I now have 50K miles on the same truck from the first year they started making this. I feel the same way.
My fuel log says that as of the last fill-up it has 266103 miles on it and averages 24.5 MPG.
My worst maintenance issue is that the right front turn signal seems to attract rocks. I've replace that damned orange plastic piece 3 times.
:)
Consider yourself fortunate. The right front fog lamp on my 2006 Matrix does the same thing, and you can't just "replace that damned orange plastic piece." You see, the lens itself isn't available as a replacement - the entire lamp assembly must be replaced at a price of over $300.
Clear plastic packing tape works wonders.
I was a loyal Pontiac customer for many years.
Today I drive an Asian brand car assembled in the USA
(in a Right to Work state). Living in Michigan for a
few years got me good and sick of hearing UAW guys, who have better pay and benefits than 98% of Americans, and yet who did nothing but bitch.
Mine too. I have to replace the entire turn signal assembly. Fortunately Toyota still makes my truck. It's called the Hi-Lux in foreign markets.
I can get the entire assembly for $35.
