Chevrolet Cavalier Overview

Chevrolet Cavalier is GM's volume leader for passenger cars. A rounded body style distinguishes it from the Ford Escort, Dodge Neon and Honda Civic and that's been enhanced for 2000 with revised styling.

Though not a leader in sophistication, Cavalier rides nicely on most road surfaces and it comes standard with anti-lock brakes, which have been upgraded this year for improved performance. A new Getrag manual transmission and shifter is designed to improve shift feel and make it easier to get into reverse, while a new fuel pump and meter system helps reduce engine noise from the previously bothersome level.

This is a practical car with cargo capacity. It's also a sensible car, offering value in terms of its price and the numerous goodies, such as air conditioning, that come standard.
