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.

  Z Power - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Tank - December 5 - 1:04 pm

  I was looking for a winter car and never considered buying an American car, much less a Cavalier. To my surprise this little Z24 is fantastic, I only paid $2500 for it and that is a steal compared to anything else in the market in that good of shape, No rust...no fuss. Although it is not perfect it is very fun to drive and reliable so far. If I get 2 years out of this car, wow, I will buy another.

  Reliable - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Kevin - September 9 - 12:51 pm

  We purchased our 2000 Cavalier in October of 1999. We have 123,000 miles on the car. We get 28 mpg average between city and highway. We have the 2.2 litre engine. The car is very easy to drive and still runs very well. We have had very little trouble out of it. It has been very reliable. No leaks of any kind, and everything works. Still looks good and I enjoy driving it every day. We paid $13,000 for it new and have had the car for nearly ten years. I have no plans to sell or trade my Cavalier. I have owned many different cars from many different manufacturers, but I have kept this one the longest and have found it to be the most reliable.

  R.I.P. - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Stef B - August 13 - 2:17 am

  My Cavilier was the first car I ever owned and I loved it. It looked great, was comfortable, and was fun to drive. The only problems I ever had with it were your basic wear and tear fix ups, considering it did have a few miles on it when I bought it. Other then that it was a great car. Ive read on the internet that Caviliers are considered "death traps" but Id have to disagree. I was in a severe accident in mine and that car saved me and my friends who were with me when the wreck happened. Id consider these cars to be very safe and reliable, great for a kids first car. It would have lasted me a long time if my wreck hadnt happened.

  Best little car ever! - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Jes - June 10 - 11:07 am

  I bought this sweet little car right out of high school and have enjoyed it every day since. The only thing I have ever done to my car is get new tires and oil changes. It has never broke down or needed anything replaced. I have driven it hundreds of miles across the country and it is very comfortable for a little cheap car. I have to sell it now because I need a four door car for my new little baby. I am going to cry when my sweet little Cavalier goes away!

  Great little car for your money - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Kari - June 2 - 8:54 pm

  I bought this car brand new and Im just now trading it in. The only reason Im trading it, is because I need a bigger car for a family of 5. I wouldnt trade it if I didnt have too. Its been the best car I have ever owned. Ive only put on 81,600 miles on it and it still drives like its new. Had someone back into me but my father was able to pull the dent out and it doesnt look so bad. Only had to replace the tires and brakes. Great car for your money. Ill miss her, Ive been through a marriage and divorce and now a new family with her. I hope the next person loves her as much as I have.

  Great little car! - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Cheryl - May 19 - 8:17 pm

  I have owned this car for 2 years (bought used) and have had no major problems. It handles very well even in the snow, and has a ton of spunk. The gas mileage is unbelievable, I get 28/city, 35hwy! Super fun to drive, nice tight steering and lots of acceleration, great sound system and convertible is perfect in the summer!

  25,000 miles in one year! - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By sturns - May 12 - 6:13 pm

  I bought this car a year ago with great apprehension. I have heard bad things about Cavaliers and GM. But my fears have been asuaged. This car is a beast! From freeway to stop and go driving this car has gone 25,000 miles in one year and I have had no real problems. It can be a little underpowered and at times noisy, but its strength lies in reliability. It also excelerates well in turns. Good job Chevy! Good job GM!

  Hard Driving - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By Sturns - April 29 - 5:30 pm

  I have had this car for less than a year and have had to do a lot driving. It scared me a couple of times, but its come out a champion. Its hardy and the gas mileage isnt too bad. It has made me take a second look at GM. Sorry Japanese.

  Great for the money - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
  By ryan - March 31 - 8:56 am

  Its a car. I only put about 3000 miles on a year but reliability is great. Extremely uncomfortable seats, dasboard cracks, stereo system ok, car is black and only after 7 years the paint is in horrible condition, but is expected for color. Reliability is great and most parts if needed are extremely cheap for someone who can install themselves. Never had any major problems with anything else
