Beware of Transmission

Great car in every aspect except the transmission. I've had mine replaced 3 times, 24k, 38k, and 55k. Glad I got the extended warranty. Read other reviews and you'll see a lot of transmission problems. Dealership denied having knowledge of a problem, but lots of owners have told me the transmissions are a real problem.
Nice car

So far this car has been great to me, I bought it 9 months ago and it was nice to me. The acceleration is really good for a heavy sedan, the handling is excellent, it's very spacious inside. I have 17 inch wheels on it so the ride isn't that smooth but a lot smother than other cars with 13 or 14 inch wheels. The sound system is awsome. I like the six speaker CD player and even on noisy radio stations it plays clear. So overall the car is awsome I had no problems with at all except change the oil and filter. What I don't like about this car is the where the cup holders are located, it's hard to swith gears when it's open, other than that it's a very nice car.

Has proved to be reliable and comfortable transportation but not the "fun to drive" vehicle I was lead to believe it would be by several automotive reviews.
Another Transmission

Bought this car new -- loved it, till 08/24/04. Transmission died in local dealer's service lane. And I do mean died. Only 31,500 miles. While working on the car service mechanic discovered deteriorated Wheel bearing, more money. Sure am glad I bought that extended warrenty everyone told me was a waste of money. Bought this car because of the handling and interior size, I am a short woman, but like to drive a mid-size car.
Fun car, hindered by GM

The 3.8L makes this a pretty fun car to drive, however, as a GM "cookie cutter" car, it suffers from subpar engineering and build quality. Panels like to fall off, something that could've been prevented with a better plastic. The powertrain is generally reliable, but that's about it. You can eek pretty good mpg out of this car, but it's a bit of a pain to do so. If great MPG is your priority, look elsewhere, but don't worry about this car burning holes in your pocket.
