Not liking the Catera seems pretty common among those who work on them 
occasionally. If you get familiar with them, they're not bad. Owners (unless 
they've had an out of warranty timing belt experience) tend to really like 
them. My wife drives one, and I see a couple others in the shop now and 
then. They really are a nice little car, but yes parts are expensive.

Of course, I have another 'hated' GM car, the Trofeo.
