2002 Chevrolet Cavalier Coupe
Summary:
All in all, this is a great car at a great price
Faults:
When I bought it there was a collection of water in the trunk where the spare is kept.
Only a few weeks into owning the car the "Check Engine" light came on. When I brought it into the dealership they tried to charge me almost triple the real price to fix the problem. Ended up only paying 50 bucks because it wasn't even thirty days off the lot.
The brakes have started to squeal off and on, but not terrible.
The road-noise is pretty loud, but again, nothing terrible.
CD player crapped out a month ago. I had to buy another one.
The AC is great, but the switch is starting to go, and it will only work when it is on the third or fourth.
The axle squeaks when I am in reverse.
General Comments:
It drives extremely well, gets great gas mileage, and I have a great warranty.
It scratches easily, but you can avoid scratches by just being careful.
The seats are amazingly comfortable.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

It really baffles me that you are having so many problems. I take you at your word that your review is accurate. I have an '03 which has been nothing, but an absolute pleasure. I am not sure whether the '02s have the 8 valve pushrod engine or the ECOTEC engine, but either way, the car is built on a tried and true platform, which has been very solid throughout the years. Good luck.
