I hate how it's a point where there's a bunch of things that are needing to replaced (tires, struts, etc.) yet I love working on it. I love the way it looks when it's clean from about 30 feet away, but I hate being close to it and seeing all the imperfections. I really just love driving the thing, I haven't been home to drive it in about 3 weeks now and I'm really missing it.

BTW, if you have the same problem, a tire pressure gauge works wonders getting the key out. theirs a button under the steering collum that realeses the key if it gets stuck in the ignition. Thanks to boosten to told me that handy-dandy piece of information!

I'm gonna go mostly with the first post macgtp, my favorite thing would be how good of highway mileage I get (between 30-36 at cruising speeds). I like how much roomier it is than my old 3rd gen firebird. It's just generally comfortable, powerful, turns some heads, but doesn't totally attract the cherries. I also love how all of my students want to steal my car even though it's probably worth less than most of all the cars in the lot(although working where I do, maybe that's a bad thing because they're only half kidding)
I don't like the electrical issues I've had, and keeping that black looking clean is such a pain. I hate how hot black leather seats get in the winter.
lino has it right, i have not having more money to spend on it right now
i would say for me it's 80/20 love hate, but it only has 80K, we'll see how that changes in another 30-40K....

I hated that within two weeks of buying mine, I saw 3 cars identical to it. That is when I ordered new wheels, painted my grilles & calipers, tinted the windows and did silver badge overlays.
I like the MPG, roominess, ease of maintenance, cheap cost of parts and maintenance info I get here.
I love the bullet proof 3800 that uses no oil after 149,000 miles and goes 7500 miles between synthetic oil changes.

Good things....the looks, comfort, ease of driving, comments from passers-by (who can't make out what car it is here in the UK).
Bad things....dumping it's coolant on the floor 3 days after I picked the car up, niggling design faults that GM couldn't be bothered to sort out, paying twice as much for parts to ship them across the pond (my fault, not the cars!!!)
Despite all these pros and cons, I still wouldn't be without it; it's a great car!

Hi !! I use to love the response in the highway, for a 200 hps car I think that was very good, this is a Highway car, everything feels and works great there, mileage, suspension, power, confort... It has one of the bests looks I've seen, the body, the front end are awesome and with a few mods it realoly is a car of another level. I didn't like the issues with the tranny and dash and other interior mplastics could be better. I MISS MY F%&%$# car. ![cheers cheers](/forum/images/graemlins/default/cheers.gif)

I love the styling, power, mileage, HUD, red dash lights, ease of repairs and parts availability.
I hate it because its the same old BS for mods and everytime you do something out of the norm your considered a ricer and get ridiculed for it.
