Anyway I certainly couldn't call it "crap". Not a lot of character - but it certainly did the job well, and was almost fun in a gumboat sort of way.

Certainly no comparison to the junk that came out of Eastern Europe.

Rental car. Probably had less than 20k on it right? Give it time. When i worked for the big E the worst cars i ever drove (and being stuffed in a cuby all day counting #'s i voluntered a LOT) were mazdas & nissans. Those cars aged a lot quicker than the rest. You need about 4-5 yrs to see the crap come to the surface on a GM product.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
