2004 Chevrolet Cavalier Review Summary & Specs
Base Coupe
Value priced.
Summary & Specs
reviewed by
The Chevrolet Cavalier offers value. Ride and handling are surprisingly good, improved over pre-2003 models. Watch for incentives as dealers sell down the 2004 models in preparation for the launch of an all-new compact for the 2005 model year.
