"Great bargain!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rear struts.

Strut mounts.

Steering rack.

Stereo.

General comments?

I bought the car as a left-over 1997 model in the summer of 1998. Upon buying the car, I drove it across Canada (literally East to West), and over the 6 days I found it to be a comfortable, reliable vehicle with OK performance.

Its fuel economy might have been a little high, however the engine was new and not yet broken in, and I understand this to be acceptable.

Overall, I enjoy the car and would recommend the Cavalier to anyone who seeks efficiency, a sporty look, comfort and a nice price tag.

No offence but it's Z24, not 22.

The z22 is a decal package in Canada. It is just a sticker and a spoiler.

There is a difference between a Standard Cavalier, Z22 and a Z24 for the '97 model. '97 Cavalier had a 2L, Z22 a 2.2L and a Z24 had a 2.4L that's besides several other extras...

I can also say that I have a Z22. I have a 1997 Cavalier RS/Z22. It came from the Factory with White Racing Stripes, a Spoiler, and Mangels Custom Wheels. I absolutely love the way it looks. It also says "Beaucage" on the Z22 Sticker, What does it mean? or what company is it?
