1999 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"Good Bang For Your Buck!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Upper bearing plate rattles sounds like the front end is falling apart not bad only 180.00 to fix.
High beam headlights do not work at all apparently it's a possible recall issue I'm dealing with the dealership to fix this safety issue.
Seatbelt squeek very little cheap home remedy fixed that.
Oh ya and the dash piece in the front had split right up the center apparently due to heat. I hear this is common.
General comments?
This car is a little rocket with 150 ponies, It's a big bang for your buck.
It's not the most comfortable car with the sport suspension, but you can't have it all.
All in all it's faster than a civic it really gets the ladies attention when cleaned up, and for under $7000 who can complain.
