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.
what i like to like

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.
Skip it

Overall I had a bunch of problems with this car. The car is very electrical and I had two major electrical problems in the two years that I owned this car. The first time an engine lock fuse shorted and my car wouldn't start. Luckily I was still covered by my warranty or else I would have had to pay over 400 not including towing. The second time I paid about 400 again to have the thing fixed. This car isn't so great on gas (but then again I did have a V6) Also I received a notice from the manufacturer that there was a malfunction with the hazard lights. I noticed this also with the signal lights every time I used the turning signal it would still click even after being put back
Sorry I bought this car

I love the looks and wanted a sporty v6 and thought I had found it at the right price. But I have had major brake problems which have damaged the transmission, brakes had to be replace in half the time I usually replace them. The motor idles rough. The radio overheats and ruins my CDs. Both my daughter and I get a backache on trips if we are driving. The passenger seatbelt locks when the seat is forward. I won't buy from this dealer or buy another Pontiac, a finincial disaster for me.

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.
