1990 Chevrolet Cavalier Z-24 3.1L MPFI V6
Summary:
This is an underestimated sleeper vehicle
Faults:
Mainly regular service items such as tires, brakes, battery, alternator, shocks, springs, and struts had to be replaced. I have also had to replace the catalytic converter, valve cover gasket, and air conditioning evaporator and drier.
General Comments:
This vehicle has proven to be worth much more than I paid for it 13 years ago. I have never had a problem with any major parts of the car. It still runs as if it was new and I plan to drive it into the ground-however long that takes.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1. It can't keep up with 5.0 liter Mustangs... I had both and the Mustangs are much faster!
2. It has a V-6 in it!!
I had a '90 Z-24 and it was the most reliable car I have ever owned. I had no problems what so ever with it and I drove it hard trying to beat my cousins 5.0 liter Mustang every chance I got. I had already had a Mustang 5.0 before this car and I had another one right after it so I know from much experience that the Z-24 will NOT beat the Mustang (even with a 2.73 axle in it). It is a fun car though and I really enjoyed it. mine was a 5-speed as well so it was as fast as it could be... Keep dreaming though!!
