Own this sporty coupe almost 16 years and counting...without much of maintenance. The odometer is now around 125,000 mile. The 3rd year of ownership had the original fuel pump replaced at a dealer and was told it's a common problem (it sometimes cause idle problem). The new model fuel pump was put in place of the original one and lasts until now. Gas mileage is rather good until these days for OHV engine without variable valve timing assisted. The bottom line is...this car is reliable and dependable (once the common known problem was corrected), good road holding (better than I thought it would be) especially in heavy rain. In a windy day the car is impressively stable. Acceleration is quite impressive in spite of being shy of horsepower (with relatively high torque for the normal engine) and still get good gas mileage. The other thing is the body painting is good quality and still shinny (bright red).

it does have ok acceleration but it needs more. there is a couple blemishes that need to be done to the body but overall its nice. the exterior styling is good, wish i had a spoiler tho. gas mileage could be a little better but i cant complain about 24mpg, maintenance is no issue. the car is a lot of fun to drive.

Have had no problem with this vehicle other than normal wear and tear

I have had this car since it was new and it performs OK, but some of the newer 4 Cyl (like the Cobalt) blow it away. I have 160k on it and still get 34 Mpg on the Highway. Can't complain about that.

great starter car, good fuel economy easy to work on and cheap to repair. could use more power. insurance is low and parts are aboundant. its is a safe and fun entry level vehicle. and mine had a sunroof which was a nice touch
