Hate to think of ever replacing her - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By Brian - November 9 - 2:00 amI bought my 2000 Cavalier 4dr stick- shift new in 2000. Just needed fuel efficient transportation and never expected to fall in love w/her. This car has done it all. I have pulled a small trailer with it since new and still only just replaced the clutch once at 109k miles. Consistently gets 36 mpg on interstate and 28-30 daily driving. I have had this car most people wouldnt take a 4wd truck. As for design and ride comfort, its a cavalier not a mercedes. This car has 116k miles and I hope I get another 10 yrs out of her. I hope one day, when I finally have to let her go, that I can find another ride as great as this car.

Eight and a half years of good driving. - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By A.B. - September 16 - 2:00 amYesterday I bid a fond farewell to a close friend after 8 1/2 years. I got my Cavalier in March 2002 as a high school graduation present from my grandmother. I have to say, the Cav did its job and then some. I went to college 3-4 hours away from home, and I now live a half hour away from where I now work, and have done the commute for 4 years now. The Cavalier was great on gas and kept me safe on one of the worst, most congested Interstates in the country. From an old man t-boning me after running a stop sign to skidding on ice on the Interstate, hitting a snow bank, and the only damage being a bent license plate, this cars toughness isnt to be underestimated. I loved the old gal!

Love my Cavalier - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By jennybear - March 31 - 1:36 pmThis is my second cavalier. The first one I had was a 91 and Chevy had made major improvements by 2000. I bought my vehicle second hand at 30,000 miles, and have loved the drive ever since. She is good in the snow. (as good as you can get without 4 wheel drive) She is dependable. The only part that I have had to repeatedly replace is a chip in the dash for the heat. I have only had to replace this 2 times in 10 years so that is not bad. Plus its a cheap part to replace, like 10 dollars. Otherwise a little cramped in the back seat, but as a driver comfortable seats, fun to drive, dependable, durable, and I think Ill try to keep it for another 10 years.

Great Car - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By donnn - February 11 - 5:13 pmIve had this car since the day I turned 16, and Ive loved every minute with it. I drive over 60 miles a day, and this car has NEVER let me down in the least bit. I have not had to repair a single thing in the 60,000 miles that Ive had it. Starts in the coldest weather, and goes through any kind of weather like a champ. Its great on gas, and Im always getting compliments on how sharp looking it is. Treat this car well, and it will run forever.

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

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!

Love It! - 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier
By Mitchell - September 11 - 12:33 pmI am 17 and this is my first car. I bought it with 93,000 miles. It is fun to drive, and gets great gas mileage. The only problems that I am having are, the sunroof switch has a short and will only open all the way if its been in the sun. It has great acceleration, and response. I also need to fix the struts in the front, but its not the cars fault.
