Pros: Simple, sleek, fun to drive
Cons: Clearcoat chipping
Summary: I bought this car a few days ago from a dealer. While the Cavalier is pretty generic to look at, it makes up for it in the ride. For a compact car, I find the ride to be smooth and fairly quiet. The shock absorbers are pretty good for a compact, too. ... read more
