1996 Chevrolet Cavalier Z2.4 2.4 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
A stylish bargain
Faults:
At 100,00 miles the lower control arm bushes and ball joints were replaced which is reasonable on a car at this mileage. The air con pump squeals at idle sometimes.The sound disappears on revving the engine or turning the A/C on. Nothing else except a couple of bulbs.
General Comments:
I change the oil every 3000 miles and use synthetic. I give the car a fairly hard life, but it can take it. Parts are easy to get even in the U. K It looks good. It shifts and it handles well, not up to a BMW, but only half the price. Speed limiter is annoying. Under steer frightening if you thrash it.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

These cars do fairly well for the most part as long as they are maintained. I do, however, question why you don't classify the listed problems as "problems" in your sentence summary for the car. $1500 is considerable.
