1990 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"Cheap sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Expected minor maintenance on a 12 year old car such as:
Struts, brake pads, air conditioning hose off the compressor, belts, and windshield fluid motor.
These were all changed after I bought the car at 199000 km.
General comments?
This car is in excellent running condition for its age and still looks very sharp with minimal surface rust on the inside of the doors at the bottom.
Basically, all I had to do was tint the windows and slap a few stickers on her to make it look good!
It is a very good car for gas mileage.
I can get close to 400 km to one tank of gas on an automatic transmission.
The inside is comfortable compared to todays cars that it feels like your sitting on rock.
The only thing that is a slight turn off is the dash, it still looks like its from the 80's.
