HI COCOATAN09XR, I did get your PM and it's good to hear from you and it is also good that your XR is purring right along :thumb: I got these tires http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...toMake=Saturn&autoYear=2009&autoModel=Outlook XR FWD&autoModClar=

So far I've got over 2K on them and they look just like new. I plan on rotating these every 3K to try and get bookoo miles out of them. I think I paid $841.00 OTD and I got a free Megellan GPS to boot that I'll give my oldest as she goes off to school.

Some owners just got great vehicles and some (like me 2X) did not, I don't know how many threads with Acadia's, Enclave's, OUTLOOK's and Traverse's I have read with owners who have major issues, too many to count, BUT, those are most of the ones that you see is the problem ones. COCOATAN09XR has an 09 OUTLOOK built 1 month after mine and his has been almost trouble free, see his post above. I don't know why it ends up like that but it does. But as far as Lambda's go for me and future purchases, I'm done. I hope now that I've bought the extended warranty mine stays trouble free.

I will say that the interior of my OUTLOOK (besides some wear on the leather seats) still looks great, I've got the carpet covered completely and the dash is always dusted, overall I'm happy with how good it looks.

Since my review I had the trans mount leak and replaced under warranty. Fingers crossed and :-X

What tming chain recall?
The one where they redo the OLM so you not going so many miles in between an oil change, this is to help keep the timing chains from streching.
