Currently, I am in the process of getting a new water pump, brakes, and thermostat. Although it sounds like a lot, I have had this car, going on, five years and this is one of the first major purchases I have had to dish out. On the other hand, I wish I would have acquired an additional warranty.
One thing I will say is that the dashboard being made of plastic has already cracked right smack in the middle. I can also notice this is happening on the right door (inside) from wear and tear.
I have been very pleased with my Cavalier. I have over 40000 miles on it and I have only replaced one strut and, of course, tires. I am really impressed with the mileage it gets. I only have to fill the tank twice a month. I have been told the front seats also fit your back really well.
I think Chevrolet should be responsible for our dash boards cracking. It happened to me this past summer on my 2000, to my ex husband on his 97 sport and to my friend last night on her sport 2003!!!
I agree with the dash boards. I only had my cavalier for less than a year and the dash cracked in the middle. I notice other cars similar to mine as I walk through a parking lot with the same problem. They need to think of something more durable that can take the Texas heat. I do use a windshield visor and still, the outcome is a huge crack.
