I was looking for a used commuter and found my 2005 with 13k km on it. The car is loaded except ABS

What I liked and still like:

- pretty good acceleration given their predecessor (Metro and Firefly)
- lots of room for a small car both for Cargo and people
- the warranty, althought the 5 year GM powertrain warranty is a joke. Apparently things bolted to the engine like O2 sensors, timing belts, and water pumps are not considered "powertrain". Give me a break. When I was still under the 3 year/60,000km warranty, everything was fixed, no problem.

What I don't like:

- extremely inconsistent fuel mileage - I bought this car as a commuter, so this is a big deal to me
- the car has been plagued with TSB's and recalls. I've had two Chev Silverados and not nearly the problems I've had with this car. Thankfully, I had a good dealership that address these
- terrible brakes - rear drums lock up when the brake dust from the organic shoe lining mixes with moisture. I've skidded through intersections in the winter because of this.

Bottom line, if there were lemon laws in Canada, this car would have been gone a long time ago.
