Bought this car before I checked safety rating and I would never buy another because of it - what was GM thinking?? The car is generally ok - but I hate having to sink money into a car that is less than 2 years old - had to replace fuel sender already and $75 for emission updates?? What is that all about? One good thing it gets great gas mileage.

This car has given us nothing but trouble. It is poorly made in every regard. Parts have fallen off the car such as the interior door panel reflector and the wing type material above the window. The front hub bearing had an issue, the fuel pump went out, the electrical is very messed up and lights fill the dash at any given time whether or not there is an issue. The repairs it would take to make this car drivable far exceed its worth. Mechanics will tell you how many issues GM's motors are having. Just DON'T DO IT.

I have not had any repairs outside of normal wear and nothing prematurely. It holds the road well and it never lacks power. With good tires well balanced, it's smooth far beyond the legal limit. I've only undercoated once, and the body is still solid. I purchased this car, off lease, just over a year old. I typically only keep a car 2 - 4 years, but I've had this one 5 years and don't have any plans to trade yet.

I have had no problems with the mechanical parts of the car. I would warn anybody that is interested in purchasing one that the road noise is louder than most car. Also, be concerned about poor resell value. These cars are a dime a dozen. In 3 years the tmv of this vehicle went down almost %10,000.
a good car so far

As I read other reviews on the 2001 GA, I realized I too have had similar problems with the engine not turning over on the first attempt. Hmmm??? This is my second GA. first was a 1996 GA GT. I think the handling of the GT was better. Overall, I have not had many problems with car. I did have to replace a tail light seal which leaked water into the truck/extra tire compartment. I would think this is a good car, but it is not a Nissan, Toyota, or Honda. You get what you pay for. The brakes are not very strong which is a known GM problem.
