Most Reliable Car I've Owned

Such a reliable car with 149,000 miles on it. Just the right size, good pick up for the engine, nice handling, large trunk, very good mileage (30 mpg), and has aged well. A few wear and tear items fixed over the years which were reasonably priced being an American auto maker product. Too bad Chevy replaced it with the Cruze and now discontinuing that sedan as well.

Lots of issues when getting close to 100,000 miles

Overall it has nice features and i like the tires pressure sensors on top of good mpg. I dont like all the fuel injectors that broke on me and having a cracked cylinder after 90,000 miles. If you get it for a cheap price I would say buy it and run it into the ground. Do not but hundreds to thousands into it for repairs, more issues will follow.

I had higher hopes

It is well designed, comfortable car. The interior is well laid out. The cruise control is in a very awkward spot. I've had the car less than a month and have had to replace the starter

Excellent car for the money

Excellent gas mileage, very dependable, very few problems. Great car for short or long trips and for running errands. Has good power for a compact with a four cylinder.

Very under appreciated sports coupe.

Such an excellent little car. It?s fast with great gas Milage. You can?t go wrong with that. It?s a shame they don?t make them anymore. However they were built cheap though. Cheap plastic in the interior and squeaks & rattles here & there but no too bad.
