Overview & Reviews

New LS Sport trim level for coupes and sedans that features an all-new 2.2-liter EcoTec engine. A Z24 sedan joins the Z24 coupe at the top end of the lineup, while both the LS and base model Cavalier gain additional standard equipment and an optional Sport appearance package. Both Z24 models get an upgraded stereo and an optional Sport appearance package will be available later in the year. Three new colors have also been added along with an upgraded cloth interior.

• Affordably priced, new EcoTec four-cylinder engine, Z24 is a stylish and speedy low-buck sport coupe.

• You get what you pay for in terms of feature content, haphazard build quality, dreadfully uncomfortable seats.

  A good value in an inexpensive car. - 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Cavalier Driver - April 2 - 11:33 am

  Our Cavalier has been very reliable and inexpensive to own. The only significant repair we have had to make, beyond routine maintenance, was the replacement of the fuel pump at about 80,000 miles. Even though I now work for a new car dealership of another make of cars, I have to say that our Cavalier was a good purchase for us.

  BEST ECONOMY/FUN CAR EVER - 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Johnathan - February 24 - 10:00 am

  Chevy must have done something really right when they built my car. It is a 1990 Chevy Cavalier that still rides like its on rails. Its got 228,000 miles on original everything and it is still one smooth ride.

  Not a bad car at all, at least for me - 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By p DuB - January 15 - 4:31 am

  I bought my 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier standard black coupe in November 2006. I like this car because it hasnt given me any problems yet. I hear very good and bad things about this car all the time, I dont really know who to believe. But, all I can say is that I own the standard 2002 coupe model with about 58,000 miles on it and it runs great. Ive had this car for about 2 months now and havent had any problems yet, but from what I have been hearing and reading about this car, Im ready for the worst that can happen with it. I havent changed the oil or anything on it yet, but I will very soon. Overall, its very reliable for a nice every day car for driving for fun, to work, or to school.

  Can anyone say - 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By LMXRacer - January 12 - 10:00 am

  I am a sport compact guy, domestic of course. I buy a sub $20,000 car, and modify it for racing, so I am hard on almost every aspect of the car, and both z-24s (my old 99 and my new 02) have held up extremely well. Of course I keep them maintained, but that goes without saying. An excellent base with which to build upon, if you are into this lifestyle as I am. With a few simple engine, exhaust, and tranny mods

  a great car! - 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By ryan sarver - January 24 - 4:36 am

  175k miles and still going strong, has only ever had normal maintenance, this is my 2nd cavalier, my first one was a 03, I was young and dumb and was running close to 100mph, hit a phone box, went thru a fence, hit 2 trees then backed the car out of the woods and walked away unharmed, I can not complain with this car I love it

  Great Vehicle - 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Mike C - January 3 - 7:13 pm

  A near perfect car with outstanding handling, good fuel ecomomy (30+), and very comfortable. I am very satisfied with my Z24. Your web site is incorrect when it states that all of these have 5-speed manual transmissions. Mine has a four-speed automatic transmission with traction control. That is not available with the 5-speed manual and does make a substantial difference in value. I am a professional used car and truck buyer that attends auto auctions weekly. I am very familiar with the actual wholesale and retail values. Your site is does not contain realistic values for many of the vehicles I researched on it.

  A Great Car For the Money - 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Matt - December 23 - 1:49 am

  We bought this car with just 55K and so far it needed nothing and is holding up quite well. The little 2.2 is more powerful than you would think and the transmission is smooth. Fuel economy is an average of 35-40 MPG. The AC and heater are strong and the CD/cassette player has great sound and is RDS equipped. The interior while well designed is full of cheap plastic but its still holding up well. The seats are comfortable but look and feel cheap. Interior room is not bad for a small car.
