General comments?
Great car, very reliable engine and well built. I bought it with high Km and its been very decent. It was driven 700km without a working waterpump, rad, cooling fans, ac condenser after hitting a deer and it held up amazingly at 120km/h on the highway. Well built gm product, things that people are complaining about are maintenance issues which break down on any car. Its just wear and tear things. One thing this car has for sure is great fuel economy, could use better seats, but the premiere is very decent and its very well equipped. You guys should get a caravan to see the difference, these GM vans were built to last.
