1997 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"Decent first car, but can't wait for my second"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There have been about 4 recalls on the car since I purchased it 4 years ago.
The passenger power window is non-responsive at times, though it seems to have fixed itself.
The interior isn't really aesthetically appealing, but it's not offensive either.
The brakes "hiccup" the first few minutes after a rainstorm. Very dangerous.
Back seats aren't meant for anyone of average adult height or taller.
General comments?
I'm always more impressed with the power after filling it up with 93 octane. The car literally flies.
Handling is better than average.
The power moon-roof seems to allow much more space.
