My First Sports Car

My First Pontiac, 06/18/2008

Wow, Pontiac has excited me with this car! Its fun to drive and turns heads, all my lady friends want to drive it. As well as it handles and is magnetized to the road its hard to let anyone but me drive it. I purchased the car knowing there wasn't much storage space in it. Didn't buy it for storage anyway, as far as the cup holders, wouldn't care if they were there or not. Glad theres not an ashtray, gives me a reason not to let friends smoke in my car!

This small car always puts a smile on my face. It is a nice addition to my Harley! Fun for two!

Incredible car. I have one of the only turbo locally. I love my car and her name is Prissy. She’s every bit of her name. I bought it with 21,000 miles and she has 39,000 now. White with a black top, she always gets compliments. She is an everyday driver and garage kept. So happy I had the chance to own her.

Went to dealership and after driving it I bought it . Handles great ....love the acceleration . Very impressed with the mpg . Had to get water pump replaced at dealer ...the timing chain whined and I took it back . They charged me alot more than the water pump replacement to fix a problem they caused with the timing chain tensioner . They would not take responsibility for the tensioner being tripped during the water pump removal . Other than that the car has performed without a hitch for 150k . Garage kept of course .
