1989 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"A must have for all young guys"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I hydro-planed into a curb, and I'm now replacing pretty much all of the the left front suspension and steering equipment. However the car is so very worth it! Other than that, no problems, though it did need a tune up when I got it.
General comments?
I just downgraded from a super charged 5.0 Thunderbird, all because I liked the styling of the Cavalier Z 24 (I also got beat by one after a long day of dragging once, but I don't tell anybody about that), and the power that I found in this car awed me. I would have never believed that you could pack so much punch in such a small engine if I hadn't experienced it firsthand. And the intakes are actually functional, unlike the intakes on the mustangs!!! Everyone that doesn't own one is truly missing out.
