1989 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 Sport Coupe review from North America
"A fast, reliable, high performance car for under $2500"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to have new front shocks put on immediately.
I needed the air conditioning recharged immediately.
I had to put in new spark plug wires put in at 123,000 miles.
General comments?
This is the fastest, cheapest sports car you can pick up. 1,700-2,000 dollars will get you a 1989-90 Z24. Mine will top out at about 118-122 MPH, and it's 12 years old.
They also handle like it's not funny.
Make sure it is a five speed, the automatics are notorious for blowing the transmission every 60,000 miles or so.
