When first purchasing my car I was a little hesitant because I have never owned Chevy before. After having in just a couple weeks I fell in love with my car. It gets great gas mileage, which is important to me because I commute 40 miles to and from work daily. Knock on wood, over two years later I have had no mechanical issues with the car. The only problem I have run into was flat tires, which was not the fault of the car or the brand. I would say the only issue I have run into is that because the interior is black, it gets very hot. And when using the A/C on high, it takes a while to cool off. But, that is a minor issue for me.
