2005 Pontiac Wave review from North America
"If you want an economy car, don't buy GM"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car speakers has always been wavering (in/out).
3 recalls on the vehicle.
Fan belt always loose (since the beginning).
Engine caught FIRE at 130,000 kms, but all but a few are highway kilometers. Never missed an oil change and all fluids were topped up.
General comments?
The Pontiac Wave, for the most part, is a decent car for the money, but MY car was a lemon and the dealership refused to do much about it. GM will NEVER get my business again.
