1988 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"Runs like a dream machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the engine because the oil pan was wiped out.
Replaced the alternator recently.
Put new muffler on because the hanger rusted off and rusted a hole in the muffler.
Put another transmission solenoid on to get better gas mileage.
Replaced brakes every inspection.
General comments?
I love this car.
It is my first car and I have had it for 2-3 years already and it has been good to me. It runs great now and I am in the process of selling it to get a new car.
I get second looks also when I am riding in my car.
