Paint is very crappy in general. Door handles chip really easy but the dealers did cover this under warrenty. Other then that, motors are solid, trans are solid, suspension isn't the greatest and it seems like they couldn't decide between sports car and family coupe. Its an awsome ride but I def wanted alittle more preforance in it at the same time. But, you can't have everything. The rear diff is the only thing that seems to fail in these cars but I don't think it is factory defective, I think it is because people are replacing the fluids, putting the wrong fluids in, or not putting the correct amout of friction modifier in it. I've had no issues with mine 52k miles. Julies 05 GTO had 4 diffs within the first 18k miles before she sold it. 3 failed withing 1000 miles and that to me means bad install or no fluid.
