Faults:

Replaced one rear engine mount from oil leak I should have fixed. And CV joint cover.

Inside mirror fell off, easily re glued, but compass, with Onstar, is now inaccurate and can't find out how to reset it. Info for resetting non Onstar compass didn't work.

General Comments:

Most dependable car I ever owned. Gets over 30mpg on the highway, 24 in the city.

Supercharger is great when needed. Great handling. Sporty handling.

I love it, but my husband, who drives a van, dislikes low seats.

Faults:

My bearings went bad at 5,000 mile.

Oil leak at 30,000 mile.

Transmission went at 47,000.

Power windows motor went at 47,000.

Had to replace oxygen sensor 47,500.

Check engine light keeps coming on 47,500, and still does periodically at 50,000.

Has had to have several different repairs, and no dealership or mechanic can figure out the engine light problem still.

General Comments:

Since I have purchased this vehicle, I have had nothing but problems one after another.

I have had nothing but the runaround from the dealership, kept doing oil testing wrong until my warranty ran out. Then told me it was my problem.

The only thing I love about the car is the way it handles, on the road.

However, I am a stay at home mom and the repair bills are too much to handle.

Faults:

Recently my automatic lights and fan for the air (and A/C) have stopped working. I think it's a loose wire or a fuse?

The coolant scares me because it changes into a brown color, even after I've replaced it.

My battery failed to recharge, so I purchased a new one.

My "low oil" light goes on periodically, but the oil level is fine.

Sometimes the car fails to start-up, but eventually it does, always.

General Comments:

I love being in this car. I feel safe and secure. Switching lanes couldn't be easier.

I wish it didn't have some sorta problem whenever I fix another. The problems aren't usually a big deal though.

My gas mileage is about 18 city, 24 highway. Something around there. I never get less than 16 in stop-and-go driving. I'm pretty easy on the pedal, but flooring the car is so much fun. (rarely happens, only on the highway)

Sometimes I'm going faster than I realize, so I have to constantly look at the speedometer on 20 mph roads.

Overall, I recommend this car as a first car for teenagers or even adults! Just treat it well and it will treat you well in return. You will get attached.. know this because I've named mine :)

Faults:

I have not had one problem with this car.

General Comments:

I just absolutely love this car. This car handles like my 88 Corvette. It has only 5 hp less than my 88 Corvette does.

The 2002 GTP was lowered for better handling on the supercharged models.

I get 22 miles in town and 28 on the highway, if I keep my foot out of it. LOL.

The HUD display works great. This car is fully loaded. I never ever have any problems with this car.

The car is very stylish.

I have owned many vehicles. And this one is most practical.

Faults:

The barrel for the key is sometimes unforgiving about giving you your key back, we've had it replaced before, but the problem persists.

When we got the car, only fan speed settings 3-5 worked, in the last 3 months, it has diminished down to just fan speed 5. We were told it may be the switch on the fan motor. We haven't really looked into it.

What we believe to be the water pump has started squealing, the sound goes away for the ride after revving it past 3000.

Had to replace discs recently and get realignment because of a scraping noise from the front left wheel well while making a left turn. It was a warped rotor. and the car needed a realignment anyway.

Heater bypass hose cracked and caused quite a scare. Classic white smoke coming out from underneath the hood. $5 for the hoses, but enough coolant was lost replacing the part to merit a flush.

Car burns oil in summer months (I live in WI).

Both front and rear bumper covers have been damaged. Very costly to repair. Also, be careful where you park, the bumper is lower than it looks.

Volume control doesn't always work properly on the head unit, but all steering wheel controls work properly.

General Comments:

In my opinion, the car has performed beautifully for one with over 160k.

The interior is very accommodating towards the driver. The passenger seats are also adjustable, but not as much as the driver seat. The seat heater is also very nice in the winter.

The stereo sounds very nice for a stock system, its not the BOSE system or anything, but it gets the job done, the 7 band equalizer is also a very nice addition.

Performance isn't top of the line, but its plenty for a commuter to have a little fun between home and work. It has its quirks, like the shifting pattern being a little off for casual driving, like the shift point just before 40mph. I sometimes have a slight problem with firm shifts, but it doesn't bug me too much.

Handling is very good, I've taken off ramps at 70 and never felt like the car was going to slip or tip.

All in all, a good car for the money. It has all the usual quirks of any newer computerized car, but it makes up for it in looks and performance.
