1990 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"It's a monster of a FWD vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator blew out at 326,000kms.
CV-joints failed at 345,000kms.
General comments?
The car (1990 cavalier Z24 3.1L V6) is a beast of a sport compact. It has many cars on it's hit-list:
1991 Eagle Talon turbo
Probe GT
Asuna Sunfire RS, GT
1984 Toyota tercel (was joking around when racing a friend of mine.)
I have never lost to a Honda save an S2000
Never lost to a Nissan save 350zs (I've only ever beaten one, she stalled at the beginning.
The car handles as if it were glued to the ground, surprisingly little tire squeal at 75+ Kmh, once the wider tires were put on, and the 3.8L installed (buick engine) it's been my dream car.
