Only getting 22-23 MPG on highway, and I baby it and never drive faster than 65.
I know a lot about cars and this one still fooled me. When my father and I test drove the car none of these problems were apparent, or visable. Now it seems like every thing that could go bad is going bad. I fix one thing and another goes bad. Don't buy one with more than 140,000 miles. at this point they become a money hole. I paid $2,000 for the car and have 2,300 in stupid repairs. The motor and transmission are fine, the only good design on this car. these cars will rust rapidly do to all the seams underneath and on the body. It is ridiculus. the car looks sharp, but really has a lot of problems. I wouldn't recomend them at all, even though they look great.
I continued to drive the vehicle further and it continued to incur problems. My transmission is starting to fail, I had the fan speeds working only on 5 problem, replaced the ignition switch to fix that, just a royal pain in the butt. Tomorrow I'm getting an 06 Grand Prix, they are much more reliable than this generation. I hope it goes well.
