I bought my car when it was 3 years old and it had 84000 miles on it and now it is at 114000 miles and it has not lost any pep what so ever. i love this car. my future plan is drop the 3800 Supercharged engine in it and put a few mods on it. hey this car got me into a national car club. i also plan on putting a high performance shifter with shift kit and new chip, msd ignotion, performance parts, exhaust, and i just added a cone air filter and the response time is alot better.

This car is the worst car I've ever owned and the problems are endless. After putting in over $5000 in repairs, so much still is broken. The interior is horrible from the seat having no padding to the whole front panel falling apart. Everything is rust and the muffler fell off and the rest of rotted. Fumes are in the car so the windows need to be kept opened at all times in which you'll end up having to please the window switch each year. Backseat and trunk leaks, no hot air even after having fixed 4 times. ABS light goes off and TCS messes up, low oil level light never turns off. The shifting is all messed up and everything rattles including the cheap audio system. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I just purchased this car from a friend. It was bought at an auction as it was stolen recovery. Little damage was done, but there are some little body imperfections that would cost about $200 to repair. I love the pick- up on it. I really wish the dual exhaust was true dual. I bought the car with 98000 miles on it and it runs beautifully. Just had the oil changed and a few belts replaced.

My car has had no problems so far and it has 90000 miles on it. It drives like it's brand new.

excellent go-power, very reliable, only problems are that the cd player stopped working at about 40000 mi, had it replaced and again stopped at about 100000 mi; and being 5'9" tall the head room is a little lacking (my 6' husband hates the lack of head room). Otherwise very good ride, great gas mileage, excellent power, and makes speeding up on curves a blast.
