General Comments:
Overall, I love the car, and will probably keep it a long while.
Except for the water leaking into the car, there have been no defects or problems.
I enjoy driving the car, it is comfortable and fun to drive. It has more than adequate power and a lot of nice features that could only be found on more expensive cars. Not to mention that it looks really good too.
The original tires with the car -- GY Eagle LS slip in wet and snowy/icy conditions. I had them replaced with excellent GY Assurance tires.
I wish there was an option to turn off the headlights when parked -- this is my major annoyance with the car. You can turn the car off, put on the parking brake, and start it up again, but that is a bit much just to turn off the headlights.
Reading this board, it sounds like some people got some lemons, I feel fortunate that my car seems to have been built solid and with no problems so far. In fact, it still drives and rides like it did the day I bought it.

I have a 1999 Alero and when I am parked and put the shifter into park the lights go out automatically.
