I've been driving the Cavalier for quite some time. This car commonly comes with either a 1.5L naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine or a 1.0T three-cylinder turbocharged version. Mine is the 1.5L naturally aspirated model, producing around 113 horsepower. It offers smooth daily driving with gentle yet sufficient acceleration, and delivers low fuel consumption in the city, averaging about 6.5 liters per 100 kilometers, making it economical and hassle-free. It's also stable on the highway without feeling floaty. Maintenance is straightforward—just an oil change every few months, and parts are easy to find and affordable, with routine servicing costing just a few hundred bucks. This engine is shared across the Chevrolet family, having been used in models like the Cruze, and is known for its mature, reliable technology with few major issues, making it ideal for regular families or commuters. Noise control inside the cabin is excellent, with minimal engine sound, ensuring comfort even on long drives.
