Pontiac unveils 2007 Solstice GXP

[mikeyb]

I wish my seat problem was that easy. they replaced the frame 10 times, and "shimmed" them 7 other times. I never understood what they meant. I think it is like "rigging it to work until you leave the dealer". I thought I was alone. lots of complaints with the GMC Sonoma and S-10 extra cab trucks around 2000.

My truck was a "Certified Used GM Vehicle". That meant lemon laws did not apply.

My cousin had a 04 Blazer ZR2 that had similar problems with the drivers seat. He traded it after 6 months of owning it. He paid almost 30K and they gave him 18K for it. He now drives a 05 Nissan Xterra SE.

my Sonoma was worth 24K when I bought it, 1.5 years later...$8K. I watched myself go upside down by the thousands every month. Had to spread the $6K difference in what I owed when we got the Mazdas. Yes we paid a lot. Yes we got screwed on financing. But we do not feel like we are risking our lives driving the damn GMC truck. I just hoped the next owner found all the records stuffed where the jack was supposed to be stored, and then torched it.

Is there a rollbar for it yet..........One that is track acceptable......

Not yet, but I know of a few that are in the works.

You obviously dont know that much, here's a picture I have for when I troll the WRX and RSX forums:

Well looky at that, 4 of the 6 are IMPORTS.

I was using real life experience of my and my friends. Sorry if my real life experience does not match up with your picture. To say I do not know that much is kind of funny. I hope you bought my old Sonoma.

I can now say I found an American car that is not like the other vehicles the manufacturer currently has out there, and one I would even consider buying, if it looks like this in production:

Im gonna have to side with raider on this one....I too owned an srt4 for 2 years. It was my first domestic car, and I had my fair share of dealer visits. Don't get me wrong I loved the car, it was a blast! But part of the reason I sold it was the constant worry of something else happening to it. Before the srt I owned two honduhs and now the mazduh, I never ran into the kind of problems i ran into with the dodge. You on the other hand probably dont have my luck...

Actually, my wife had a Dodge before we got married. If it was not parked facing uphill, the engine and transmission oil would pour out overnight. A spare case of each was in the trunk. It had the 1990's paint falling off because they did not use primer Big 3 problem. Eventually the freon fell out of the compressor, headliner held up with pushpins, and unable to go more than 65 mph, we left it with her dad 2 weeks after the wedding. We backed it into his driveway, facing downhill. It never did have any major safety related issues, just a lot of stuff breaking.

My mom's 1990 Chrysler was recently pulled out of their garage by a tow truck and winch. The ignition fried, thinking it was in gear, and would not start. However, it left a charge to the starter, that overheated it, frying that too. $600 to repair that and the fried wiring to the starter. Here it is being yanked before going to the stealer. They get their Prius in a couple weeks. The Concorde is for sale for $4K in the South Bay Area of CA. Lots/all repair and maintanence records are kept.

well at least you admit you are a troll.

according to the federal government's safety tests, a Mazda Protege ranks 4 to 5 stars across the board in all crash situations. a Dodge Neon of the same year never exceeds 4 and ranks 3rd in several categories. i guess therefore the Protege is a better car.

according to the government's own records, the Protege has more technical service bulletins issued for it than a Dodge Neon of the same year. i guess therefore the Neon is a better car.

i own an 02 Protege and an 03 Neon. the Protege has not once been in for maintenance, failure or repair. the Neon has spent 1/4 of the time we have owned it on a rack at a DCX dealer having all sorts of s*** replaced, more often than not being replaced twice. i guess therefore the Protege is a better car.

lesson for you; empirical and intelligent research means not trusting one lone source before shooting your uneducated mouth off. i guess to quote you, "you obviously don't know that much."
