2000 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"A quick, sharp-looking, well-priced automobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both rear struts broke (replaced under warranty). I think one of the front struts is going as well.
General comments?
I was dismayed at the dash rattle. It's more pronounced in cold weather.
It is pretty quick for the money.
Wind noise can be tiring over prolonged distances.
A quality air filter (i.e. K&N) and good oil has a significant impact on the fuel mileage.
I've driven it across the country (Canada & US) a couple times and have no complaints as to the comfort of the seats.
The car starts in -40 degree weather and has made it through the rockies in the winter on more than one occasion.
