Faults:

Sensors, water pump, coils, brakes, normal maintenance.

General Comments:

A dream... very reliable... very low cost to repair.

Drives so great, handles very well. If I do rent a new car... getting back in mine, I feel little difference.

Chuck Jordan who designed this car, knew a few things. He worked for GM for 50 years. This was his last design before he retired.

Faults:

The sway bar links went bat at 110000; the cost of repair was $50.

Trim around the front windows are covered, and have come unglued and had to be recovered.

Replaced the throttle position sensor at 120000.

General Comments:

The car is one of the best I have ever owned. Low cost for repairs.

This car is quick and surprises a lot of people that a car this big can move so quick.

This is a car you can drive for 300-400 miles on a trip and not feel beat to death when you get to where you are going.

Faults:

Nothing ridiculous for a sixteen-year old car.

Surprisingly little has gone wrong in the 4.5 years and 35k miles I've had it.

The interior has held up remarkably well overall. A few minor trim pieces have crapped out.

The paint on this model year has chipped and flaked off. That's why I got it super cheap. $600.

General Comments:

Awesome car. Smooth, fast, handles great (especially with Michelins), pretty good fuel economy, huge trunk.

I plan on keeping this one until the drivetrain craps out.

I use Mobil-1, so it may never die.

Faults:

-Transmission jerks repeatedly under hard acceleration, causes could be worn clutches, gunk in the valve body, bad control module, After purchasing the car I flushed the trans fluid and replaced the filter as it appeared the previous owner never changed the fluid in the entire time he owned it (140000Km), the flush and filter didn't help, but the transmission works fine when the car is driven nicely except for a slightly rough down shift.

-Drivers side power window motor worn out, was easy to replace.

-Water pump is making some bearing noise, plan to replace it very soon.

-Pulls to the right, just needs a wheel alignment.

-Otherwise the car was well kept and is in near mint condition, regular maintenance was documented in a six page diary except the tranny fluid was ignored by previous owner for some reason.

General Comments:

A nice car that you can drive with confidence.

Has lots of trunk space and spacious interior.

Comfortable relaxing ride.

Lots of room for the kids in the back (I loath minivans).

Fuel economy is excellent for a car of this size and power (27 mpg overall city and highway).

Faults:

At about 153,000 miles, the supercharger gained a knocking noise, eventually going out completely. A very expensive part.

General Comments:

This car accelerates fast and handles very well. It also is very comfortable and luxurious.
