I'm amazed GM could build a car this reliable. I'm not impressed with it's resale value, but overall, I like the car.
VW feel, Toyota reliability, Kia price

Fun to drive!...fastest 0-60 in its class, light weight & tidy size, firm ride, crisp handling, nice shifter/clutch. Reliable...0 mechanical problems in 88,000 miles, dentless body panels. Economical...25- 38 mpg. Easy to live with...xlnt A/C, tons of headroom, surprising cargo capacity. Safe...stiff structure, good crash ratings. BUT: drivetrain is crude, with loud unpleasant noises, slack & slop that make it hard to get a smooth launch, and little power until 3200 rpm (and then ZOOM!). Seats are uncomfortable and headlights are weak (though this is easily corrected w/aftermarket bulbs).

Purchased the car in 6/98 with 26000m on odometer. Excellent fuel milage in beginning - 5 sp trans. Got 35+ on highway and better that 28 around town. YOU MUST keep after the oil. Mine seems to burn about 2 qts every 1500- 2000 miles - checking it is very important. Relaced original tires with 195/60 15 Dunlop SP 2000 - OUTSTANDING and what difference in cornering. Now, at 135K miles, it hesitates on accelerating from a light - any loading at all and the car will buck and chug. I'm guessing the computer modules or the fule injection system - when i get some money I'll be getting it fixed.
