You do realize, that was written by GM, RIGHT?????

 

" Delivers Excellent Fuel Efficiency and Low Emissions in a Quiet, Reliable, Durable Package"

Sounds like me before I got married.

 

You and me both!

 

After years of driving Buick Roadmasters with the Corvette engine I thought I 'd never have any other car. Have a 09 HHR LT1 2.2 and frankly can't imagine a better performing car.

 

Performing how? Fuel efficiency? That Roadmaster had a cast iron LT1 right? That's a heavy mother... How was it? Almost got one for free, only problem it had what the famed Optispark issue Should have called the wrecker to bring it home. It was a wagon with the glass in the roof. I loved how it was, too bad the woman hated it.

 

For a 4 banger it sure has alot of pep, yes the fuel economy allows me to drive anywhere anytime without being worried about the price of fuel.by the way my Roadmasters got 25 - 26 miles on the highway

 

opti spark was a pain in the behind but summit and jegs sell a reasonably priced replacement still some work to change it. Those wagons were cool. Every once in a while I see an SS wagon someone has made, looks nice. The Ecotec is a very good motor.
