Strength:
GREAT PICKUP-- DUSTED THE DOORS OFF FRIENDS HONDA! LOOKS GREAT BLACK WITH VERY DARK TINTED WINDOWS AND BLACKOUT HEAD AND TAIL LIGHTS- WILL HANG A CURVE VERY WELL!!
Weakness:
ANTI LOCK BRAKES ARE WAY TOO TOUCHY COPS ARE HIGHLY ATTRACTED TO Z24s! THE INTERIOR IS RATHER CHEAPLY MADE. AND THE ANTENNA HAS TO BE SCREWED BACK ON TIGHT ABOUT 20 MINUTES!! THE ONE WOD TO EXPAIN THE CAVY IS SWEET- I REALLY PRETTY MUCH LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT-- IT IS FUN TO DRIVE AND DEFINITLEY TURNS HEADS. DECENT SPEED FOR SUCH A CHEAPLY PRICED CAR!! Similar Products Used: 95 MUSTANG-- HAS ABOUT THE SAME ACCELERATION IF NOT BETTER |

Cavalier
Strength:
High car value to price ratio.
Weakness:
Poor quality interior materials. The seats are especially on the cheap side. Lowest fuel economy against direct competitors(focus, neon, civic, corolla) It''s a car nothing more, nothing less. The easy entry passenger seating switch broke in the first month but that was repaired and nothing else has gone wrong since. Can''t beat GM low finance rates and Motors Insurance combo. GM''s Motors insurance cut my rates by more than $50 a month. Similar Products Used: 87 honda civic CRX(it will not die) |

Strength:
I have 196,000 miles on this car and it still runs great. I never thought I would pay off a car and get to continue driving it.
Weakness:
Knocks when the weather is cold, but stops when the car warms up. My first experiences with this car were bad. The transmission leaked within the first 6 months and the engine burned a valve within the first 2 years. Both repairs were under warranty and were taken care of with no difficulties. Since then, all I have done is scheduled maintenance and the car runs fun. Similar Products Used: None |

Cavalier Z24 2.4L 5SPD White
Strength:
Great looks, inside and out. Handles nice and tight. Great feel. Lots of power for a 4cyl while still being efficient on gas. about 36MPG Doesn''t rattle inside like everyone complains about. I dont'' know if it''s jut my car, but if that''s the only thing they have to complain about, it''s a damn good car!! For those people who''s engines blow up, they should learn how to drive them. Most Z24 owners are young teens who just dont'' know how to treat a car.
Weakness:
Low mudflaps. The mudflaps scrape when going over speed bumps. Only trouble so far was 2 lights burned out. I love this car. The best vehicle i''ve ever owned. I bought it used and owned it for half a year. Paid 13,500 canadian for it. Great deal. Just like a new car. Similar Products Used: Ford tempo. Ford F150 extended cab. |

Strength:
It gets me where I need to go.
Weakness:
They hear me coming with the rattling and ticking!!! I purchased a Chevy Cavalier three years ago and it is a piece of junk. The engine sounds like crap, it rattles, ticks and the mechanic said that all Cavaliers start to sound like that after it gets over 80,000 miles and he was right, it seems every Cavalier that I see on the road makes the same sound that mine does.

Strength:
Appearance, gas mileage, and relatively good space.
Weakness:
Power, longetivity, and impossible to do anything yourself with such an encased engine. Terrible vehicle. It was good when I first got it. I took great care of this car, got the oil changed each and every 3000 miles, got belts replaced at the recommended intervals, never abused it or anything. Then last week, the engine basically BLEW UP. It has 96,000 miles on it. End of story. Now I drive a Saab with 156,000 miles on it...which drives like a new car. Similar Products Used: None. |

Strength:
Gas Mileage, smoothness of the ride, great pick up..... very cute car
Weakness:
road noise, but its expected out of a little car like that.. I have really enjoyed this cute lil car thus far, great gas mileage and very decent pick up for a little thing, only problem I have had is keeping the antenna tight but nothing that a little lock-tight couldn''t fix. Similar Products Used: I have owned 1 cavalier in the past, treated me very well for 170,000 miles |

Weakness:
None The Pontiac Sunburst is the smae vehicle as the Isuzu I-Mark or Chev Spectrum. This car is the typical asian car. It isn''t very attractive however. But the paint is very durable. It (and others I have seen) only has corrostion around the wheel wells. This car hardly needs any maintenance. I have only ever replaced the clutch in the two years I have owned it. Very impressive ... very cheap. I would tell you if you are looking for a car that will run well for a very long time. This is the one... it always starts in our Canadian winters. (Value is in Canadian). Similar Products Used: None |
