A friend of mine owned one, in between several Corvettes. I don’t know what year it was I’ll have to ask him. But he said he liked it well enough.
My stepbrother also owned one at the time, I recall him telling me that the bad reputation was undeserved. Again I don’t know what year his was.
Somebody fact check me on this, I thought they made some of them with four cylinder engines. And for some reason I’m thinking that was part of the bad reputation because GM did not build good four cylinders.
My experience of these things are absolute pieces of crap...
Never owned one personally, but you brother did.. you couldn’t pay me enough to take one of these...
