4-speed automatic FWD
We have owmed this car for five years now with nothing but oil changes and one set of brake pads. It now has almost 100k miles on it and it runs great and has no problems. full 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier review
2002 4dr Sedan 115-horsepower 2.2L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
I've driven this car thousands of miles now and I can firmly say that this car is darn near unkillable. It's been on gravel and driven long distances without missing a beat. This car may have been made with haphazard build quality but the powertrain, suspension, and brakes take beatings and never stop ticking. full 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier review
