| | The Ecotec 2.2L engine is one of the best features of this vehicle. I love the 360 degree air vents. It looks amazing in Electric blue. I am pretty much happy with everything about this car. I have had no problems so far and I hope this will continue. | | posted by Donovan on Dec 13 2007 | | |
| overall rating | | | value | | | comfort | | | reliability | |
