I dearly love Cavaliers. This is the second one our family has had. I bought it in 2009 for $4000. I love stick shifts and this was the second selling fetcher. When driving a good speed I can get about 34mpg mostly highway miles. With city driving I get about 30mpg. I drive a good bit every day for a good job. This car is extremely dependable. I have had very little repairs. I have replaced the alternator which I have had to replace in every car I have had. When the alternator went out mom was driving it on a road that that was farm land for miles at about 11pm at night. Things started to shut off and she was able to limp into town and coast into a parking spot. We still talk about that night. It got her to a safe place to stop. Also recently some kind of plate springs behind the clutch or transmission broke and I had to get that replace. They also replaced the clutch. It drives even better now. As for other issues there are not many. i have a oxygen sensor that needs to be replaced and the spring that roles the seat belt doesn't work that great. I have a coupe of cracks on the dash at the window that make a rattling noise some times. the cruise control works great but some times cuts out if I turn on the blinker. I also want to replace my radio. The radio area will let me put a big one in its spot. The car drives very well, good shifting and acceleration. My commute is about 40-50 min one way. I love the sun roof. The trunk is a great size and the back seat folds down if I need more room. Car looks sporty. I will probable look into a newer model the next time I need a new car. Too bad they didn't continue this line.

I own a 2002 cavalier. I bought this car with 5k miles. Within 6 months of ownership my starter went out. Thank God for warranty. After my starter was fixed more problems arised. I want to say I bought a used car. Electrical problems, broken trunk, broken sunviser, problems with my headlights, seat belt broken, and other problems under the hood. I HATE this car.

I have to say they are good for gas milege. As a over all car would never own one again. They do not have any power and are very prone to break down. They are not worth your time or effort or money. They are only good cars if you want to spend the money onthem to repair.
At least this Cavaliar is 'great'!

Great pick-up. Great on gas savings. Room enough for a chubby driver. Looks real good. Easy to keep clean.
Dealer has my car more than I do!!!!!!!!

I wish I would have never bought this car. WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE! The dealer has had the car as much as I have if not more. Car stalls on me when I put it into drive.Dosen't happen all the time so they say can not duplicate it. Supposed to be fixed every time that I get it back but still have same problem. Power windows have gotten stuck. Cigarette lighter and power volt have both been blown. Say it was my car carger but it workes in every other car. Oh yeah they say a cigarette lighter is not the place for a car charger. Odometer light went out. Clunking in steering when I turn. Been to dealer at least 10 times.
