Overall the car has performed well and I have gotten over 180,000 miles on it so far. It is very reliable starting in the Minnesota winters. It provides a smooth ride for the mostly city driving I used it for. In earlier years, it was very comfortable on long trips. The seating is comfortable for a large person and can fit 5 people comfortably. Most of the normal maintenance can be handled by an individual without good mechanic knowledge or heavy tools such as battery replacement, front light replacement, tires and a few of the belts. The car has never shown any leaks or other equipment problems other than just normal wearing out. On a negative note, the rear lights, especially the reverse lights, require a major process to change. You have to remove and entire back plate to get to the lights and a 10 minute $5.00 repair is impossible on this. The computer sensors seems to have a problem as the car ages and it is giving 'false positives' on service issues in the car. The lights can be ignored but it does make for some nervous driving with numerous caution lights on the dashboard.

This is by far the best vehicle I've owned (having owned a Dodge and another Chevy in the past). The biggest issues I've had with it was just the tire pressure sensors going out/needing replaced. Beyond that, as long as you keep it maintained, this is going to be an all around solid car to own. It currently has ~140,000 miles and is running strong as ever! If you were to ever buy a used vehicle, this is a great option for anyone looking for inexpensive but reliable.
