I've had the '00 SSEi for four years now and here is the scorecard:
- 7 oil changes - w/Mobil One - 5
- Replace steering coupler - recall, no charge
- Replace On-Star module - recall, no charge
- Replace FR tire and wheel bearing - hit curb (don't ask) - 5
- K & N air filter -
- Replace cabin air filter -
Not bad for a "lowly" GM car. Obviously, I have front brakes and tires coming up in 8-12 months, but with towing a 1200 lb Waverunner/trailer combo I think the reliability of this car has been proven. At least in my book.
