This Year's Model Updates:

Not much. An upgraded stereo with a CD and MP3 player is now available on the base coupe and sedan. The Sport Appearance package that includes 16-inch wheels, a rear spoiler and sport suspension is also available on the base coupe and sedan.

Pros:
  • Low price, torquey four-cylinder engine, optional satellite radio and OnStar.
Cons:
  • Ancient design inside and out, cheap interior materials, poor build quality, low resale value, poor side-impact and front-offset crash test results.

    My husband and I just bought the car earlier this month but we researched it a lot prior to buying it and test drove many cars before making our decision. So far I am really enjoying it and we are very pleased with it.

  • Nice little car - 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier
    By -

    I purchased this car in Feb. 04, primarily for a commuter car. So far it has been very reliable. It just has a likeability. Also the $4,000 rebate GM was offering at that time influenced my decision to purchase. Our other car is a 2000 Honda Civic that my wife drives. Its also a great little car, but I prefer to drive the Chevy.

  • Stay out of the wind - 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier
    By -

    I bought the 2004 Cavalier strictly as an economical "drive to work" car. I liked the low price with the rebates and the looks arent bad. However, when on the highway if there is any cross wind you cant keep it on the road. It will change lanes by itself if you dont pay close attention. Also, what 1950s design engineer came up with the bright idea of using a cartridge oil filter instead of the spin on type? I can see why the 2005 model is the last year for Cavalier.

    My car is cute, incredibly peppy, and so fun to drive (5 speed) that I was laughing with delight on its test drive.
