The 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier saw a few tweaks to its exterior styling. The sporty Z24 models had rear spoilers added; all of the trims were a bit sleeker and more streamlined.
Inside the cabin, the changes continued for the 2000 Cavalier. A redesigned dashboard had a retro, racetrack look; air-conditioning became a standard feature on all trims; and some little touches like added cup holders and improved child-seat anchors gave the '00 Chevy Cavalier a bit more luxury than most of the other compacts in its price class.
Three trims were available for the 2000 Chevy Cavalier. The Base trim was offered in sedan and coupe bodystyles, the more luxurious LS trim was sedan only, and the sporty Z24 was available as a two-door coupe and a convertible.

Great first car awsome commuter car. excellent on gas i averaged 500kms to a tank in the city. not the peppiest car but it will get you from point a-b everytime. Parts are dirt cheap repairs are simple and i got over 350,000kms out of mine before i scrapped mine due to body cancer in the wheel wells and rockers and floor.
February 25, 2015Performance- For a 2.4 it has some power. It has ok brakes like any other car, and it handles good if you have a few modifacations like sway bar, strut bar. Build Quality- It is in amazing condition, Has been in some wreaks but was repaired amazingly. Cost of Ownership- The cars ia sports car so the insurance and plates are alittle more, Mileage is ok for the little 2.4. Oil changes and stuff are normal. Fun Factor- The car is very fun to drive, its very sporty and handles well.
October 21, 2009I love my car and there's finally nothing major wrong with it. Unlike my last cavalier. I like that it has a sunroof and automatic windows and doors, and an alarm system. I like the gas mileage I get while driving it. I would recommend this car to a friend.

September 9, 2008It's gonna run forever. It better....it has to be my last car. I'm sorry they quit making them. It is 11 years old and still gets nearly 30 mpg and never needs anything beyond basic mainenance. I LOVE IT.
November 4, 2010Decent power, poor low end torque (except in first gear) Poor build quality, lots of creaks & squeaks Low tech suspension design, yet very rigid Decent mileage, 600-650+ km/tank from a 2.4L Very fun to drive, good value, decent power
October 30, 2009Performance- has held up to the way I drive it which is hard, so its real good Build Quality- Its held up nicely Appearance- good interior and exterior Cost of ownership- good car cheap Fun Factor- This car handles well and is a pleasure to drive
October 4, 2009what I like most about my car is the handling, it handles great around corners and in the worst of conditions, it's cheap on gas, and not an expensive car to fix or tune ;) , over all I would have to say that cavaliers are one of the best first cars to own.
November 3, 2008I'm not big on the 4-door models, unless it's the RARE 4-door fully equipped Z24 model with sunroof. I'm still looking for one any color. I love Cavalier and wish GM would start back making them. I hear some people talk smack about Cavalier. Cavalier has it's share of flaws like any other vehicle, but it is a very reliable vehicle if you maintain it.
March 13, 2013It has good performance, It also has a good build quality, no problems in that manner. It looks good inside and out, parts are inexpensive if needed, it has a low gas and maintenance cost, and it is also pretty fun to drive although it would be better if it were a standard.
