Being female I feel I got screwed on this one. I got an beater that was filthy and smelled terrible while the Chevy dealer took a week to fix it. I guess they did not realize I am already a Ford girl! I will not be purchasing another Chevrolet when my car dies. This one just happened to be all I could afford when my last car died.
