1989 Chevrolet Cavalier Z-24 review from North America

"This is an awesome car that has lasted for a VERY long time with relatively no problems"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Torque converter switch had to be replaced by the dealer when I first bought the vehicle.

Alternator died after pushing it quite.

Hard with a powerful stereo system.

Heater core went simply due to age.

Air conditioner no longer works, but I think it's just a matter of recharging the system.

General comments?

The look of this car is what caught my eye initially on the dealer's lot.

One test drive and I was sold on it's speed and handling abilities.

I was looking for a decent car that would reliable drive my back and forth about 100 miles to college 2-3 times a week. This task was accomplished easily for 3 years. It even made it to Florida (2000+ miles) several times.

Because of my work, I have been required to buy a more practical vehicle for carrying equipment, but I have kept the Z24 as a "summer vehicle".

With a custom paint job, and not much else, this vehicle still turns heads everywhere it goes.

Although I must admit that the car is getting a bit old and more parts are likely to need replacing, this is still a fun car to drive and would buy another just like it if they were still making them.
