1997 Toyota Cavalier Z review from Australia and New Zealand
"This car is making me wish I didn't need a car EVER"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine light been on ONLY since I bought the car.
Car runs rough, sounds like a tractor.
Is an automatic, but when it changes gear, it kicks back.
Smells terrible!
The gas tank meter is faulty, shows petrol in it when there isn't!
$10 gas gets me about 1 hour driving.
General comments?
Would be an O.K. car if wasn't so bad on petrol.
Labor for this vehicle costs a lot because this model of Toyota is harder to fix than other Toyota (simply because it's a Chevy).
