1989 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America

"The best car on the street in my town!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Had to change out the front struts.

Change the rear shocks.

Repair air conditioning.

Drop fuel tank and replace sending unit.

Repair exhausts leaks.

Replace rack and pinion.

Change tires.

Replace window switch.

Replace brakes.

Change radiator.

My brother owned the car before I did. He would push the gas pedal to the floor at every light, burning any other vehicle sitting beside of us. After about two years, the engine finally gave up. He threw a piston rod through the block. It sat in the parking spot at our house until I got my license. My father and I dropped a gently used 2.8L engine into the car. It was alive again and it was mine.

Haven't had any trouble with the new engine.

General comments?

The car will seriously get up and move. My father and I went to a nearby track and drag-raced it against some other cars. We made fifth place out of twenty-five. He was so proud of me and I was proud of the car.

Put a 1500 watt max stereo into the car, including: a amp, two subs, and a new head unit.

Named the car "Kirby" after a good friend of mine that pasted away.

I fell in love with the car as soon as I saw it. But my brother was the one to buy it, so I should thank him for the awesome car.

Light car, powerful engine: good combination.

Great handling, speed, acceleration, and comfort.

Love to drive my car all day!
