I bought my car with original 56k miles. I have added z24 rims off of a 88 z24 cavalier. I
have put Dayton SR tires also I have had a new muffler so I sounds like it has a v8 in it. I
have added vent shades and had the windows tinted. It almost handles like my porshe
Carrera. I am pushing about 140 hp with the original engine. It just turned 75k miles and
is still running fine.

Pros — handling, gas mileage, and power
Cons — It is lite in the back end

It was my first car, and I had a station wagon model. She started, no matter what. She was really light in the back end, however. As I live in northern Wisconsin, that was a problem once the snow started flying. The fact that both the previous owner and I drove it hard and drove it for several years speaks to its reliability.

Pros — Reliable, cheap, gas efficient.
Cons — Ugly, narrow, drove like a wagon.

Considering I had over 200k miles on my Z24, I can't complain too much.  Fun little car with decent pep as long as you get the Z24 model.

Pros — V6 was peppy, decent gas mileage.
Cons — Not the best looking of cars, but good looking enough.
