I am glad that you are happy with your car. You state in your review that,"it has been completely reliable",after stating several things that have gone wrong with the car, all before, or around, thirty thousand miles. Is that what you call reliable? I purchased a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am Se, brand new, with automatic transmission, A/C, ABS, traction control, a 16 valve 150hp engine, etc. etc. for under $15,000. I have at least thirty thousand miles on my car. Mostly these are rugged miles in stop and go traffic. So far the only thing that has gone wrong with the car is that, shortly after purchase, the ABS light went on. The dealer fixed it. During my annual inspection, my mechanic adjusted the brakes and replaced a light bulb. Oh yes, GM issued a recall on my car. It had something to do with the turn signal. My dealer fixed it-no charge, even though the part didn't even malfunction. It still runs the same as when I first purchased it. It has had near zero maintenance, except for oil changes and tire rotations every 7500 miles, and change air filters at 15,000 miles. THAT is a reliable car. I feel that you should set higher standards for the vehicle you drive and depend on. As Lee Iaccoca himself said in one of his ads, "you don't buy a new car to have problems".
