"A fast car for cheap money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have not had many problems at all with my car. The ABS makes a funny noise at times, like a springing noise.

My power window on the driver side sometimes will not go up, but always will go down. I took the door panel off and looked at it and could not find anything wrong with it.

The transmission sometimes is slow to response, but not bad at all. When I accelerate, it changes a lot slower than it does when normal driving take off.

I don't like the fact that they made the z24 sign the same color as the car. They should have made it more noticeable.

General comments?

I would recommend this car to anybody who likes performance. It is fast for stock, very sporty looking, and reliable. I would rather have this car than any other domestic compact. I've beaten other import cars like celica, civic, and diamante.

Regarding the power window problem. I had the same problem with my 4dr z24. It was actually just the swith.

I have a 99 californian special so it has the 2.4 in it and its really fast. but now the transmission slips when turning left even on to an on-ramp.

I can keep the amount of slippage down if I keep the fluid level full.

Great first car. everything works.

It doesn't matter if the whole world can see your Z24 sign. It's a Cavalier and no one is impressed. Also don't put a fart pipe on it or anything like that, the noise sounds terrible and only makes people laugh.

Can someone please explain to me what's what? the engine in the Z24 vs. the standard cavalier, and the 2.4 in my california car (not sold anywhere else)?

Mine doesn't have any markings on it, but it has a 2.4 does the Z24 have a 2.2 or 2.4?

Z24 Cavaliers came with the 2.4l engine, some base models were also equipped with this engine.
