Trouble
i just bought this car with 71,000 miles and it's already giving me problems. i took it back to the dealer 3 times to get it repaired because it overheats all the time. the car has no power whatsoever. one good thing about it is the gas mileage, thats awesome because i have a long commute to school every day.
Happens all at once
My car has been fine no big problems. I had to have brakes and the air went out. I keep smelling gas so if everything starts to happen then the car is falling apart. Before the gas smell the car was great.
I love this car!
Bought the car brand new, with 15 miles on it. After 114,856 miles.. it still purrs. Haven't had a lick of trouble. Just normal wear & tear. I love my car and would recommend it to everyone.
I love the Z24
This car is great, even thought i bought it used, it still is a great car.
Cavy
My Cav had a number of computer problems that caused the "check engine" light to come on frequently even if nothing was wrong--at least that's what the dealer said. They could never find anything wrong when I took it to them. The interior is plastic and looks very cheap. Yet, the controls are close to your fingertips and easy to use. This isn't a good car for an inexperienced driver, although I see them driving them all-to-frequently. The cars performance in the crash test left me wanting.
