Cheap Car. Reliable for first 80K mi.
This was the first car that I ever bought. Bought it with 32K miles on it. CD player broke after having it a week. Was fixed for free under warranty. Replaced brakes twice, but they are like $15 each. Seats are uncomfortable and front seat belt strap hits you across the neck. Car handles rough and shocks/struts start to go bad. Doesn't have much power. Car handles HORRIBLE in the rain and windy weather. Slow oil leak started around 60K but not a major issue. Fog lamps stopped working around same time. Driver's side door started catching on frame and wouldn't open. Have to get rid of it now at almost 85K because transmission is bad, but has been reliable up until that point.
Too many issues
I have had too many problems with this car. Shortage with the turn signals was the only recall on this that I got when there should have been plenty more recalls on it. The seat belts locking up(when they shouldn't),left high beem does not work now has a short in it, all my gauges on the dash board don't work, my drivers side window has a short in it and my locks have messed up on it before. I feel sorry for anyone who has bought this hunk of junk.
iN lOvE
I just bought mine yesterday and put about 110 miles on it today on some great hairpin turns and it handles awsome. The stereo is great for a factory system. And you cant beat silver w/ tinted windows.
DONT BUY GM
Had my car less than 6 months and it started falling apart. VERY POOR quality car. The paint is peeling off all over. Front end of car is messed up, I've been told it was more than likely damaged at the factory. ****GM mechanics SUCK!! I have had 6 dashes, 4 left panels, 3 right panels, 3 consoles, and the stereo replaced!! ALL because the "GM CERTIFIED MR GOODWRENCH MECHANICS" are careless when they work on my car!!! And guess what GM customer service does NOT care I have called numerous times!! BEWARE OF HOW FAST THIS CAR CAN FALL APART!!! BUY A FORD INSTEAD!! I WISH I HAD!!!!!
I do not really recommend these cars
First of all , you will get plenty sick of looking at that engine light , also they have a lot of things other cars don't have like plastic paper over the windshield and rear window that bubble and otherwise come undone due to intense heat and cold temperatures ( winter and summer } I could go and on , I hate the thing and regret buying it . I only had it a few months and the engine light started coming on . I spent thousands of dollars on " repairs " to get it out for the emission test. This car is nothing but aggravation . Don't waste your money .
