Just wondering, a lot of these cars for sale are less than 5 years old but seem to have upwards of 90K miles. Any idea how long these things are supposed to hold up?

ive had mine since 28k its got 113k on it now ive had to do front brakes tires and sway bar endlinks with the normal fluid changes. i honestly see 200k easy out of my car. without any major repairs like motor or tranny and i have the base model crank windows and door locks so no stupid stuff to break there. might need struts at some point but thats all normal wear items. i get about 32MPG summer 29 winter out of a tank. mixed mostly highway driving. been a great BASIC mode of transport

You couldn't pay me to drive one of those stupid pile of shits ever again. I've never seen such piss poor engineering/build quality/attention to detail/general shittiness in anything like that.

Mine would TURN OFF when I was driving, just out of the blue. I would have to shift to neutral, turn it back on, then shift into drive. Dealer said "shrug" we cant replicate it.

I posted something in here earlier like a page long with shit that went wrong with it over the course of 3 years.

I had one as a rental (4kish miles) on it and it felt like it was running on 3 cylinders. Never again GM, never again.
