Summary:
I had really bad luck with every car I ever bought. I decided to lease and I have not had one issue with this vehicle yet. I know it's only been a year, but several of my friends who also leased (volkswagons and acuras) this year have had their cars in the shop 4 and 5 times already. Yikes!!! I know it has limited power, but i live in a very mountainous area and i have never had a problem getting up hills. I have never towed anything though. Merging on the interstate has been fine too. On Star is the best thing on earth. I feel so safe knowing my car can be tracked where ever it goes. Onstar also monitors your car's preformance. Onstar sends you monthly emails instructing you when to take your car in. So, I have put 10,000 miles on it and I have only had to have ONE oil change. Which is awesome for a lease since you have to stay on top of it. My complaints are the material for the seats... when you don't get leather the other material is horrible with stains. I had a little spot that I tried to clean with water and the water left another spot. And then spot cleaner left another one. I have no idea how you are supposed to clean this material. And the trunk space is really small. The vehicle appears to be larger than what it is. It's So easy to park and I run over curbs and stuff all the time with no problem! I get about 17 mpg which I think is great. My crappy Izuzu got about 10. I am so happy with this car. I am really impressed so far with the quality. Even though I have almost a base model, it feels so solid to drive. I just hope they don't try and screw me at the end of the lease.
