Faults:

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.

Faults:

Both front C.V. Shafts need to be replaced, but are still functional.

Both front ball joints need to be replaced.

Sunroof leaks and has ruined the headliner, but I fixed it with Orange Engine Caulk.

Floorboard leaks on the driver side.

Power window switch is ruined from sunroof leaking on it.

Blinker switch broke.

Cruise control no longer works.

Needs new clutch.

Catalytic converter is making funny sounds.

Horn no longer works.

Passenger window screeches when you roll it down.

There is some body rust, but that is to be expected after 15 winters in South Dakota and Minnesota.

General Comments:

This car waxed a 1999 Ford Mustang GT the other day.

Seats are extremely comfortable.

The body rattles a lot with a bumping system in the back.

Faults:

Since owning the car since July2004 I've had to replace the upper radiator hose.

The front brakes and rotors only for wear and tear.

I noticed the fan was turning on so I had to run some wires and put it on a switch next to my steering wheel.

The muffler had to be replaced due to the fact it had a hole in it.

General Comments:

I bought this car from a guy who had a 305 underneath the hood, for racing, but went and put the 2.6L back in it after he blew the 305 up. He said it didn't have enough power for him.

Car now has over 313000 miles on it, but new engine only has about 6000 miles on it.

Car still looks great with no rusted out sections of the paint and can still turn heads with the factory paint job.

I put a V-Force muffler on it after finding out the stock muffler had a whole in it and now the car sounds like I have a V-8 in it.

I no longer get harassed by any of the angry bumblebee imports and now even the American muscle cars are starting to get scared.

I love the feel and the sound of the car and would never get rid of this magnificent Z24.

Faults:

My intake manifold gasket had to be replaced at 90,000 kilometers.

The alternator was replaced at 145,000 kilometers.

The speedometer was replaced at 69,000 kilometers.

Tires went at 50,000 kilometers and I replaced with Michelin XHC4 tires which were tremendous as far as grip and durability.

General Comments:

My Cavalier was a base model station wagon ordered from the factory with the 2.8 liter V6 engine, automatic transmission, air conditioning and heavy duty/performance suspension which included 195/70-14 B.F. Goodrich TA tires, anti roll bars and heavy duty gas shocks.

The car was a quick, agile car that surprised many a sports car with both it's handling ability and acceleration.

When you hit the gas the car would lunge forward. Cornering was excellent, although the ride was hard.

We kept it for 14 years and it was still running fine. The reason we got rid of it was because the body was badly rusted.

The car was maintained well, suffered hard, family use and was one of the best cars I've ever had.

Very reliable, capable and cheap. A little over $12,000 (Can.) dollars when I bought it new. One of the best car bargains I ever had.

It was not perfect though, we had the base interior and the front seats were very uncomfortable for my 6 foot 3 inch frame. I bought a fairly expensive ($60), portable seat cushion that made a big difference.

I should of ordered the optional Rally Sport interior which offered much better seats and a gauge package.

Other than that a great car.
