Yeah, most Penn Staters tend to laugh when Pitt looses. I simply ask who one the last time they played? I'll have that one for years!!!

Sometime next week I'll hit 134,000.
I have never owned - no - I have never SEEN a car as reliable as this.
First, I am the car's original owner. I'm on my second set of tires, second set of brakes, second set of plugs, second belt, second rear transmission seal (the only seal I've ever had to replace), second passenger visor (oh, gee! Warrantee fix.), second driver window controls (another warrantee deal), first set of wheel bearings, first set of CVboots/joints, first transmission, first water pump, etc., etc. I've owned Fords, Chevy's, Dodges, VW's, Mitsu's, Nissans, BMW's, and others, along with about a dozen different motorcycles. The SVX is BY FAR the most reliable, and quite possible the most economical vehicle I've ever owned. Oh, there is one problem. Next week I'll be replacing my 27th (!) oil filter! I can hardly get three months out of the darn things!

Steve... how is the paint on the front of your car? Im beginning to think there was some sort of flaw in the paint process on my car... the amount of stone chips is INSANE!

You're right that the paint is pretty thin though. It doesn't take much of a pebble to take it off.

That's exactly my problem! I live right next to a quarry, and if i go anywhere its usually behind an uncovered truck full of stones. Glad im not alone

I won't go so far as to say that it's the most reliable car I've had, but it is very well-built and depandable. The 'flaws' Landshark quotes are arguable. The transmission is not one of them. Anybody who pays attention around here knows it's the cooling, not the transmission. And even stock they last a long time if you take care of them and don't thrash the car.

Same thing here. I have an 86 cavalier which had absolutly no stone chips on the original paint job. It even took getting hit by stones that were kicked up by a truck doing a burnout on a gravel driveway in front of my car... broke the headlights and the windshield, but didnt chip the paint anywhere.
