Are these reliable compared to imports?

Any car can be reliable, just depends on how the previous owner / owners took care of it.

Mike is right. Every car has it's flaws but that's what forums are for! The only thing you would want to watch out for is if has the 3800 series 2 that have a tendency to leak intake plenum gaskets and valve covers due to maunfacturing them out of plastic. but they are pretty easy to fix and not expensive. other than that they are pretty solid cars.
