Most Reliable Car I've aowned
Only required regular maintenance. Never broke down. Drove from 20k miles to 190k miles. Took long trips in it. Very smooth on road. Has power and excellent steering. Hold the road. the vehicle is hard to drive in snow and rain. It sits very low to ground so must be careful.- Purchased a Used car

Good platform for a performance build
Great car. LS motor and t56 transmission are a great combo. As most older cars improvements can be made to the suspension. Fun to drive and build over time. Nice combination of old and new.- Purchased a Used car

Fun, Affordable, Timeless Style
I bought a 2001 Trans Am 5.7L Automatic in 2009. The paint wasn't perfect, but looked great despite some clear coat loss on the front bumper. The design of this model has yet to look "old" to me, and it still catches the same attention now that it did the first day I drove it home. The interior (dash, doors, and seats) are sun-damaged- Purchased a Used car

GM Junk!
Not very well built. NO MORE GM cars. My wife's 1999 Camaro is not any better. My Ford Explorer Sport Trac has twice the mileage and is way better built.- Purchased a Used car

Great car on gas and to ride in
This car is wonderful on gas, especially when set on cruise. The seats are so comfy and the design is perfect for such a sporty car. Plenty of room in the back and the trunk. The heater and A/C work perfect. No problems with anything and its the most comfortable car I have ever driven.- Purchased a Used car
