2nd car, not what I expected

I purchased this car from my uncle thinking it was a steal. For the first couple months it was amazing. Drove around and felt the cars power and started getting to know it. Since owning it I have replaced the following: turbo, crank position sensor, the coil pack (3 times) and a few other smaller parts. As I write this the car also has an oil leak and the power steering is going out. It is also having trouble shifting and is lagging in power. I know cars take time and money to keep running, but this one has been taking more money than I'll be able to get out of it. I would not recommend this as a 1st car or even a 2nd, that is if you are the one paying for everything done to it.

Ok so this is my first car and holy crap is it fast! My friends love it and i love having the ability to past people on the freeway easily. I can overpower cars with v8 motors and this thing is a rocket! On the bad..... It does have small issues from now and then. yes the wipers, blower motor and rear window stoped working they were all simple fixes and it was worth it to me. IF YOU WANT TO NEVER HAVE ISSUES BUT DRIVE A BORING SLOW CAR GET A TOYOTA. This car will also save ur life in a wreck it is very solid. This thing is mean and for a car with nearly 150,000 miles it feels brand new. Thank you saab for an amazing first car I will for sure own one for the rest of my life.

Inherited the last two years of this lease. Probably wouldn't have selected this car myself, but came to really appreciate it. It hasn't had one mechanical problem. It is fast, too. You get a little torque steer when accelerating, but that has never bothered me. Very smooth at high speeds. When we had our cold spell last winter here in Chicago, it began to creak a bit which makes me wonder how it will be in the next few years. I would recommend this car for a lease, don't know about the long term.

Got a great deal on it used. It was fun at first, the turbo was a blast. Ventilated seats, neat dash controls, but it started falling apart. Car alarm would go off randomly in the night when temperatures dropped. It burned oil. Was expensive to fix and never was able to fix it. Oil bled into the brake lines. Blue smoke everytime I started it. Finally had to pawn it off to a dealer as a trade-in. LEMON. I loved the features of the car and still miss certain things about it, but it was unreliable and just downright embarrassing with the clouds of blue smoke I left in parking lots.

Keep in mind thid is a GM. Forget the past reliability. This vehicle begins to self destruct at 50K. Shocks, direct ignition, wheels frozen in place,rugs, interior trim, failure to start, leaky radiator, info display, etc, etc, etc. Stay away till GM gets thrown out.
