1999 Chevrolet Cavalier 2 Dr Z24 Convertible Review
ProsI love everything except the fact that i dont drive it nearly enough. ConsMaintenance is a little much, but the vehicle is almost 13 years old. What would you expect?

Quick, Zippy, And Fun! — I've owned the Z24 for 16 months, and I have simply fell in love with it. Forget A to B, I've put over 35,000 miles on my baby since i bought it. It's quick to start, quick to stop, and it's been nothing but reliable. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Makes A Good First Vehicle, But By Now Farily Outdated In Todays Market. — Performance of this vehicle over the several years that I have owned it has been commendable in the fact that it still runs adequately. The acceleration of the vehicle leaves something to be desired however the braking and handling was quite surprising. Given the type of vehicle it is and its intended purpose I don't think it could be faulted to much. I have only recently had to deal with repairs outside of regular maintenance so I would rate the build quality as being good. Though the Cavalier does not have an eye catching appearance it isn't the worst looking car on the road. The fact that it is also easy enough to augment with several available body kits on the market. It has thus far been an easy vehicle to maintain. Being my vehicle for everyday commuting to work and errands it would cost me in the area of $25 to fill up every 2 weeks. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

Alternative Entry-level Tuner Car For Novices. It's Either This, A Civic Or Neon. — A Mexican built econo-box with a solid rear axle and rear drum brakes is not going to break any lap time records at Laguna Seca, but with a few modifications at least you can make it LOOK fast. With a mildly torque-y 2.4 litre Twin-Cam 4 cylinder mated to an Isuzu built 5 speed grind-box in my Z24 at least you can grind 3rd gear to rid yourself of frustration (or make it worse). With likely the biggest aftermarket, save for Honda Civics, in the gaudy "ricer" arena, you can pimp out your daily Chevy soap-box to impress all the high school girls. The guys in the Subaru WRX STi down the street will laugh at you, but who cares? The interior in my Z24 came with this neat red-speckled fabric and dark charcoal paneling. I removed the back seats and decided that space was better suited for sub woofers, not nagging back seat drivers. Despite the general lack of respect of this little Chevy in the tuning world, it's mostly a hassle-free, low-revving daily that is moderately fun to drive once you throw a set of strut-bars in and lower it.

A Good Solid Car For Everyone! — A good basic car! Lots of room to add things to it. Solid and dependable.I just wanted a larger simple fuel efficient basic car which was not like a coffin like my last car the Firefly sedan. I wanted a car which would survive a crash and not kill me.It's only cost us a thousand at most in repairs to keep it going since we bought it. A great car for a socialist like me or a teenager wanting to rev it up and give it some speed. | ||

ProsQuick to accelerate, brake, and corner. ConsJust not quick enough for me, and bda safety ratings. :(

Best Car I Have Owned To Date. :) — Quick! Similar class: Honda Civic/Integra (Acura), Volkswagon Golf, Mazda 3/6. Nissan Stanza/Sentra. I gots Dragon Cold Air, Zigen Exhaust, Uncivil Body Kit Red break pads for an extra 10hp! :) And neon green decals for another 5 hp! :P My 3rd and final cavalier, due to the fact that the 99' is the best year for the z24. LOL :P | ||

ProsComfortable, good ride, few problems. Mechanicals seem is good shape despite age. ConsBiggest issue is that it's getting old and starting to get worn out in some places. Paint is wearing off, some plastic parts are coming loose.

Reliable — Good car that gives us few problems. Always starts, runs well, is in the shop every 3-6 months for an oil change and usually something needs fixing (i.e. brakes or flat tire), but I'm stacking up the miles (500 per week). Would like something newer but if it ain't broke... Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||
