Tank — Old reliable tank, would always get you from point a to point b. had for over 500,000 miles before i got rid of it. Only reason i did that was becouse the radiator gave and a new radiator was worth more than the car. Recommend for a learner car but thats it. Primary Use: Commuting to work Pros: reliable Cons: pos |

Too Bad The Old V6 Z24 Is Gone — Loved it. Suprizingly quick and agile. My friend owned it before me and made a few needed repairs. God have mercy on his soul and anyone else who find themselves under this hood. Its not exactly the friendliest places for a mechanic. The electronics were shotty, you could get by with that except for the speedo was and electronic dash. Despite all that, my friend and I still look back on the Cavalier fondly. I am sad to see her go.... Pros: Fun Cons: dont drop tools in the hood they wont make it to the floor |

Awsome Car — 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. Owner for 2 years, 3 months Miles Driven per Year:10,000 Pros: handling, gas mileage, and power Cons: It is lite in the back end |

Its A Good First Car Or Cheap Car, But Not My First Choice By Far. — 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. |

Fun Little Car — 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. |
