Worst Car Ever

Awful. Oil problem.. doesn’t need changing just keep refilling. Revs up while parked in idle. It was to beat the othe other cars. Lights are going out one by one. Headlamp. Back lights . Coincidence or Lemon. I have a 2 year old daughter that I drop off every day. My mom prayed for us constantly.

Great Vehicle

This is an awesome vehicle. It has everything I need. It is spacious. I sit up higher while driving which makes it very nice in traffic. Love the remote start.

Making the next step in Auto Purchase

Car meets my current needs. Great Leg Room. Great Comfort. Great Sound and interior. Great Gas Mileage, for it's Class . Pleased with the color not being of the standard. Being able to sit a bit higher in the ride, was a new decision maker.

Comfortable but very unreliable

The car is great until it isn’t. It drives like a car but it’s built like an SUV. The problem is that it can’t go more than a month without needing an oil change and in the three years I’ve owned it it has had major engine work done to it twice, once within warranty, once without. Don’t expect GM to help you with this either, especially considering they’re aware of the oil consumption issue. If you have the money for frequent oil changes and the savings to deal with major engine issues then go for it. Otherwise stay as far away from this car as you can.

Need more driving time.

Only had for two days. So far so good. Grandson likes it . Drove car to school today. Seems high off the ground but, when I open the door to get out it's not bad at all.
