1998 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"I liked her"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At exactly 100k Waterpump died, timing chain went with it. Left window motor died at about 90k, it's a real struggle to replace and is apparently a common problem. Dashboard cracked in the centre top for no apparent reason at like 125k.
These cars are not very well designed, if anything does happen it's hard to work on their engine.
General comments?
Overall though I loved this car. She only gave me the problems listed. Was OK on gas, and could rip most of the cars on the road with it's 150hp. I wish I had gotten a 5spd now, but whatever. Backseats are pretty cramped in the coupe. Trunk is to big they shoulda made more leg room instead.
