1989 Chevrolet Cavalier Z 24 review from North America
"Runs with the best of them."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At about 150,000 miles I had to replace the starter, the thermostat, and the throw out barring,pressure plate, and clutch which come in a kit.
General comments?
My car has great acceleration which being a five-speed helps a lot. The interior is in great shape. 50 series tires front and back make for outstanding handling. But I think first gear is to low for quick take offs because the shifting time is to soon and that knocks off about a sec.
