bullet proof. BTW, 65K miles is quite low: I now have 108,000 miles and it's going strong. (My last new Saab I had for over 305,000 miles before selling it. And I just saw it on the road yesterday...) I will however advise that you aim towards any of the 4 cyl cars (especially turbo if you're performance minded) and avoid the V6. The 4 is more powerful, better at the gas pump and much more thoroughly developed than the Opel sourced V6.
Just my $.02. Hope that helps!
