One of the worst rentals I have ever had. Please heed that this car only garnered 1 star rating for safety from NHTSA and got a "Poor Safety" rating from the insurance institute.

Why did I buy this car??

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.

Total Poor Quality - Beware!

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.

Best I've owned

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.
