2003 Chevrolet Cavalier Reviews

I love my car because I've had it forever. The only complaint I have is that she has recently been needing more work. But she is pretty old.

I love the gas mileage it has for a full tank of gas. The size of the car is just right. The color of the car is my favorite. I do not like how my clear coat is coming off.

It was a certified car most problems are from wear and tear. I get the oil changed regularly if you get a used car make sure it is certified. I got this car in 2005 and it still runs fairly well. I have a lot of miles on it over 100, 000. Went on a lot of vacations. We do not go any more the last one wore us out.

My check engine light is always on. It's not good looking on appearance. Has great speed and gas mileage.

I like the size of my car, the gas mileage I get and It's cute.

We bought it used. We enjoy this capable sedan. However there are problems with the fuel injector. It has been replaced yet if you do not give it a moment to start it will not. So, you must turn the key and wait. It can be frustrating when you are in a hurry.

I like it a lot but it is very small not a whole lot of room for everything

Mirrors and windows are manual, which can be frustrating, but overall the car drives well, has excellent brakes and comfortable seats.

I like that it is very dependable. I like that it gets great gas mileage.

It's reliable. I bought it used at 30,000 miles and I've put 75,000 on it. It runs smooth and the biggest issue I've had is needing to replace the exhaust, but that is Winter use for you.

I like that it's great on gas. However, it's super compact and we can't really loud much in it. Also, there isn't AC in the back so we have to use something to funnel AC from the front ro the back for our kids because we live in Arizona where it's extremely hot all the time. It gets us from A to B with good mileage and that's about the only good thing. Its reliable.

My car currently has ignition problems. It also has hood damage and minor rust areas. It runs good and has been a reliable car for the past 10 years. I have the oil changed every few months and the interior is in pretty good shape. The are no tears in the interior. The dash is cracked and has a small piece missing. Overall the car is in okay condition.

I Love the gas mileage that this older car gets. It is a bit small/tight trying to get 3 older kids in the backseat. It is shorter to the ground than I usually like. However mechanically I have had very few problems with it. The dashboard is starting to crumble, but that could be normal with its age.

No performance problems other than wear and tear, just normal older car issues. I love the gas mileage 25 to 27 mpg city and 35 to 37 mpg highway. I have the sports, I enjoy the sunroof pretty much year round. It is a small car with mid-size car room. I feel safe and the car has the get up and go for a 4 banger 2. 2 liter engine. I was to just one outer door skin and a repaint to have it redone completely. I love this car.

I like that it's easy on gas, radio works, heater/ac works. I don't like how hard it is on gas or how it goes through tires so fast!

Love having a convertible. But since it is so old it is hard to get service and parts. It also breaks down often.

It's a good car. Runs great. Recently the switch for the window control broke. But it was an easy fix. The motor in our sunroof stopped working and the sunroof now wont close all the way and water leaks into our car really bad. But other than that no problems, or big ones at least.

Overall it's a very practical and reliable car. I've only had very minor issues with it and it's been super easy finding parts for it to fix.

I love the size and reliability. It gets good gas mileage. I don't like the color or that it only has 2 doors.

This car is reliable. It's a bit old so it has some issues appearance wise, namely the clear coat is peeling. However for a 4 cylinder engine it drives really well. I bought it used 2 years ago, despite normal things such as tires, brakes, and oil, I have only had to replace the idler pulley once. Give the age of the car that's not a bad deal at all.

It's a smaller vehicle but it runs great even after 16 years. Window switched are located below the shifter on center console which is weird sometimes off putting but you can get used to it. Parts are always available and relatively inexpensive. Great with gas econ as well

I dislike the seats because they are uncomfortable when traveling long distances. I do like that even as old as it is, it still gets really good gas mileage. I also like that I haven't had to do much maintenance on it.

No issues with performance, body is rusting but was bought that way. Good gas mileage. No cruise control and no AUX port but can use cigarette lighter port for an adapter. Comes with CD player. Automatic locks and windows.

My car is very smooth driving car. It is not the most flattering to the eyes, but it gets the job done. The cavalier sips gas instead of chugs it as well, saving money in the gas department. Not many issues with my car at all.

I love my car. The only thing that makes me sad is that Chevy discontinued the car. But it runs as well today as the day I bought it.

This is a great little car. It has had no major problems. It does have a major design flaw, though. The dash board area has cracked in several places. (Everyone that I know who owns this car has had the same problem.) It gets good gas mileage. Another problem is insurance is more expensive for it in my state because it is classified as a sports car.

That it's good on gas.and that it starts every time

It's old and used so it isn't the best shape, but gas mileage is very awesome! It's small, very easy to use and cheap on parts.

The car is great. It runs fine being how old it is. There have been a couple problems along the way but the were cheap and quick fixes. As long as I get the regular check ups it should keep going for another 20 years. It is also great with gas. The one problem I have is the defroster on the back window is not working anymore. That's all through.

I'm getting read to turn the odometer over 200,000 miles with no engine problems.

It is 15 years old but has maintained. I do have a problem with the AC unit where it only works with the car moving. I've had to replace the engine as well

This is a nice car it was a cheap car but its good on gas and the parts are very cheap. I didn't pay much for it you can find parts very easy. Its roomy it's a automatic but they make standards also. This is a good car for anyone even with a family small. Or large family it don't matter.

My car is red and the bumper is falling off. It pretty reliable.

Reliable. Has lasted for over 10 years. No power locks or windows.

I like that my car has not had to have too many major repairs and as old as it is it still runs good. I dislike that it has so many miles on it.

This particular Carlos has the very small 2.2 engine and is surprisingly very quick. The best part is the gas mileage and the little amount of money to film. Runs great and Justin passed 100,000 mi. Still going strong

This is the best car I have ever had. Minor issues but I take care of it! I'd highly recommend this car! I get the oil changed on a 3 month basis! The only bad thing with this car is that the windows do not open anymore. It is all electric so I need to buy a new battery for it in order for the windows to work again.

No problems, runs great for the year of the car , I get great gas mileage, very nice road trip car everything works , oil changes every 3000 miles

There has really been no significant problems with the car, it drives well, gets great gas mileage, is comfortable although it has fairly stiff suspension, the features are pretty standard, but it is peppy for a four cylinder car, all in all it is fun to drive and very dependable.

I like that It has cruise control and it is easy to drive. That it is easy to get repair work done and so far has not cost that much.

Only two doors. Not enough trunk space. Also has mechanical issues including no driver window and a cracked windshield.

My Chevy cavalier has been for the most part very reliable. It has 280000 miles on it now with no major repairs need. The AC has been working this entire time with only one recharge. The gas mileage has also been reliable at 28 city and 30 highway. The original radio did not have a CD player or an aux cord, so it was upgraded. The speaker did not need upgrading as the bass was good.

It's old but solid! Rough around the edges but always reliable.

Like the vehicle for Its economy. Hate it for having all the normal problems of a GM product. It has served well.

Great car in great shape and have had it for a long time. 2 door and rides smooth. Do not like that it makes noises when driving. Would recommend this car to anyone. Sometimes engine light comes on when gas door is someone open and not completely closed.

It's been a very reliable vehicle, and is wearing well. My only complaint is lack of head room, and tiny cup holders that nothing fits in.

My car was bought used by a friend within the past year. He had bought it from an elderly woman that rarely drove the vehicle. Within the first 5 months of ownership at 70, 000 miles I had to have a major repair done on my engine. My muffler now has a hole in it and my steering is giving me some noise now.

It's good on gas, handles the road good. I really don't like the color but it hasn't needed to much in fixing costs

I dislike that it only has 2 doors. I like the silver color. The air conditioning could be better and I need more space.

Very reliable, never had any major problems with it. Just regular maintenance. It's good on gas and sporty

Great vehicle it is a good gas saver and cheap to use. We all like driving it around. A small vehicle but I can get in and out of tight places easier.

I've had this car for 5 years its still in awesome condition. Has less than 100, 000 miles on it. Great first car, 2 door, automatic windows, new brakes. Small good for one person, needs oil change and some new tires. It has a decent radio no major problems.

It's run down, grey leather seats that are too hot. My side door won't open at all the cable has been cut in half. The air conditioning fan or motor won't stay on. You have to bang it underneath the passenger floorboard. The hood got slammed shut too. Wouldn't open for a couple months.

I love my Chevy cavalier. It is the most reliable, dependable car I have ever had. I keep the normal maintenance up and do the recommended up keep that is suggested to me in order to keep the car in top shape. I would recommend a Chevy cavaliers to any looking to buy a second hand car. You will not be disappointed.

It is economical sporty and roomy I also have not had any major problems with it. It is been an excellent car.

I love that it gets me where I need to be. I love that the air is cold and heat works. I love the color and that she fits my personality.

My car is just dated. The dashboard is all cracked and the speakers are going bad.

My car is old and needs some maintenance. I've only had it a sort time but it has been very reliable. Very comfortable seating. Seems safe. Only problem I have found, or not found is the transmission dipstick. Car runs sound a smooth. I've heard finding parts may be a problem. Idk.

My vehicle is a nice reliable car, comfy seating plenty of legroom.. Back windows go all the way down. Spacious trunk and great radio and USB adaptor!! Plenty of compartments for drinks, sunglasses pretty much anything you need to have while driving.. Great on gas and low mileage as well.

It's used and not in the best condition. The motor runs well though and it has a manual transmission that doesn't have any problems. It gets up to 33 mpg which is the main reason I decided to buy it.

It is a very good running car. I had to put a starter and new battery in it. Otherwise it's a very reliable car!

It's the ls sport so it looks good drives well gets good mpg 2.2 L NA power when i want it when i got the gas dislikes the car is showing Its age a now 150,000 miles now still runs good but the car is starting to rust and fall apart i need something a little newer but i like the way my car feels i drive other cars and it feels numb you don't get a a lot of feedback

Battery went bad really fast, as well as the alternator, but I bought it used and those are the only issues I have had with it. It is been very reliable. I would recommend it as a first car for anyone on a budget. Nothing too fancy but as I said, very reliable and easy to drive. Good mileage. I have had it for 7 years now and it is the best car I have owned. The interior is very simple, and for lack of a better word 'user friendly'.

The thing that I dislike about my car is the way it looks I still need to work and get things fixed like my tires my engine my car is really starting to get old so I need another.

It is a very reliable car. It is very easy to drive. It gets good gas mileage. It is very to park. It has just the features I want.

What's the size of the hood

Good strong car may be on the older side but still running like a top no rust problems or electronic problems just an all around good car for a low price

The only issue I am having with my car is the dash is literally cracked and broken in several places. I am told that the year the car was made they had problems with the dashboards. Otherwise it is mechanically sound and has over 230k on it. Gets great gas mileage. I do not know why they still are not making them. Maybe because they were such good cars that they weren't making enough on repairs and trade ins.

I have a 2 year old and it is a 2 door car. It makes it difficult to get him in and out of the car comfortably. It does have good gas mileage.

I like the color. I like having a reliable vehicle. Gas on it is pretty reasonable.

I have not had any problems with my car. Smooth ride, strong engine. The seats are comfortable. They sit lower to the ground. The paint is peeling some from the sun here by the ocean. Also on top of dashboard is starting to crack. Outside of that it has been amd is a very reliable car.

It is too small because I am 6-5. It is a reliable car though.

Its red but only a two door. I like the color the two doors is a little inconvenient. I need a new paint job.

Had it for 15 years and only minor repairs rides a little rough

It works well. It is not my favorite,because it is too small. I need a new one

It's a decent car. It gets me were I need to go I don't really experience mechanical problems with it.

It is a very cheap and reliable car. Has had a few problems as any 15 year old car would have. Easy on gas

It is a good running car and gets good gas mileage.

With the Chevy cavalier I've experienced it to be a pretty decent reliable car. The only problems I've had with it is the underneath rusting out an parts needing to be welded. Also the key gets stuck in the ignition.

Runs very well but vehicle is too small. Good gas mileage and very dependable. Have had no significant mechanical issues. Some hail damage and it needs a rear panel replace due to a dent. Recently had oil changed and no issues identified. It only has 79000 miles so very low mileage for it is age.

No problems has been a great car for me not much maintenance needed for me to do has be a great running car for me only had to do basic maintenance on it which I have been so thankful that it runs great for me has had not major work needed all the work had been done by my son not engine or /transmission work needed.

It has great gas mileage. It is pretty dependable. I wish it was newer and had new tires.

I like the size of my vehicle and the color. However, it is getting old and the body is starting to rust which I dislike. It rides nice and is cheap to repair when needed.

It's a sturdy car gets me were i need to go so eh.

There are a couple problems, Brake and calipers. Other than that it's a great vehicle runs great and gets u from place to place very reliable vehicle. There are a couple rust spots that need to be cleaned up. Inside of the car is in great shape very clean and nice. The frame needs some work the engine is good could use an oil change and windshield fluid .

I love my car I have had it for awhile I have not put it in the shop but one time. I would tell anyone that they would want to buy this car.

Bought this car in 2005. It has been a great car and nothing really wrong with it besides the normal upkeep. It has 222000 miles on it and had to replace the clutch and slave cylinder once. It's very easy on fuel and great for highway mileage. Highly recommend this vehicle

It is not a very reliable vehicle. I have had several issues with it lately actually. It is a 2003 Chevrolet cavalier. It is a two door vehicle. It is silver. It gets very good gas mileage though. However, lately I struggle to keep any gas in it! I have owned it for several years now.

My car has window cranks & am/FM stereo, its four door but one doesn't work, it's very reliable at least so far! Has a/c & heater w/defrost & their are leaks in our floor boards but nice & clean, great on gasoline just depends if you travel up hills a lot or not on how well the gas does!

Performs well, but the windows and mirrors are manually operated. The seats are very comfortable, something that nearly everyone who rides in my car comments on. CD player can be fickle, mine stopped working entirely, but radio and cassette player work great.

No complainants. It is reliable. Good on gas. Hardly had to put money into it and bought it used.

It is small. Gets good gas mileage. No problems with the engine. Still like new and has low miles still.

Good car. Gets me where I need to go. Like any car after few years it becomes run down. Cost a lot to fix. Expensive.

I love Cavaliers. This is the third one that I have ever owned. They are very dependable and reliable. I have never had any problem with any of them and they are very cheap on gas. The only thing in

It's an old car with no special features. I have no hubcaps. The car is white.

I like that even after how old it is, it still runs better than most cars. I don't like that it doesn't have the same features as newer cars. Overall though I really like this car.

Bought it used and for the most part absolutely love it. Great mileage and smooth ride spacious. The only problem I have is what I am guessing is a starter issue but easily fixed by just pouring water onto the area. I can't directly get to it beings that it is under the motor...I know she starts right up every time though right away if I need to do the water trick

This vehicle was my husband's grandma's vehicle. It runs well and gets me to and from destinations as needed without issue. The one thing I would say is a problem is that the road house is bad on the highway as if the door seals are bad. Also the passenger seat belt locks when trying to put it in sometimes causing the passenger to have to go without a belt. The vehicle has less than 50k miles!

Love the gas mileage love how it handles needs a little more leg room love the silver color

It still runs good but does have a few issues coming from the age.
