Faults:

Not a good investment car.

The timing belt broke without ANY NOTIFICATION. This has become a true NIGHTMARE. No one can fix it at a reasonable price. They are asking about $3,500 to put in an older motor.

General Comments:

Interior is quite sturdy.

Front passenger door became loose. Would stay open on its own. The support broke after 5 years of use.

Faults:

I have a faulty check engine light that came on when the car was only about three years old, and the car was checked and and found to have nothing wrong with it. The light occasionally came on over the next couple months, and then just stayed on permanently. There never was anything wrong with the engine. Just a faulty light.

I have also found that the paint is wearing off the interior handle of the driver's door. This is only after about 5 years.

General Comments:

The car is very dependable, has power for a small car, handles well, steering is great, and the visibility is excellent out the back windshield (I have the hatchback). It's also very convenient for carting things around.

This car has received regular maintenance, following the service schedule, and beyond regular servicing, I have never had a single problem with it. I have underground heated parking, so maybe this helps with the winter as well. Every night the car is underground.

I just replaced the battery 2 months ago - the original battery was still in the car after 7 years. The CD player, automatic windows, everything still works and has never had a problem.

I know people with more expensive vehicles that have had all kinds of small things go. I have been very happy with this car. It has gone beyond my expectations.

Faults:

Had to change brake rotors at around 70,000 kms.

Putting sway bar links on both sides at 80,000 kms.

Have the check engine light on for an emissions leak that I can't find.

General Comments:

Very sporty little car, that is easy on fuel.

I love driving it; find it quick and easy.

Haven't had to do to much work to it, other than a little wear and tear stuff.

Had brand new winter tires on it last winter, and it drove amazing in the snow.

Would definitely recommend, especially if you don't have a lot of money, and you want a nice vehicle; just make sure you keep everything serviced.

General Comments:

31.1 mpg so far in regular driving. Not good in high winds.

Very easy to park, and entry and exit of the vehicle is great.

Good looks.

Could be quieter, but for a cheap car, I like it.

Plenty of power for a small engine, steers easily.

Overall, a good car for the price, very comfortable.

Like the hatchback for hauling stuff, really handy.

In the daytime it's hard to see the gauges, they're set in too deep.

Faults:

Brand new car, door locks freezes every winter.

Tires went at 40000km.

Thermostat goes at every 10000km.

Serpentine belt went at 40000km.

Hood switch went twice before 20000km.

Seat belts sticks at 10000km.

Front speakers went at 20000km.

Front brakes at 40000km.

A/C at 10000km and at 30000km.

Loud popping noise at 5000km, which still cannot be diagnosed.

Transmission sticks in 2nd gear at 5000km in the winter, still hasn't been fixed.

And many more problems.

General Comments:

This is my first GM vehicle, and NEVER again will I be buying a GM product. It is the worst vehicle I've ever owned.

GM dealerships suck also in their Customer Service. No wonder they were going out of business, they should have!
