Faults:

Motor mounts 2014 - fixed with the windshield glue trick.

Starter died in 2015.

MAF sensor died in 2015.

eBay MAF sensor died in 2016.

Starter from Auto Zone died in 2016, right past warranty. Junk yard starter - still working.

Passenger window button, kinda broke, needed extra push pressure bushings!?

The back wheels always made a clatter sound the entire life of the car. I assume it was the struts, brake guard or old bushings, but I could never find the source.

Changed synthetic oil every 15k miles.

General Comments:

I bought this car because it fit all my needs and because of the reviews on this very site. I was not disappointed! I got this to drive for Lyft at the time and put a lot of miles on it; drove from NM to NC multiple time with no problems.

The sunroof never leaked.

Only time it failed me was the 2nd and 3rd starter.

The car looked rough when I bought it; front leather seats were ripped and worn; got seat covers.

The car came from Florida, and was noticeably rusted and the paint was wearing. I initially gave it full tune up after I bought it, and then rarely ever had to work on it after that.

I drove to NC again its 7th trip, abused it a little more by driving over poorly cut forest that scrapped the undercarriage, and nearly ripped off the bumper, still worked, gave it to my niece, then she hydroplaned and finally lost the back bumper, but it still runs and is over 250k miles. I barely took care of it.

I really I miss this car and regret not getting the manual variant. Never had a IACV problem, sprayed some cleaner in the intake every half year. But yeah they had so few typical problems. These really are fuel efficient tanks! Best MPG was driving across flat midwest ~35 MPG, typical MPG was 29.

Cons:

Drink holders - just get some aftermarket ones.

Turning radius - not a deal breaker, but you can turn things into 3 point turns.

General Comments:

Great car, was bought brand new in 2001 by parents.

Luxury, yet a great commute car.

Aside from the general maintenance, I haven't had any trouble with it.

I would definitely buy another G20 if they still made this model. I plan to keep this car for a good while.

Faults:

I've had this car since May 2002, and the only thing that went bad is the O2 sensor. Cup holders could be better, turning radius is to wide, power is a little low on the low end, but for economy that's to be expected.

General Comments:

I have the luxury model with leather interior. My wife and I have loved this car ever since we bought it. It fits our style, sporty and a little luxury. I love the Bose stereo system, the auto air, and the sun roof. Gas mileage is pretty good also. Over all look is my style. Oh... it really handles the road really good also, I had to hit the brakes once at 60 mph to miss a deer and the car handled excellent.

Faults:

Intermittent rattle at idle, presumably a heat-shield (yet virtually unnoticeable).

Keyless-entry remote control doesn't always work on the first try, even when 2 feet away from the car.

General Comments:

Excellent value for the money. I'm an unemployed college student and even I can afford it on my limited salary! My first new car and loving it.

Unexpectedly generous amounts of headroom, even with a sunroof.

Unbelievable handling. Freeway interchanges at 85 mph and the car asks for more.

Low-end torque is marginal at best, but this engine comes alive above 4000 rpm.

Brakes are excellent. Very powerful and the ABS is very subtle when activated.

Turning radius is poor (worse than the I30). Standard U-turns usually require 3-point maneuver.

Climate control has some difficulty cooling on a hot day around town. On freeway, it works perfectly and doesn't affect gas mileage.

Cupholders were an after-thought. Cannot hold anything more than medium drink WITHOUT a straw. Passenger's "clips" onto map pocket and sometimes falls out of car when passenger exits.

No glove compartment light! I have to turn on overhead light to see at night.

Car looks and feels very sport, solid, and safe.

My neighbors and friends can't stop complimenting me on this car.
