bought this car for almost nothing,
it looks almost new.. except for a little tear or two in the roof (not leaking)
drives ok.. but since its got a good 400,000Km's on it already.. Im surprised
it runs
BUT it runs.. and pretty damn good too!
I'd never accuse the cavalier of being a fast sports car.. its not.. too
underpowered for a V6 (torquey enough) but dropping the roof provides a
comfortable drive

People laughed when I staged in my
1992 Z24, but it was a real blast to
totally beat them off the line. I
purchased it used from an uncle,
who never had any problems with it
and performed all regular
maintenance himself. This car is fun
to ride, and its like my miniature
sports car... I'll keep dreaming. Its
great on the highways (no problems
merging or passing, around 27MPG)
and idles nice in traffic. The engine
sound is a great bonus; you don't
expect it from this little car.

Bought this car new in college in
1991. Have done almost all the
maintainance myself, mainly oil,
filters and brakes. Always use a good
synthetic oil and good filter. KN air
filter and always replaced parts with
ones that have lifetime warranty's.
Have replaced alternator, tensioner,
power steering pump, hoses, heater core
x 2, radiator, plugs and wires. The
thing just keeps running and with
223,000 miles on it, I could see it
easily going for another 100,000-
150,000. If you don't care to look
great going to work, it will get you
there just as good as a new vehicle.
Very easy to work on also.

The car was in the family since 94 and
has been reliable for us the entire
time. The 3.1 V6 is a powerful engine
for this class of car. It
has 140K and the only major problems
were an alterator and a power steering
unit replacement. The only trouble im
having with it now is a transmission
fluid leak but it still shifts
flawlessly. The interior has a few
broken pieces as well. Also ther is
some surface rust showing up. I
definitely recommend this car for
those who like a dependable car with
lots of people/cargo room. Also, try
to find one with a V6.
