1998 Chevrolet Cavalier Z22 2.2 from North America
Faults:
What I can say about my Cavalier, is that man, it's a real cheap car on parts, but it's constantly falling apart.
I've just replaced the transmission when it was at 250,000 km, and the motor is still stock.
Besides the stock motor, the rest of the car has virtually been replaced. My mom bought it brand new, and I know she beat that thing black and blue, and well when I got it, I beat it bloody; races and drifts, burnouts and drags, as well as off roading. Yeah, that's right, off roading. I did it all.
I still cannot believe that after all we put that thing through, the motor still works. All I can say is wow, I hate this car, but man it just won't die.
General Comments:
Ever buy a throw away flashlight from the dollar store? Well that's what this car reminds me of; a dollar store throw away piece of crap with a diamond under the hood.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Yes, you are correct about these cars being very reliable and cheap. The only thing you have to do is normal maintenance. Transmission flushes every 45 thousand miles, oil changes every 3 thousand, coolant flush every 60 thousand, power steering and brake system flushes every 100 thousand.
