1988 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"Slick ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The clutch went when I first got the car.
Heating core went not long after that.
Brakes were very worn.
Lots of rust in the wheel wells.
General comments?
This car has amazing pick-up and loves be out on the open road.
I must say, Cavaliers are a beautiful car to drive.
The only frustrations I have had thus far, are changing the spark plugs. The rear cables/plugs are in a very difficult place to reach and get a ratchet into.
