1994 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"Excellent car for someone looking for inexpensive, self-maintaining, yet fun transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I've had with this car was not a mechanical problem. The paint on the front bumper/ground effect piece was peeled off in two spots. This wasn't very surprising seeing as early-mid nineties plastic didn't bond well with the manufacturers paint. Other than that I haven't had any major problems.
General comments?
Great car for a college student or anyone on a budget.
Low maintenance and if something breaks, finding parts is as easy as it can get.
Proven engine design has few faults, expect to replace a head gasket around 100,000 but that's really the only major mechanical repair common to the 1994 Z24.
