Very solid car that runs great, only problems so far were covered under warranty. The starter was getting weak, and it is fine since replacement. Also, the a/c compressor was starting to lock up, causing the belt to smell, it is also working great since replacement. Overall a good looking and comfortable ride we are happy with.

I will NEVER buy another Pontiac! I bought this car used with 35,000 miles and within a few months had to replace the brakes, now I can plan on brakes once a year...eats breaks. Fuel pump blew $$$$$$. Electronic issues caused 5 times towing $$$$$$. Computerized parts only work when they want, several times a month won't start, air works one day next day maybe, maybe not next day yes----same thing with radio lights locks everything! I have but more money into this car than it is now worth. I call it the money pit. I wish I had read these reviews before I bought the car.

I bought this car used. I guess that was my first mistake. I have had numerous problems. Fuel leaks, brakes, water outlet valve keeps blowing apart, over-heating, now it has been in the shop for a month, replaced fuel pump and filter ($350) and it still won't start. Now while at the shop something with the security system is locked up. The security light is on and the car will do nothing. Anyone wanna buy it? Real cheap!! Pay it off and it's yours!!

I have never had any serious mechanical problems with this vehicle. I bought it pre-owned certified with 56,000. It is now up to 98,000 miles and I have only spent 700 in total for repairs, spanning five years. The only problems I had was the ignition at 98,000 miles and my power windows broke. The key to this vehicle being very reliable is preventive maintenance. If you know nothing about cars and run it into the ground like a Honda you will have problems; however, if you do the normal maintenance such as tune ups/oil changes every 5k miles, fluid flushes, and belt change you should have no problems. If you buy this vehicle and no nothing about how well it was taken care of beware.
