General comments?
This car has to be definately the best car GM ever built. With the 3 speed trans and the 3.1 engine. Both were built great. That engine will run to over 300,000 miles if taken care of, and the transmission will out last anything. It's a 3 speed, it will last forever.
It's a very fast car. I beat a ford explorer with no problem. This car is very reliable. I put 13k miles on it in 6 months and it still runs like a new car. This is the car to get if you need a dependable car.
She's so beautiful. All black with nice rims and tires.
Now we all know that GM's 3.1 engines are known for oil leaks. Now pay attention. I had one and it look like it was about 5 oil leaks. The main thing is an o ring. Where the distributer used to go there is a oil drive o ring. It cost a quarter and labor is about 150 to 200. Tuffy did it for me for 90 bucks 'cause they know me pretty well. But all in all this car would take you to Europe if there was a road to go. Great on gas and the acceleration is great. Good job GM for taking the time to build a great car that outlasts the new ones.
