Overview & Reviews

Still available as a coupe, sedan or convertible, Chevy's best-selling car gets several subtle changes for 2000. Outside it has new body-colored front and rear facias, new headlamp/taillamp assemblies, new badging and restyled wheel covers/alloy wheels. Inside, the instrument panel now features an electronic odometer and tripmeter, a revamped center console with three front cupholders and an improved storage area. Functionally, it gets a better-shifting five-speed manual transaxle, smoother-operating ABS, Passlock II security system and standard air conditioning.

• Affordably priced, roomy enough for a family of four, Z24 is a stylish and speedy low-buck sport coupe.

• You get what you pay for in terms of comfort and convenience, below average crash-test scores.

  Good Quality car - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By -dood- - September 7 - 2:00 am

  This car is a good quality car to drive. It has a sporty exterior that turns eyes and a good midsized engine that performs very well. I have had little trouble with the car and it doesnt look like i will have much later either.

  2000 Chev Z24 review - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By ORF - August 26 - 2:00 am

  My Z24 outperforms other compact coupes in many ways. It was thousands of dollars (Cdn) cheaper than Japanese rivals and the 150hp engine offers ample mid-range torque that most Japanese engines dont have. Shifting is crisp and smooth with the Getrag 5- speed. Ride is stiff but helps a lot keeping the car stable during cornering. Reliability is better than expected. The only problems I have encountered so far were the erratic fuel guage and battery leakage, which were fixed under warranty. Overall the car is very fun to drive and inexpensive to own.

  The car runs great. It has been in Florida the whole time and has not been exposed to the winter elements and salt from the roads.

  i dont know why this rating is soo low people must just be writting crap without knowing what they are talking about. For a very affordable price the cavalier is the perfect car for any student high scool or college!!

  Fun first car - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By houstonbabe - July 2 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car new as my first car. I really love the exterior, and I am small so I can handle the cramped interior. I have driven it almost 36,000 miles in two years and have had no major problems. If only the dashboard werent noisy or cracking I would be completely satisfied.

  Z24 Coupe - Great Value - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Neuromancer - June 20 - 2:00 am

  Purchased this American Model car up here in Canada. Runs very strong and has been very reliable. I find the fit and finish to be less that what my previous car had, but was to be expected with an American car in this price range. Good fuel economy despite having a sporty, and admittedly eager to be beaten, 2.4L powerplant. Performance is on par with my old Civic SiR and interior is just as comfortable. I guess time will tell if this car is as reliable as the Honda was. My only big complaint is that the braking system is complete garbage. Everything turns to mush when driven hard, and the rears not having discs reminds me of other ten year old cars.

  Worth driving? - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By hud_green - June 18 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my Z24 2 1/2 years ago. I have had little maintenance. (breaks, water pump) As usual with any Chev the paint has begun to peel in a minor fashion. The car has held up well, it has been driven accross Canada twice. It runs smooth on the highway in the summer. In the winter it doesnt respond as well and creaks considerably more.

  Good Reliable Car - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Joseph Wilson - June 17 - 2:00 am

  I have owned my Cavalier for about two years. I love the styling of the car inside and out. Its a great looking car. The things that can be improved are the performance. Its slow....especially with the A/C on. Ive only had one recall on it which is great. Two other things are the dash is very noisy and not stable. Also the sound system is horrible.

  Great Resale Value! - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By JUP - May 12 - 2:00 am

  Bought it 2 years ago for my Daughter! Car rode fairly well, lacked power with 4 cyl engine. Had some minor issues heater core motor went early on, couple rattles. Had 1 recall heater hose rubbing against AC unit(unfortunately car broke down (overheated) before we got the notice) GM took care of it 100%. Car cost slightly over $11K with rebates. Just traded it in on Sante Fe. Trade in Value suprised me. Got $6,600 real dollars trade against bare Invoice. Super deal on Trade in had 22k miles pristine contion. Recouped over 60% of original cost. . Overall for cheap first car not too bad. Daughter is Petite car fit her well, for me uncomfortable to be in for any length of time.

  Shouldve shopped around - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Happy Couple - April 11 - 2:00 am

  We bought the car new. Ride quality is extremely rough and the dashboard rattles CONSTANTLY. The front seats are uncomfortable and it has a cheesy stereo. Overall, the car is a good value considering the package options.
