"Fun car, expensive parts"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I bought the car for $1500 in June of 2000.

In October/November, the ignition module and crank sensor went out.

In December, the ignition coil went out.

I have spent $1400 to repair the car. Also, the glove compartment lock spring is broken.

General comments?

I like the performance, styling, and comfort of this car. However, replacing parts is not cheap since it was only made for 4 years. I think it would do Chevrolet some good to redesign this car and remake it with the Cavalier's 2.4L Z24 4-cylinder engine. A definite competitor to the sporty Honda Civic and Toyota Celica.

That is so true, I have a 91 GSi and I smoke Civics, but that is so true.

Yea, I'll have to agree on that one. I have a 93' Storm and I can keep up with my friends 00'Neon and I blow away some civics. That idea to put the cavalier 2.4L Z24 under the hood of a Storm would be awesome!

There is no crank sensor on this car. Are you sure it wasn't the cam pick-up coil they replaced (in the distributor)? That should have been really cheap to do. It cost $12 at autozone and I just had to take apart the distributor to do it.
