This has been a perfect car for the five of us. Kids are all under 9- I can see needing to move back up to a van when we have three teenagers. Cloth interior cleans up great.

The mommy's car

The car and steering wheel shake and vibrate between 75-80 mph. Side panels were dented and unable to be pushed back out since they're "dent resistent." Otherwise I like the car. Would like power sunroof to be an option. It would make my family vehicle feel more adventurous. Traction control works great in rainy/snowy weather.

Transmition blew after 50,000 miles

Nothing but trouble from day one. Most of it was minor. For example, a piece of the intior trim was not molded correctly so it did not fit in place and kept poping out. Every time I took it to the dealer explaining the problem and pointing out that just poping the trim back into place wouldn't work because it would just pop back out. They kept poping it into place. Finnaly had some one else glue it. The major problem was that the transmition self distructed after 50,000 miles. The dealer isn't covering it...

I have been happy with the performance of this car, especially for a 4 cylinder. Unless you are looking for a speed demon this car is fine. A benefit of the 4 cylinder is great gas mileage - about 25(in town) to about 32(highway). Traction control gives a confident drive in wintry conditions(no need for 4 wheel drive). Wagon useful for hauling large telescope and other equipment. On the other hand, electrical and a few other minor problems have plagued the car.

I bought my 2000LW1 in Feb of 2004 it had 20,000 miles. I worked as a courier for a living and drove the car about 300 miles a day, 5 days a week in all weather conditions. This car has 321,000 miles on it!! The only thing that stopped it was hitting a deer last May, which totaled the car. It was all body damage so I just had the motor put in a LS1. After sitting for a year it fired right up and is still running strong. The only things I had to do to the car (before the deer) was oil changes, tires, and at 320,000 had to replace the fuel pump. This was a wonderful car, great gas mileage and fun to drive. I would buy another one for sure. Have to see how many miles the first engine will go.
