Still have my 1988 Ford Festiva.
Back in 2011-13, I was trying to get a good price on a Chevy Eco Cruise. Kept seeing the Volts on the Chevy lots & saying those are OK cars to look at. They were way outta my price range. Eventually, the Chevy dealer wouldn't sell an Eco Cruise to me for my price. I told him what I could buy Hyundai Elantras for, altho they got less MPG. He told me to buy it. So I did. Best advice a car dealer ever gave me. We now have 2 Elantras with 145,000 total miles & nothing has ever gone wrong with either one. Both the automatic & manual transmissions have often got over 40MPG..... the auto, once, while ascending a 3000+ foot mountain pass & the manual, twice, while passing over a 4000+ foot mountain pass, in both directions.
Sorry for all your troubles...... but I believe I also have avoided the same or similar problems you have, if I had bought Chevy.
