Second Chance

So I gave Pontiac a second chance. I traded my 2005 Pontiac G6 in for a 2008 Pontaic G5. This car stinks. Been in the shop too many times for a new car. Motors replaced in windows and locks. Seat belts replaced, failed. And now with only 10,000 miles on it replacing brakes. The engine is loud for a 4 cyl. Chrome peeling off the door handles. Pontiac stinks. I gave them a second chance and I no longer will drive one. Gas mileage stinks, I'm lucky to get 24 miles to the gallon, maybe, if I drove 55 on the California freeways, I think not.

This is my 5th car. I have owned a 86 grand am, 84 fiero, 00 grand am gt, and a 04 dodge stratus. I traded in my stratus for this car. I have no regrets! This car is day/night comparison to my stratus. Drives nicer, more leg room in the back, nicer stereo, much more power, and gets much better gas mileage.

Purchased this in May '08. I test drove the Chevy Cobalt and ended up liking this a lot. Gas mileage is fairly good. (25 city/32 hwy). Price is right too. Beats buying the Japanese products!

The dealership was amazing and nice but I have had a problem where every time I go to give it gas or go up on a hill it will pull and roar. It's not suppose to do that. I took it to the dealership and they said there was nothing wrong with it. I'm going to continue to take it to the dealer until the problem is fixed.
Too Many Troubles!

Bought new and had for almost 2 years before finally parting ways. Decent power, styling and MPG but way too many problems. Here's the list of things it went back to the dealer for in no specific order: Power windows, power door locks, sunroof switch bezel fell off repeatedly, std tranny shifting problems repeatedly, water in headlight assy, CD/Radio replaced twice (orig, and replacement both failed), etc. etc. etc. The car did start and run every day, but I feel that the benchmark for a "new" car should be just a little bit higher than that. Wish I had researched before buying. My main reason for choosing it was the "good deal" (rebates). Sorry GM, but I'm done now. Just bought a Mazda.
