Well said. Mid 2000 era cars are rubbish in my opinion. It's like they knew the late 2000's recession was coming, and cost cut accordingly.
This will back fire on them however. A brand's name is damaged beyond measure through word of mouth with this type of thing. A lot of people will remember getting reliability and longevity out of older cars, (80s, 90s) but in more recent years some cars have quickly become throw away like an old obsolete computer.

I recently was handed back our family G6 that has been handed down from my oldest to youngest daughters. From the first month til now it has been a work in progress. The list of things I have fixed are: coolant crossover tubes on the upper and side of the motor, rear springs that snapped, 3 wheel bearing assemblies, front struts, front brake hoses that plug up, driver's side control arm, transmission hard lines, alternator, ground wiring to the block which shocked me how thin the copper in the wiring was, rear window because the defogger burned, oil filter adapter(leaked), front headlight wiring inside of the assembly(stupid design).
Other than that it keeps on going with 305K miles.

The Pontiac "G5" is related to the Cobalt and not the G6 on review.
