"The G6 looks good, drives well, feels nice, but has the usual UAW crappy build quality. The sliding/slatted roof leaks."
That can't be a big surprise to anyone - first time I saw it I knew that slatted roof would be a rattle and leak magnet. Wouldn't buy one with it. Pretty much indifferent about sun roofs, anyway.
The 500 I was attracted to mostly on the basis of its size, although I think it is also a reasonably handsome, conservatively-styled car. Certainly as much so as my Accord, anyway. Now, will it hold together as well in the long run, and hold its value, the way my Accord will?
eraser says that there's a new 500 revision coming soon, and he's right. Whether it will be any better remains to be seen.
The current model was a great disappointment. I took one for a test drive with only a few miles on the clock and the CVT transmission scattered itself. The second one I drove was a rental and it was pretty poor.
