1987 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24, CS review from North America
"The best car I've ever had!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, the dash is a given!
I worked around the dash going all together, now my dash works with my parking lights on, but no dimmer switch.
Had to change the crank sensor, that was hectic!
Drivers seat needs to be replaced.
Motor mount has failed (front, right)
General comments?
I have had the car almost 4 years, and the only things I have had to replace were the common maintainence parts, brakes, etc.
I have 500,000 kms on this engine, and the engine still sounds like it just rolled off the assembly line.
Bottom line: If you want a car with high handling and high performance potential, I would look for a 1987 Z24!
