1990 Chevrolet Cavalier Z-24 review from North America
"Very good car for a teenager with racing fuel in their veins"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the transmission solenoid at about 140,000 miles. Actually, it needed to be replaced the day that I bought it, but I had no idea that that was the problem. It seems to be the same for all cavaliers.
General comments?
This car is incredibly fast!
I paid $2000 for this little beast and it blew me away how much power it had. Cavaliers aren't supposed to be quick, right? Wrong.
Comfortable interior.
Handles well as long as the front end is properly aligned.
Top speed almost made me pee in my pants. It continued its steady climb past 115 MPH, and then I ran out of room to stop.
