Catera hardship
I bought my Catera about a month ago. I had been looking to buy a new one but they stop making them and this was the only one on the lot. Got a great deal on the car and about two weeks later the windsheilds decided it wanted to crack. So they put me in a Deville and I feel in love and traded my Catera the next day.
What was I thinking?
The Catera provided the image but the issues were driving me nuts. The glove compartment pops open if the temp is below 12 degrees. The auto cup holder stick, the ignition key always stick. I had a hollering match with the owners of the dealership over the tire thread damage on the driver's side. They said it was normal wear and tear. Replace a battery, the steering column leakage caused car to lock up and I was stranded for hours waiting for roadside. Error lights are always on. I'm taking things very well but today is my last day with it and look forward to something less classy and more fun. PT Cruiser, here I come baby!
Catera, 2000
Great car. I like the German aire about the car. It is very different from the American and Japanese autos. This is highly under-rated automobile.
I live my Catera
I had always driven Hondas (since the 70s) In my old age I stepped up to the Catera and really you can't beat it for trips. I arrive feeling like I haven't driven 500 miles. Don't care what people say, I love the comfort, OnStar and the service I get locally. Small, enuf power and comfort.
Never again!!
Bought demo with 2000 kms (1200 miles). Worst car of the 12 I've owned. Car always in the shop, thinking of getting membership with local towing. Engine problems, rebuild the front end ($2000+), brakes ($1200), one wheel bearings ($700), electrical problems, rear defog, frequent stawling, powertrain controller, on third set of brakes and rotors, replaced stabilizer bars, and on and on and on...
