2000 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"Get what you pay for.. Cheap thrils!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
29000 miles " Theft " light came on and stranded me twice. Was a bad ignition switch. covered under warranty. No reverse lights now.. bad "reverse switch " on transmission (I will fix soon)
General comments?
This car has surprised many people. I can smoke many V6 cars because the Z24 is fairly light and has a great torque curve (powerful engine). Get the 2.4 liter 150 hp if you want great performance period) Its nice do drive a pretty quick car that you don't have to rev up to 6000 rpm just to get power-as you do with Jap cars front seats get Real old quick.. not firm enough. Handles well enough, but not a real sports car.
I drive 72 miles per day and get between 28-36 MPG! 34 avg..that's great!
Dash rattles.. turn up the stereo!
