1999 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"A real high performer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Currently, I am in the process of getting a new water pump, brakes, and thermostat. Although it sounds like a lot, I have had this car, going on, five years and this is one of the first major purchases I have had to dish out. On the other hand, I wish I would have acquired an additional warranty.
One thing I will say is that the dashboard being made of plastic has already cracked right smack in the middle. I can also notice this is happening on the right door (inside) from wear and tear.
General comments?
I have been very pleased with my Cavalier. I have over 40000 miles on it and I have only replaced one strut and, of course, tires. I am really impressed with the mileage it gets. I only have to fill the tank twice a month. I have been told the front seats also fit your back really well.
