i had a cavalier Z24 in canada for 4 years and it ran very well.

although the resale value is still not there.

chevy has a sale now so at present it's trailblazer or nativa - i think the other japanese ones (nissan, honda, toyota) are either more expensive or have less options.

i'll do the rounds this week and see.

how are maintenance costs - someone told me american cars are expensive to maintain here.  any truth to that?
