Faults:

Breaks squealed when they got warm/hot. Dealership said it was because they are metallic pads. I replaces pads with carbon ones and put on slotted rotors, no more squealing.

Loud tire noise when driving down the highway.

General Comments:

Smooth comfortable ride.

Almost no wind noise.

Awesome sound system, especially with the satellite radio.

Love the front bucket seats, I have made several 1000 mile road trips and did not feel fatigued when I arrived at my destination.

Excellent gas mileage, am averaging 30-34 miles per gallon on the highway.

On Star has been so useful and always there when I needed it.

Faults:

Nothing wrong so far. Had brakes inspected at 45,000 miles and was told that there was more than 50% on all 4. Hope to get 90,000 miles on my brakes. So far only replaced fuel filter at 45,000 miles.

Didn't know that I had a cabin air filter until I was told I needed a new on at 35,000 miles by the oil change shop.

General Comments:

I put in a K&N air filter at 15,000 miles and my MPG on a 900 mile drive to Denver increased to 33.5 MPG.

I actually purchased this car in November 2002 but it is a 2003 Model.

No anti-lock brakes and no aluminum rims so I can keep my maintenance costs lower.

I am hoping to do the S belt, brakes, tires, transmission flush, plugs and wires, alignment, and maybe radiator flush at 90,000-100,000 miles.

I shouldn't have bought that stupid GAP insurance that the salesman proposed before talking to my regular insurance agent. Another sales ripoff of $299.

S.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong.

Scratches very easily, a disappointment since the primer is white and with a black topcoat, every imperfection shows.

Would not buy black again, constantly washing the car since black shows dirt almost immediately.

General Comments:

Great looking car and very comfortable.

Good performance and handling.

Great mileage with a large trunk and plenty of legroom.

OnStar worth the money.
