2005 Pontiac Wave 5 door hatchback review from North America
"Garbage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window of back door on passenger side exploded for no reason while someone was in the back seat.
Suspension problems twice.
Brake issues.
Constantly making squealing or grinding noises that the mechanics "can't find"
NO POWER!
General comments?
This car is terrible in my opinion. It's been in the garage more than enough. The dealership is terrible to deal with also. They have been no help. The car is pretty good with gas, though my automatic civic was MUCH better. The car has NO power going up hill or if you have any more than two people in the car. I have told many people to avoid buying this car. It's not worth the money.
