A few rattles here and there. Had to replace the battery in February, but not surprising considering the -40 degree weather we were having for a few weeks. Other than that its been running super smooth.
Really impressed with the vehicle so far. The ride is very smooth with great accelleration for a 4 cylinder. Road noise is minimal and the stock monsoon sound system is beautiful.
Interior is very spacious, seats really comfortable especially during longer commutes, with more than enough room in the back seats.
I find the exterior of the SE1 is better compared to other grand am models without those strips running alongside the door panels.
The trunk is absolutely massive.
I was slightly skeptical going for GM, but I really enjoyed the service at the dealership.
Would definitely recommend.
10 000 kms, 2 oil changes, and one trampled raccoon later, still no problems with the car.
81000 km's now, still running fine through the winter weather, noticed a small hole on my steering rack at my last oil change which still hasn't leaked any steering fluid yet.
2.2 liter ECOTEC timing chain failure at 93000km.
I've heard that GM finally admitted a problem with these model engines but only recalled a small amount for 2001 Saturns!
If anyone has more info or updates on this please send to robkat1971@google.com.
104000 kms now and still running strong.
