Steering went weird. Had to get an alignment at 80000 km.
Dash makes squeaking noise when accelerating.
When I release the clutch and the car is in neutral it makes a loud tapping noise.
When I drive for about 10 minutes then stop and I release the brakes, they make a really loud clicking noise.
Very dependable car. Cheap to fix, but needs a lot to fix. I love the acceleration. With 150 horses it burns up the streets. Definitrly faster then the Jetta 1.8T as well as a Mazda Miata. I would definitely buy another one, too bad they don't make them like they used too.
I agree with the comment on how its "too bad they don't make them like they use to" referring to the z24 model. I have a 1991 z24 and a 1999 z24. I love the cars, but my `91 just has so much personality that the `99 just doesn't offer. The side effects diminished, the 6 cylinder 3.1 engine morphed into a 4 cylinder 2.2. It lost a some speed and a lot of character. Not to mention the cool (and working!) hood scoops. Granted, you can go buy a new one to fit your cavalier (as I am doing), but, really now, who can afford to buy a $400 or $500 hood? I know I've been saving for a couple months. But, the new z24's do seem to have less problems. My `91 is rotting near the rear suspension, is broken where the motor mount attaches to the car (yeah, a chunk of the car actually broke off) and a lot of the older ones are having problems with the automatic windows. But, the newer ones are significantly better on gas. But, I'm so hesitant to give up my `91 because it is a 5 speed, and that's RARE as heck in older z24s. Don't know why...
