fun ride but poor quality

My car may or may not be typical, but it was in the shop four times for repairs (wheel speed sensor, fuel level sending unit, fan speed control unit, head gasket, rusty rotors, loud pinging engine when cold). Once it left me stranded on the highway. The trim was loose in places, it got horrible radio reception, winshield trim rattled in the wind, radio station tuning knob turned station #'s the wrong way half the time. Other than the poor quality, it was a good car to drive. The car has good acceleration and cornering and is fun to drive.

I bought this car in order to get out of another one. It turns out that I like it so much, I wouldn't have believed it either four months ago. It runs well, the service is great, and the ride compares with my friend's mercedes! The best part: The dash lights up red at night and the lights are automatic, don't ever worry about leaving lights on all night.

The dealer tells me I was given a Friday car and apologizes. GM refuses to allow me out of lease. I've had electrical issue since purchased the vehicle which is 2 1/2 years now. The Car doesn't start about 3 times a month on average. Just got car back from shop today and once again they swear it's fixed. The 2nd time I heard that this month! The latest excuse The whole experience has been a 2 1/2 year nightmare for me. I know I could sue and win 10 attempts to fix the same problem twice this month alone. But I only have 3 more months on their lease they won't let me out of less I sue. HEY GM EAT THOSE JUMP START & TOW CHARGES!!!!

this car is SSSLLLOOOWWWW and handles worse than my old 94 Ford Escort!! For all the flash, it really handles poorly, leaning through corners like a truck and very non-responsive steering. I am sure this car will wear like a typical GM...rust out and be worthless in 5 years.
