G5 - A Bargain

I bought my G5 six months ago - so far, it has exceeded my expectations. My daily commute is 57 miles round-trip, 90% highway. I'm averaging 32.5 MPG, despite the 4-speed auto transmission. The 4-cyl Ecotec has plenty of power and the cabin is quiet for an economy car. The tire-pressure monitor alerted me to an air leak in one of my tires caused by a nail BEFORE I drove on the Interstate - very nice. The climate control system is excellent - HOT heat and COLD AC. I like the firm, supportive seats - like a VW's and very comfortable over long trips. If you like soft, cushy, couch cushions, this isn't the car for you.
Forever!

I bought the car with only 19 miles on it! It now has 245,000 miles and I've had it for 9 years! I went from a Power Stroke F-250 to this car and had never had a manual before, but I took right up with the car. It has been there for me every day! The only major things I have had to do to it is shocks and struts, water pump, thermostat, coolant cap and it had a rusted fuel line! I'd say that's pretty amazing! I truly don't want to sell it but for fanatical reasons I may have to fairly soon. It has even crossed my mind to replace it with the same or very similar car!

I bought my car used almost 2 years ago with 50k miles. The people before me did a great job taking care of this car. I now have about 110k miles on it and it drives just as good as it did when i first got it. I like in Chicago and this car had been to Milwaukee, Indianapolis and st Louis a few times. The engine is still quiet and can barely tell the car is on sometimes. Basically anyone who knows how to take care of a vehicle shouldn't have many problems with it. 2yrs and never been to a shop or back to the dealership for anything. I'm 6'2 so my only issue is that i damn near sit in the backseat while driving and the steering wheel is the size of a Frisbee lol other than that the car runs great, has great gas mileage and reliable

Ignition problem

This is my second car. I bought it for the price and the fuel economy. I have a 5-speed and get 29mpg City. I would highly recommend it as a stylish alternative to the "bubbly" fuel economy cars. It rides beautifully and quietly for a standard. However, I have had it back to the dealer TWICE because of problems with the ignition and my keys not being recognized by the car. They said it was not a "recall" on the car, but there is a "bulliten" on this problem. So, beware.
Fun to drive!

I bought this car about one month ago and I can say I am very happy, excellent ride, very comfortable seating, good cornering , nice style, small and fuel efficient, what else could you want, for this price? I am very happy i have had many GM cars in the past, like the impala, century, malibu and they were all great, reliable vehicles. Overall recommended. At least test drive one and you'll see what I am talking about.
