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.

the white lemon - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By adam210 - May 9 - 2:00 ami hope for chevys sake that i just got a lemon, but this thing is a hunk of junk. not long after the warranty was up it started to fall apart. wind noise is VERY loud, as are the creeking and squeeking sound that seem to come from every sq in of the car. at 55000 miles i have a rod knocking. my mechanic said that he noticed this happening alot in the ld9 "2.4l dohc" engine and a friend of his at the dealership said that gm knows about the problem, but it seems to happen after the warranty is up, so they do nothing.

I love it! - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By dazednconfuzed - February 27 - 2:00 amThis August, my Cav will be four years young. Just to give you an idea, shes been with me since I was 17...and has survived the crazy teenager years with me. Ive kept my car well maintained and have had absolutely no trouble with it at all, period. The 2.4L 150hp engine comes with a lot of pep and hasnt lost any of it. The handling is nice and precise. The Cav has a very sleek and sporty design, and the z24 comes with its own 16 inch alloy rims. And all for a lot less than most other cars!

Sastisfied 1st New Car Driver - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By QueBertguy - January 15 - 2:00 amNervous about dropping all my savings into a more expensive car, the Chevy Cavilier was an excellent choice for a first new car for myself fresh out of highschool. It performs quite well, and has needed only minor maintaince... a "chrip" in the front wheels and a creaky dash have been the only problems to date. Sleek enough looking, with a good amount of room, and a nice stereo system... not bad on gas either. Two long distance trips per year, no problems at all. To get through college this is an excellent car. Not perfect or amazing to the point youd wanna show it off... but good and solid enough to get the job done, and look alright while doing it.

Chev Cav 2000, aka, LEMON - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By Pavel - November 19 - 2:00 amMy 2000 Chev Cavalier gave me problems right from the first 15,000 miles. In that time I had replaced all 4 Goodyear Tires..they all developed holes in the sidewall...my fault even though it had not happened to me in my 20 yrs of auto ownership. Goodyear would not prorate any tires. At 40K, the radio went out. Fortunately, I had an extended warranty, but I had to fight w/Robert Levis Chev in Slidell, La to get it fixed. While fixing the radio, they damaged the digital oddometer (they wouldnt admit it!). After this incident, Ive had to repair the fuel pump, battery and alternator, and other stuff Im forgetting. Im buying a new car, thank God.

Perpetual Rent-a-Car - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By julmak - August 27 - 2:00 amThis car will get you from point A to point B, but there is nothing special occupy you while youre in transit. Only one problem - the catalytic converter went bad. The front driver- side tire "chirps" as I drive, but no one has been able to fix it. Cavalier has been consistently listed as the worst passenger/family sedan in terms of safety by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. http://www.hwysafety.org/vehicle_rating s/ce/html/summary_midinexp.htm# http://www.hwysafety.org/vehicle_rating s/ce/html/photo_comp_midinexp.htm According to CR, if you were T-boned in a Caviler on the drivers side, youre almost certain to have a permanent or fatal injury.

Shaky Brakes - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By RaYcH - July 5 - 2:00 amI agree with the person who said there is vibrating feel with the brakes sometimes. Its weird. Overall, I love my car. It looks good and drives well. I had some problems with the Solinoid(not sure of the spelling) when I first bought it. Took the dealership a while to figure out what was wrong. Guess thats what I get for buying a used car. But its a great car for a good price.

So what if it aint a Vette? - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By John W - May 19 - 2:00 amThis is a fun little car to drive and own. It isnt refined like a Jaguar. It isnt a performance car like a Corvette. For the money, it makes no pretense about what it is simply an enjoyable ride about town with the top down. Besides, if you want all those fancy features, open your wallet up a bit more and quit whining.

its a chevrolet - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By bink7 - May 6 - 2:00 amI LOVE THIS CAR, HAVE NOT HAD ONE PROBLEM WITH IT IN THE LAST 2 AND 1/2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. RIDES GREAT LOOKS SHARP AND IT PERFORMS WELL IN ALL AREAS AS LONG AS COMMON SENSE IS USED WHEN DRIVING. MY ONLY BEEF (MINOR) IS THAT I THOUGHT THE GAS MILAGE WOULD BE A LITTLE BETTER, GETS ABOUT 28 TO 30 MILES PER GALLON. MY WIFE HAS A 2000 SATURN AND SHE LOVES IT, BUT TO ME THIS CAVALIER IS A MUCH MORE SOLIDLY BUILT AUTOMOBILE.
