1990 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"Not a good car, what so ever."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission blew at 110,000 km.
Computer module blew 2x in 1 week, cost $1500 to fix it.
Engine threw a connecting rod at 115,000 km.
General comments?
Well, when this car actually ran properly, it was a real smooth, fast and frisky ride. Unfortunately, I only owned it for about 4 months, and about half that time it sat in the repair shop. Talk about unreliable. Was the absolute worst car I've ever owned in my life. They may look sporty, but the reliability is not there. Before the engine blew, the car had over $3000 in repairs in less than 3 weeks. That's not very good, considering the car looked mint in and out, and had only 110,000 km (65,000 miles) on it. Never again will I buy a piece of junk from GM. EVER!
