1989 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"Excellent, reliable first sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump & fuel pump went out same week!
Replaced exhaust/muffler.
Replaced alternator.
Replaced thermostat.
General comments?
This was a great sporty little car.
Plush interior that wore well.
Car handled great and cornered like a true sports car!
The throaty sound of the muffler would even turn heads!
Was great in the snow and had good gas mileage.
I wanted a Z24 for years when the "new" body style came out (silver ground effects). I finally got it in 1993. Very inexpensive ($8000) and looked good.
I only had this car for 2 years because I was young and stupid and would buy cars and get tired of them, then trade them in on something better. I traded this one in on a 1992 25th Anniversary Edition Camaro RS.
I still miss it!
