"Nice job Pontiac!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Buckle on one of the rear seat belts had to be replaced.

General comments?

This car is surprisingly comfortable, very practical, good looking, reliable and economical.

Hauls people and/or "stuff" very well.

Gets about 32-34 mpg on a trip and will cruise comfortably at 80 mph all day.

I was going to add the same exact comment. All Pontiac did was glue and upside down arrow on the hood and brag about how good it is. Good luck getting any work done at the Pontiac dealer.

Mr. Goodwrench hasn't botched anything on my 2003 Vibe yet -- how can you screw up an oil change -- but when I went to get a rear wiper blade the rude, pimply kid in the parts window wanted $27.

Mr. Toyotawrench being right across the street, I went over and checked out the same part for the Matrix: 4 bucks.

The very helpful and elegantly uniformed Service Manager came out and showed me how to replace the rubber part while re-using the metal part. And he knew I wasn't even a Toyota owner.

And that is why Mr. Goodwrench will soon be Mr. Bankruptwrench.

Yup, called up my local Chevy dealer to ask them how much an oil change was for my new Aveo. They said $50 plus disposal fee. GM and its dealers want to extort as much money as possible from their customers before they all go down in flames.

Who goes to the dealer for an oil change?
