"Great car for show and racing, but that's it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Extreme power and the engine purrs like a kitten!

Wonderful gas mileage!

Horrible crash performance!

Headliner comes down easily and is a pain to fix.

General comments?

I was involved in a severe accident in my Cavalier a few months ago and was extremely disappointed in its overall crash performance. The car literally caved in and I was trapped in the drivers side by the caving in of the passenger side. Please do not purchase this car if you have children or value your life. It's a fun car to drive, but not one you want to have as an everyday vehicle.

I have to disagree, I had a 1990 Cavalier Z24 and was hit from behind at a stop light. The lady was going about 50 mph when she hit me. The car itself was totaled, but it did what it was designed to do. Folded leaving just the cab intact! Myself and my 5 and 6 year old childern got out without any serious injuries. The insurance adjuster said that the design of the car is what saved us, compaired to the new redesigned models my year make saved us from potential harm. These cars were made of mostly steel unlike the "new" one which are composed of mostly plastic and aluminium. So I would and now do own and exact year make and model of this same car! This has been the best car I have ever owned!
