I've had one GM vehicle in my life. It was given to me by my grandfather when he got too old to drive. A Buick Century sedan. I got it when it was 8 years old and had only 70K miles on it. The molding on the driver's door started peeling back and getting in the way of the door operation, so I epoxied it back down. The light in the glove compartment would stay on when the compartment door was closed, draining the battery over a day or two. So I removed the bulb. The electrical connections located underneath the glove compartment were loose, and if the passenger accidentally kicked that panel, the car would die immediately. Wiggling the wires around and pushing the connections together would let it start up again. At about 85K miles, it needed a new engine because several seals were leaking, and I actually got it rebuilt for some reason. Then about 10K miles later, the transmission went. I actually got that fixed too. It was then that I started shopping for a new car.
I can say that the Buick was very comfortable on long road trips. You could easily sit in that car all day on the road and not be in pain when you climbed out. Other than that, it was a piece of garbage. I will never buy another GM vehicle (my Geo Prizm is technically a GM, but that doesn't count.)
