"A sports car with an extra large trunk"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission line broke at 20,000 miles, leaked out all fluid, had to be towed to nearest dealer and repaired under warranty.

One faulty tire at 5,000 miles, dealer sent me down the street to their supplier and fixed for free.

Faulty thermostat at 27,000 miles. Under warranty.

Brake sensor went bad at 32,000 miles, again no charge under warranty.

General comments?

A fun truck to drive with the combination of the 4.3 liter engine and the zq8 sport suspension package, pretty quick and handles tight.

This truck takes well to some of the reputable bolt on performance products out there such as aftermarket air intake systems and exhaust systems.

A good compromise to the Chevy Extreme because you get the same performance and suspension package with out the low rider, ground effects look.

I love my little 2002 ZQ8.

To me it it's just like its cousin the Corvette - minus large V8. It is a great truck to drive.

The only thing that went wrong was the AC compressor killed itself at mile 1500, left outer control failed and the driver's seat bracket broke apart at 71,000 miles.

Things that happen outside my control was some idiot plowed into me at 45mph and toasted my bed, tailgate and bumper at 64000 miles while it was parked in a parking garage. The frame was not damaged.
