I feel bad for the OP too. I was in the same boat not having found this site before I bought my STS on impulse and paid more for it. Over time I came to accept the fact that I would likely face HGs sooner or later and sure enough I did. The difference is that I didn't just dump mine and tell everyone here they're a bunch of junk-driving dolts, nor did I whine about crappy GM engineering and/or quality control. I've owned enough cars to understand that they're all junk one way or the other. I'd still rather WOT my N* than cruise in a Corolla.
