2.4L very reliable

I bought this car brand new back in 1998. I currently have 177,240 miles on it. Original tranny and engine. I have not had to do any major repairs. Just maintenance. This car is great. Much much better than my wifes 2002 Malibu. I am suprisingly impressed with this Cavalier. I am sure this engine will outlast the body. I am getting some rust on the bottom of the doors. I just sand them down with my dremmel and hit it with a coat of rustoleum!!

Nice Car

This is a nice car, i was really surprised at how well it is doing. It is my wife's car and she likes it a lot. it has a lot of options, very easy to use and is really realiable. Not to mention the price on the car, that is awesome. I enjoy the get up and go the car has, very responsive, even though it is just a little 115 hp engine. Really grabs a gear and goes. It has the 4 speed auto transmission and that is a great transmission, it finds a gear and holds it, no real gear hunting. also again very responsive and will drop into that gear you need.

MOST CAR FOR THE MONEY

I have a 1998 Convertible and it runs and runs. This is really the most car for the money. Just drop the top and go....... The Z4 has power and lots of fun for a great price

Great college car~ low maintanence and dependable!

Great college car~ low maintanence and dependable! I wanted something that would be easy for me to care for, great gas milage and was reliable.... it did exactly that! I drove my car during 5 years to a college 40 minutes away, it got me there every day!
