Excellent vehicle. I have had it almost 2 years and have only had a couple of problems. The first was an electrical problem when the computer and vehicle would shut down. This occurred when I was around 11,000 miles. The local Chevy dealer couldn't figure the problem out. I took the car to another dealer and they replased the battery. No more electrical problems. I just passed 53,000 miles and all is good. I change the oil every 10,000 miles with Royal Purple oil and a K&N Oil filter. The only other problem is malfunctioning tire pressure sensors. They ave been replaced 3 times thus far. It's no big deal. I drive Chevy's at work and they have similar issues. Otherwise, I love it!
First Car... Can't recommend enough

A little back history first, I'm 18 and i bought the car when I was 16 at 150,000 (it had been driven by an old couple so it was in pretty good shape) it had a check engine light on but it was because the remote start was broken, not a big deal though. Now i drove this car extremely hard, very recklessly at times and it had amazingly held up very well. It has 204,253 miles and its all from me. I've drifted this thing in dirt, snow, and gravel(yes with the foot emergency break) To be honest I've put this car through hell, ran from cops and angry neighbors trying to get my plate, went through and entire set of tires in 8,000 miles. This car is a blast. sounds surprisingly good with no muffler(yes i cut it off, it is very loud). List of things I've had to replace/work on: Battery, break pads and rotors, oil presser sensor(shop said $200 fix part was only $30 so i did it myself), tires, power steering leak(every now and then I just add power steering leak stop and it works well), did most of the oil changes and tire rotations myself, slight oil leak (just add oil leak stop liquids every oil change). Overalll great car basically i abused it so you don't have to. P.S. please be safe driving court isn't fun

Cars like this make me ashamed to be an American. The engine bay is in a disaster, as they essential put a truck engine in a FWD sedan and stamped an SS badge on it. I replaced the fuel pump, the ac compressor, the rear struts, the oil pressure sensor (4 times), the torque converter and finally sold it when the trans went at 78k miles. This is an entry level trim car is with a big engine and nothing to support it. This car is absolute trash.
Gotta love Chevy

Excellent fit, finish, and materials. Performance and economy are nicely balanced; 3500 miles and already exceeding 30 mpg averages in highway driving. Variable valve timing gives power and economy. Handling is not on par with my 83 VW GTI, but it wasn't stock, either. Interior comfortably accomodates my teenage daughters and all their accoutrements. Bucket seats are significantly improved from previous year's versions. Fold down rear set is a convenient touch--and the seating doesn't suffer in comfort.
