1994 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 Convertible review from North America
"A lot of fun for a low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Routine maintenance items, but never had anything seriously go wrong with it.
General comments?
This is what I would say to anybody buying one of these... don't ride with the top down when it's 60 degrees or you WILL get sick, get used to a little windburn and girls complaining about their hair, and get sunglasses to keep the wind from blowing dirt in your eyes. The engine runs very nicely, and the car is on the quick side. It won't run any faster than 110 MPH because it is redline limited. Engine thinks it's a V8, it emits a very low pitched hum at 1500 rpm which sounds impressive for a six cylinder. Mash the throttle, and the engine converts gas into noise at an alarming rate though, so be easy with the throttle or you'll be filling it up more than usual. Car is pretty light, so if you need to do a hard acceleration from a stand still for any reason, be conservative with the throttle or the front tires will spin furiously.
