Until the transmission falls out. I owned one in college. Took it in about a dozen times for various check engine lights, dealer refused to do anything about it. Tranny failed going uphill, spat fluid all over the highway. It was leased and was only a few months away from the term, so back it went. About 6 months later they issued a TSB/recall on a ton of transmissions because GM finally acknowledged that there was a problem if the transmission fails at 60k kms.
First new car I purchased, and the biggest POS I've ever driven. I had a rust bucket of a Buick Lesabre that for less than $1000, actually served me better.
Also, horribly under-powered.
(my apologies to anyone reading this that owns and likes thier vibe/matrix)
