Ok, first let me say I love this car! It's 14 years old and it looks like a new car. It's got a design that seems ageless . The paint has held up amazingly well in this Texas heat . And the ride is both comfortable and powerful. The downside . The car is now on its 4th, count 'em, 4th a/c compressor. And when the compressor goes, so does the rest of the system. Which means the dash has to be pulled out. Which means a $1,500-$1,700 repair bill. The previous owner replaced the original compressor at 18 months, and I'm on my second compressor since buying it in 2003, having replaced it in 2004 and again in 2010. Last complaint: car's turning radius.
Really, really tired of it.

Owned for 8 years. Have spent thousands keeping it on road. Only has 85K miles, but seems like I've replaced everything at least once. All the fuel injectors, shocks, various circuit boards, numerous O2 sensors, air conditioning compressor clutch, fuel pump, fuel tank (!) brake rotors twice, brake lines. I want to love this car, and I sort of do but I am sick of spending a fortune to keep in going. I am ready to sell it, and to just walk away.

This car is pure quality and comfort. Power back the sunroof, let the wind blow your hair, and let the 8 ponies propel you down the highway. The beautiful styling inside and out will keep amazing everyone including yourself every time we look at it. Wow, what a car!
Reliable

I drive lots of miles each an every month...needed a dependable used car, and was not disappointed. This vehicle has comfort and stability that I need while traveling the highways on sales calls. Maintance is important to keeping a fine automobile running properly....this is my third olds, and would buy another....dependable for 150000+.
This car sucks!

In Consumer Reports this car gets some of the worst ratings in every category except exhaust. My experience with this model vehicle certainly supports that! I had to have the air conditioning system replaced, the radiator and water pump replaced, the computer replaced, and numerous other problems fixed. THese problems all occurred before GM's claim of 100,000 miles before the first tune-up. GM had potential with this car and blew it royally! Now I drive a reliable Japanese car.
