I love my car, it's really a Ferrari cleverly disguised as a toyota. It's red and goes faster. There's nothing I really dislike about my car except the dodgy petrol gauge so some times I run out of gas............ooops. I've read lots of bad reveiws about it but I can safely say it's given me no problems and I've not had to spend any money on it.

Pros: It's mine
Cons: It's always dirty.

Great acceleration for a Cavy (Twin Cam 2.4L), Also very very reliable. Have almost 173,00 miles--no leaks or major problems at all.On the downside though, t tops out at 105 mph. However I'm very tal (6'2") and its pretty tight inside. Overall pretty fun car to drive and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. This car has carried me for the past 2.5 years with no problems, and now I'm in college and I can drive it anywhere with no worries.

Pros: acceleration, reliability
Cons: small inerior space, squeaks/rattles a bit, medicore brakes, uncomfortable seats.

The cavalier z24 is a great car. It handles realy well, and stops on a dime. You can redline it all day and barely go through a tank of gas a week. they have alot of potential with performance, As I have found this out.  

Pros: The faces on mustangs and hondas when u smoke then.
Cons: still get smoked by a vette

car structure is ok, takes turns like a tank, terrible body roll.  the motor lasts 100k.  if you buy one, put a 2.2 in it.. a head gasket is cheaper than new rod bearings.
disposible car

Pros: good power, looks sharp
Cons: junk motor, bad handling, bad braking, terrible body roll, chicks dont dig broken cars.

it's nice and runs fast, it would have been better if they included a turbo charge on a Z24

Bought the car used in 2002 with 56,000 miles on it. I've only had to replace normal wear and tear parts other than the coil pack a year ago and the oil pressure switch 2 years ago.
