Re: Looking for new car

Actually, these cars are really reliable, IMHO partly because the basic design remained in production long past the point where it was a competitive design. (and thus all the bugs were removed long ago).
If you are familiar with GM's front drive platforms you should feel right at home.
They may not quite have the refinement of an Accord but they are cheap to buy and are reliable.

Go for the 3.8 V6. The base 3.4 seems to have some intake manifold leak issues.

Be sure to always torque the wheel nuts with a torque wrench to manufacturer's spec to avoid warped rotors.
