  • The Best Car Ever Is A Cavalier Z24 Conv - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier

    The Cavalier Z24 is the best car for the money I have experienced no problems and everyone who says it is bad probably were not taking care of the car or they are bad to their cars all together. The five speed manual transmission is very fast and has great sound. Even with the convertible top down still has a quiet ride. The 2.4L twin cam engine is fast and is great for tuning for an American "Fast And Furiouse" car.

  • Great Car, had some problems, but its OK - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier

    Well, this would be my first car that I ever bought for myself. It runs great and as long as you do some INTELLIGENT maintainence, you wont have any problems like other people have with this type of car. Right now, the only problems I have popping up is the tension arm on the serpentine belt is making noise and the seals on top of the engine are oozing oil. But theyre easily fixed. People need to have some sense about cars if theyre going to buy one. If you dont know anything about cars, you shouldnt own one.

  • Watch out for the exploding windows - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier
    By -

    This has got to be the worst possible car ever. Ive had the drivers window and the rear window explode so far. No one was around - nothing hit the windows. Just exploded while I was driving. The coolant light comes on everytime I make a sharp left hand turn. My windows leak like crazy whenever it rains. Ive had it into the dealership 3 times regarding this matter. They told me to roll the window up first then shut the door to help it seal - still doesnt help.I could tell you for hours the things that are wrong. This is just some of the big stuff. Only some of it-I havent even got started.

    I bought this car used and drive it 150 miles round trip everyday and it has not gave me any trouble(knock on wood). Hardly uses oil and gets about 33mpg. I have 130000 miles on it and it just keeps going. I plan on driving it till she wont drive no more.

  • Friends dont let friends drive Cavaliers - 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier

    I have had my car for a little over a year, and I hate it. It looks good, but the transmission and clutch dont work well together. This is the only car I ever had that I wish was an automatic. The seats and other interier bits are cheap and wearing too fast. It doesnt handle very well, and it has far too many rattles and squeaks. I wish I would have spent more money on a better car.
