i think ive spelt it right...someone at work just picked up a tidy 97 Cavalier, with a 2.4 ltr engine. Im at a loss as to exactly what engine it is though. Its an auto if that helps. Tried to find engine codes, but i couldnt match them up with anything on the 'all you ever needed to know about toyota engine' site.

Any help would be appreciated.

There's nothing good about it. My sister had one, spent more time in the workshop than on the road, mostly electrical/ECU problems.

In short they are a dog, and one that should be put out of it's (and everyone else's) misery :evil:

build quality and reliability
parts cost, no wait, they COST. most are ex japan and they are a major PITA to work on, so labour is rather high. try 12 hours for a waterpump

dont ever take it to repco (more so than any other vehicle) because you will give the person you talk to, and the computer system a total breakdown.

these things are evil

kill it

even the battery is a c**t to get hold of

buahahaha

flange. never gets old.

by **sergei** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 2:31 pm

I need new flange....

But from my experience (working at car yard) they are total shit - even worse then golfs. They fall apart just by being parked in one place.
BTW the windscreen on those is megabucks. So the water pump.
They are awfull to drive and interior looks like made by canadian mule (out of canadian beaver).

by **Mr Revhead** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 2:32 pm

funny enough, they are made in canada

by **XERO** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 2:45 pm

Haha, not one of these... :lol:

2.4l of fury... with the power of a 1.3l!!! :lol:

See if you can get it over 110kph :twisted:

Iv'e heard they shake at that sorta speed...

by **sergei** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 2:51 pm

Yep, they are indeed made in canada...
Which reminds me of the song "go back to canada"
from this cartoon:
