GT 2dr Coupe (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
I love to drive this car! Definitely
the best handling in its class! I was
a little hesitant to buy a car with an
automatic transmission but I quickly
found the shifts to be very quick and
firm. The engine produces enough power
to make acceleration exciting and an
exhaust note that makes me feel all
warm and fuzzy inside. The exterior
styling is quite nice (I'm always
afraid someone's going to steal my
rims they're so nice) and the interior
isn't bad either. The seats are
great, they're comfortable and
supportive during spirited cornering.
I like this car so much I find I never
want to stop driving.

I find this to be a very solid, great handling and fun to drive car. There is more then the rated horsepower available, especially considering the cars 3800 lbs. and it runs great!! I would advise i bought this NOT looking for a maintenance free car - it waas cherry but i replaced the coolant with NON DEX_COOL and a lower-tem thermostat - its a GM thing you need to correct but the engine will last foever - i'm a mechanic and trust me it will save you TONS of trouble. I've seen GM's like this take some serious abuse and keep on going!!!

GT 4dr Sedan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
I bought this car 11yrs ago with 68k miles on it. It now has 208k and going strong! All it ever needs is preventative maintenance, tires and brakes. Biggest thing I had to do was a thermostat and some coolant lines. Lights are on the dash but the reader shows no codes. I think it's just old electrical issue as a lot of GM's have after a decade. I have been very blessed with this car. I will stay with her until she dies which I don't think will be soon. I think I can get 250-300k miles out of it. If you have a chance to pick one up under 80k miles don't hesitate. It will last you with proper maintenance.

SE2 4dr Sedan (3.4L 6cyl 4A)
This car is a good first car, but not much more than that. I purchased it from my older brother, who owned it for about 2 years. Before him, it was owned by a family friend and before that a car rental service, so my car has seen its fair share of abuse. When my brother bought the car, it had a leak in the cooling system to where it had to be filled every week or so. It was too expensive to fix, so I've been living with it. The driver side windows have been broken twice. The oil switch broke, which almost totaled the car. The starter went out. The washer pump is broken. The horn is broken. The dashboard is warping up. The keyless entry system is broke
