Review

I bought this car used, with about 35,000 miles on it. I now have about 73,500 mils on it (all done in a little over 18 months). I have had no major mechanical problems and I drive the daylights out of it. (Only fixes are a front wheel bearing, front rotors and fuel pump - onyl rotors weren't on extended warranty). I would recommend this car to anybody wanting a cheap, fun-to-drive, reliable sports coupe. Very good for a first car, or for a college student...

Favorite Features

Engine, Exterior styling, Cheap to buy used - with loads of standard features.

Suggested Improvements

Interior styling and comfort (on long trips).

Great car! All my friends make fun of the car,because they call it a commoner car. They paid over $30000 each for their crappy imports,while I paid less than 25 and my car is going strong. I bought it brand new and have had it for 4 years now and it has over 65000 miles and still going strong.

Favorite Features

I love the exterior styling and no license plate on the front.

Suggested Improvements

More horsepower!

Very fun to drive. The engine is very responsive. Handles and corners very well. No problems mechanically so far. Mileage around 27 mpg.

Favorite Features

Performance and reliability--so far.

Suggested Improvements

Horrible ergonomics on the interior. The steering wheel does not stick out far enough from the dash board. Watch out long-legged people. I wish I had noticed this before I bought the car.

After buying this as a certified car from a GM Dealer it has practically fallen apart. Thank god for the extended warranty we bought. It has covered $500 in electrical work and $680 for replacement of a water pump. Yes, replacing the water pump cost $780 because of the amount of labor it takes to work on the Olds engine stuffed into the engine compartment.

I've had the Z24 since new and have 90,000 miles on it. The only real repair was a front wheel bearing at 70,000 miles. Besides that only normal maintenance costs (fluid changes, tires and brakes) have been required. The car runs like new! I've changed the oil every 4000 miles and changed the tranny fluid every 40000 miles. I wish that I had a good reason to switch cars since I'm kinda getting tired of looking at it! I would consider another GM were it not for their steep depreciation. Makes for a great used car buy!

Favorite Features

Economical to buy and run, 2.4L engine accelerates well but it doesn't like to rev compared to my old probe GT (makes more noise than power at high rpm), automatic tranny is pretty smooth

Suggested Improvements

Make engine more rev happy,

Review

Have owned for 4 years no problem. Still on the 1st set of tires.Avg mileage on long trips over 30 mpg at 70 75 mph. Rides like a much heavier car. Very underrated. Was a bargain fully equipped. Dealer is sensational. Open 7 days a week. M-F till MIDNIGHT!!!

Favorite Features

The styling, the 4 Speed Trans and old fashioned 2.2 OHV. engine.

Suggested Improvements

Put in roll down rear windows in the 2 door. More sound deadening,more upholstery color and fabric choices than "neutral and "graphite"

Review

This is my second Cavalier. My first was a 1998 4-door sedan. I love this car. It has alot of pickup for a 4 cyl engine. Its a cute car that is resonably priced. No major problems with this one or the one I owned before it. No complaints. I have over 70k miles on this car and will probably drive it until the wheels fall off.

Favorite Features

All the extras that are standard features. Also love the pwr sunroof.

Suggested Improvements

A little more imagination as far as the interior goes. They have had the same interior/dash from 95 to present.

Review

This wasn't my first choice for a replacement vehicle, but in retrospec I really enjoy this little car. It has some zip to it. Nicely equipped anti-locks, cd player pw/w/l ect. The front end has a tendency to pitch on curves and handling is only so-so.You feel every bump in the road, but for the money don't expect the handling of a Viper. Great car to just drive with the top down and the music playing. Would I buy it again....yeah I think so.

Favorite Features

Of course the convertible top. The seats are also very comfortable and conform to your body very well. Instrumentation it well placed.

Suggested Improvements

Rain rails. Heavy rains at moderate speeds or moderate rains at highway speeds and the car leaks. Better window rubbers. Wind noise is more than intolerable on the highway.
