If you by used dealers charge way more than its worth. Motor troubles at 70000 even if you maintain. Buy it out right do not finance otherwise make sure you have at leat 5000 stocked away for car emergencies. Make sure you get a good warranty dont go with C.A.R.S PLUS PROTECTION they dont cover much. This car will give you financial blues . Brake sysytem too sensors are no if good. If you have children steer clear!!!!!

Not Comfortable-Don't buy it!

This was the least comfortable car I have ever owned. The seats were hard and the seams cut into the lower back and tail bone. The interior cabin was noisy and we could hear all the road noise and feel every road bump. We traded it in after about 7 months and LOST over 12,000 in resale value! I would not recommend this car to my worst enemy!

The car is new, so too soon to tell if it will stand up to the test of time. I like the look of the car. Seats not great, could be more comfortable. Love the on star feature. When I needed help with getting a spare the Chevy dealership, and the Chevy corporate headquarters was very unresponsive. I would hate to have to deal with them over a really serious issue, they just don't seem to care once your out the door and they have your money.

love this car with one huge disappointment

I love this car - looks, ride, quiet, comfort and I have had absolutely no problems. I currently have 14,000 miles on it and I have had it a year. My major disappointment comes when it comes to milage my overall average mpg on this car since new is 22 mpg overall (yes I have tracked every tank). I never speed and drive very casual and this is the first car EVER that I could not achieve the advertised mpg on. I got rid of a car that would do 27 mpg all day long on the highway and 23-24 city. This car gets under 20 in town and 27-28 hwy. I ask EVERYONE I see and they all say the same thing - anyone on here that says it will do any better does not know how to track milage. 4cyl
