1996 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 2.4 litre from North America

Summary:

Great little package of muscle

Faults:

Well I have to replace the uv joints soon, then I have to replace the trans mount, but that's after 90000 miles so it is a very dependable car. It is really fast for a 4 banger, it will waste a 5.0. and mine can beat any other cavalier it will come up to. mine is stock with about 200 horses, but that's after I replaced the front end, cuz I crashed it, oops.

General Comments:

I love this car and I will beat any other cavalier so don't even pull up to me and try to race me cuz I will beat you.

Something tells me that this review is not as factual as it should be, lol.

1996 Chevrolet Cavalier 2.2 Liter from North America

Summary:

A great car for daily transportation with ok gas mileage

Faults:

The fuse for my left rear blinker was always shorting out.

Like most Cavaliers, my biggest problem was that the starter went dead around 117000 miles.

My A/C never truly performed well either.

General Comments:

Overall it was a good car, but nothing to really write home about.

It performed when it needed to, but did not accelerate quickly by any means.

1996 Chevrolet Cavalier from North America

Summary:

An amazing little car for it's price

Faults:

My back breaks tend to lock up when the weather is cold.

ABS light is stuck on.

Headlights started to go dim.

General Comments:

This car is amazing to me, I can drive it long distances and not be scared of something going wrong. I have put a performance muffler on it and it really makes the 2.2 liter engine sound powerfull. I also never have problems getting up hills, or cruising down the highway.

Plus my Cavalier is sporty, it's truly a great first car or if you don't have a lot of money to spend on a car.

1996 Chevrolet Cavalier Base 2.2L 4 cylinder from North America

Summary:

Great gas mileage for a great price

Faults:

Nothing at all.

General Comments:

First of all I am doing this review for my brother. This is a great car we haven't had a single problem out of it the only thing we have done is change the oil. It gets great gas mileage. It has amazing performance and is a very fast car to be so small. Don't tell anyone, but my brother has been up to 90 mph passing someone and it only has a 4 cylinder engine so that is pretty good I think. Sadly on January 24, 2003 the roads were slick and my brother was going to work. He hit a slick spot in the road, spun around in the road hit a fire hydrant and bent it over. Then spun around again and hit a telephone pole and snapped it in two. Then the telephone pole landed on top of his car and shattered the rear window and side back window and cracked the windshield. Sadly enough the car was totaled, but my brother wasn't hurt. But in the end the most amazing thing was the car still started. This is a great car to still start after it was completely totaled. In the end I say it was a great car for a great price.

I am glad to hear that your brother is OK, but do you know why the car started up after that? It's American. An American car you can run through a brick wall and it will keep going.

Amen to that Brother!
