1994 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"Get one with decent miles, quick, looks great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump blew, needed to install a rebuilt one, $80.
Starter went out, $315 for a new one.
Needed a new battery and alternator, around $200-250.
Not good gas mileage at all, maybe I need a new part, I get around 15 miles per gallon, sometimes 10 or 11.
Front sway bar has broken, I still need to fix that, it makes a clunking noise.
General comments?
Very good looking car for the money. I love my car, it just has too many miles for a car made in America. I wish it only had 15,000.
I am pretty tall, I am glad I don't have to sit in the back seat. It is tiny. Very comfortable ride, kind of bumpy.
It is pretty light for it's engine, pretty quick too, it can keep up with a lot of cars. It could handle better.
I wish it was more reliable. But it has been a pretty good car, nothing over a couple hundred bucks to fix it, and I got a good deal on the car.
