2000 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America

2 weeks after I got it, the front left strut bearing went, lots of grinding and clunking. Replaced under warranty.

After 2 months of owning the car, a loud ticking emerged in the engine. The faster the engine, the faster the clicking. It was a broken bearing bouncing around in a cylinder. They replaced that bearing, as well was the other 3, new water pump and oil pump while they were in there. The list of things they did for me was extensive; roughly 30 items, amounting to over $4200. Ack! All under warranty though, great customer service.

After that week and a half in the shop, I was glad to get her back, but that was 3 weeks ago and now we have to take a trip back. I was simply backing into the driveway yesterday and the power steering failed. It hasn't been diagnosed (i'll take it in today), but other reviews I've read have noted power steering pump issues. I hit 50,000 clicks 6 days ago... warranty is up: (I'm gonna fight for a free fix though, this is getting ridiculous.

It's a beauty car to look at, silver, sunroof, hot car, power everything. I learned standard just so I could own this car and it's a blast to jump up to high speeds in no time, but the seats don't accommodate quick cornering very well at all.
