1998 Toyota Cavalier 2.4G review from Australia and New Zealand
"A very good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the window winder motor at 20000km.
General comments?
Overall, this car has been very reliable and hasn't cost me much at all.
It is very economical for the size of the motor, and also the performance is amazing. It can keep up with Subaru WRX's, yet it cuts out at 175km/h, which is the downside.
I travel over 1000km a week sometimes, and for the amount of k's I have clocked up, even I'm surprised nothing major has popped up. Even after what I have heard.
The only thing that I don't like about it, is that there is some serious body roll when you try to take a corner too fast.
