2003 Chevrolet Cavalier
Though it is Chevrolet's smallest car, the 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier certainly
doesn't have any inferiority problems. This is especially true for 2003,
as all models are given the dependable Ecotec 2.2-liter L4 engine, resulting
in quickness out of the gate and long-lasting staying power. Additional
improvements to the Cavalier see its safety features upgraded and its
exterior splashed with a fresh new style.
New options are also available, adding to the impressive number of changes
2003 models receive. Always improving itself, the 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier
is now even more appealing.
Available Models
The 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier is offered in a two-door coupe body and a
four-door sedan body in three models. There is a base model, an LS model
and an LS Sport model, whose aim is nothing less than high performance
satisfaction.
Interior Features
Both coupes and sedans seat five. The base model offers a good value without
dropping the essentials. Air conditioning, power steering, a mix of cloth-and-vinyl
upholstery, front bucket seats, a center console, an AM/FM radio, a digital
clock, a tachometer and a power remote decklid release are all standard.
The LS model adds cruise control, a tilt steering wheel, cloth upholstery,
power mirrors, windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, an AM/FM/CD
player and more. The LS Sport differentiates itself from other models
with its performance package.
New for the 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier are some very practical interior
options. XM Satellite Radio is now available, a digital radio system that
basically guarantees a signal no matter where you are. The OnStar system
is another, providing added security in the event of danger.
Exterior Features
The 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier has perhaps the sportiest look ever. Their
new exterior features styled ground effects, front fascia with fog lamps,
rear fascia, headlamps, taillamps and hood. The LS Sport model has new
rocker moldings and integrated fog lamps. Cavalier also offers chrome
aluminum wheels, specific body-color door handles, body-color exterior
mirror housings for power mirrors, leather-wrapped transmission shift
knob, steering wheel and high profile rear spoiler.
Performance
The 2003 Cavalier is capable and dependable in part thanks to its standard
engine. The Ecotec 2.2-liter L4 is able to pump out a steady 140 horsepower
at 5600 rpm and 150 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. A primary feature of
the Ecotec is its quiet operation, as its design limits shaking and noise.
Both 4-speed automatic and 5-speed manual transmissions are offered. The
Cavalier's fuel economy is another attractive selling point, as automatics
get 24/32 mpg (city/hwy), while manuals boast 25/33 mpg (city/hwy).
LS Sport models are designed for a little more of the rough stuff. They
are given a standard package that includes sport suspension, 205/55R16
tires and chrome alloy wheels.
Safety and Security
Safety and security features have been improved as well. Along with the
available OnStar system, a center rear three-point seat belt and optional
front driver and passenger seat-mounted torso air bags with thorax protection
(side impact airbags) are new for 2003. Dual front airbags are present
across all models, while LS models have standard antilock brakes.
