Faults:

When I bought it there was a collection of water in the trunk where the spare is kept.

Only a few weeks into owning the car the "Check Engine" light came on. When I brought it into the dealership they tried to charge me almost triple the real price to fix the problem. Ended up only paying 50 bucks because it wasn't even thirty days off the lot.

The brakes have started to squeal off and on, but not terrible.

The road-noise is pretty loud, but again, nothing terrible.

CD player crapped out a month ago. I had to buy another one.

The AC is great, but the switch is starting to go, and it will only work when it is on the third or fourth.

The axle squeaks when I am in reverse.

General Comments:

It drives extremely well, gets great gas mileage, and I have a great warranty.

It scratches easily, but you can avoid scratches by just being careful.

The seats are amazingly comfortable.

Faults:

That is a huge list:

Lets see... leased car Jan 2002. May 2002-Feb 2004 the car has been in the GM shops a total of 28 times for the exact same reasons. Car will die while driving for no reason. The car has cause me 2 wrecks, and GM feels were all my fault. The check engine light comes on at least once a month for "evaporation " reason, yet no one seems to know how to fix that. Air Bag light will come on for no reason while driving down the road (cause of 1 wreck, airbag went off and I couldn't see.) Huge water leak in the drivers side floor board. Fixed once, but back again. CD player will not play a CD when I hit the back button. Last weekend the car overheated while it was only 30 degrees outside. Back seat doesn't stay mounted on the brackets and constantly flies forward when stopping. And the paint job is cheap. I have scratches, chips and dings when I rarely drive the car and it is parked in a garage 75% of the time. Gas mileage has dropped to about 19 mpg when the sticker says 28-33. Over all a mess of a car.

General Comments:

Engine...when it runs properly is nice for its size. Heating and cooling are fairly nice. Hate how the window will get this glaze over it after you run you're A/C. Can't seem to ever get it cleaned. The larger wheels on the LS Sport are great. Makes the car handle very well. I also like the appearance of the vehicle.

Faults:

The dashboard cracked and had to be replaced after one year.

The glove compartment would open on its own.

Paint on top of car faded on two small sections.

When it rained water would leak inside the car onto the backseat, leaving half the seat wet. Water also goes into the trunk leaving a bad musty smell.

Paint on inside door handle faded during first month of purchase.

The inside part where you adjust the side mirror lets in water.

The dashboard is making a noise.

Brakes already had to fixed.

General Comments:

This car was purchased brand new. It was to be a gift from my dad to my daughter. Due to the things that have started to go wrong with this car in under three years. I will not allow my daughter to drive her car to college. I'm afraid of what else will start to go wrong.

This car is not very comfortable on out of town trips.
