General Comments:

My wife and I bought this car last year when we forced to sell our 2004 Envoy because of gas prices. I hated this car at first because it was almost 16 yrs old, and because I was bitter about losing my Envoy. But I stand behind GM products. My wife had a corsica when we first met and loved it, so when we bought this one for 1000 dollars (us) she thought we were getting a deal. We did get a really good deal, after I had Carfaxed the vehicle to make sure the miles and everything were right we bought it. It has truly lived up to previous GM performance. At 100k miles we had top replace a lot of things, but that's because we live in a cold climate and it had come from a warmer climate. Overall the car has been a good one and if it's anything like my wifes old one we still have around 150k miiles to go.

Faults:

All little things- Had to put a junk yard steering column in it due to previous owners abuse. New brakes, shocks, visors (because they where missing), fuel door hinge, fuel filter, plugs & wires, exuast, radio(old one kept shutting off when I would hit a bump).

General Comments:

I originally bought this car as a temporary driver while I put a transmission in my unreliable 96 grand am, I buddy of mine had it sitting at his place for about 6 months because of a broken steering column due to his fist and a fight with his GF. I gave him 75dollars for it and have had it every since. I have put about 65000 miles on it and maybe have $500 in it all together At 189,000 miles I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. This by far is the most reliable car I have ever owned.

Faults:

Thermostat went bad at 160000 miles.

Alternator stopped taking its charge at 150000 miles.

Small cracks in dash.

Ignition gear busted in steering wheel.

General Comments:

This car is the most comfortable ride, inside and out. It's driving and handling ability are excellent. The interior is exceptionally comfortable and very spacious.

Repairs and general maintenance is very easy. there is plenty of room underneath the hood to do whatever kind of work needs to be done.

Faults:

Heater Core was plugged when I got it.

Fuel sender line leaked.

Flywheel got damaged by a wrongly installed starter

Seats are worn.

General Comments:

Generally this is a very dependable and robust car. Maintenance and repairs are easy and not too expensive. The 2.2 liter engine is a bit sluggish and noisy at low gears, but this thing has so much power and speed on the highway. It's very stable.
