Favorite feature: |
Some cargo room and not bad on M.P.G. or seating room. |
Least favorite feature: |
Too costly for a compact wagon after adding options. Not available with as many features as the Cavalier LS sedan. |
Advice to buyer: |
I have to recommend the 2003 Cavalier LS sedan oerall over this wagon. |
Detailed review: |
I was recently looking for a fuel-economic car in my price range that has plenty of cargo room. So, I checked and drove this. It does not have much more cargo room than the 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier LS I got. It had good power. But it was not as fuel-economical as the Cavalier. And I could not get GM's stereo with it with both cassette and CD. Nor could I get it with OnStar. I did the Cavalier. And I could not get it with XM Satellite Radio like I could the Cavalier. Plus, the Cavalier came standard with power windows, door locks and cruise. Those were optional for this. By the time those were added, even with GM's rebate, it was out of my price range. And only the Vibe's optional automatic has overdrive. Both the manual and automatic do with the Cavalier. With the way the economy is now, a lot of us are on tight budgets. We need a car that is comfortable, roomy and fuel-economical enough that will fit into our budgets. My suggestion is to avoid this and go for the 2003 Cavalier LS sedan. |
