Review

The SSR is the ultimate convertible due to the fact of the one button automatic convertible hard top, the very, very spacious trunk, and it is so comfortable when exiting the vehicle. Unlike, the other convertibles that you have to lift yourself out of the car, the SSR is high enough that you just turn and get out. The body such as the fenders are solid steel, not fiberglass. That gives me a sense of safety if a collision were to take place. So much to say about this car/truck I love it. It is a real head turner!

Favorite Features

See above

Suggested Improvements

A solid cup holder would be nice. The SSR has two removeable cup holders that can be cumbersome.

Review

I first saw the concept car in a newspaper write-up in early 2002. After attending 3 car shows across the US, I knew I wanted one. I ordered Yellow. Took delivery in November 2003 and have been loving the truck ever since. Folks around still ask questions about it as there are not too many on the road. A certain kick to drive and be seen in!

Favorite Features

Love the power and roof

Suggested Improvements

Should have found room for a spare tire. I don't trust the pump and patch kit. I do carry a full size spare now.

I'VE DRIVEN A TRUCK FOR 40 YEARS AND THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING AND SHARPEST AND ATTENTION GETTING TRUCK EVER. I'VE HAD PEOPLE TAKE PICTURES, FOLLOW ME HOME AND ASK ME TO SHOW THEM HOW EVERY THING WORKS. I LOVE IT.

RETRACTABLE HARD TOP, STYLING, AND BOX OR TRUNK WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT

PUT A LITTLE MORE ROOM BY DRIVER SIDE DOOR SO YOU CAN GET TO SEAT BUTTONS EASIER

SSR Not for the shy person

Review

This truck is by far way ahead of its time. Like the PT Cruiser by Chrysler it has a nostalgic look about it. Reminds me of what a concept vehicle of the 50's would look like. Only they would have never been able to dream up that convertable hard top that stacks up and lays neatly between the seat and the bed of the truck. Turns heads everywhere it goes. If your shy don't buy this truck as every time you stop people want to talk to you about it

Favorite Features

The convertable hard top is by far my favorite feature. No other vehicle has anything close to the futuristic design

Suggested Improvements

The improvements that I would make to the SSR is to add more horse power. With the weight of the vehicle over 4700 lbs. in my opinion it should have a minimum of 350 hp. Also running boards should be standard. With out them you are sure to get a lot of stone chips on the rear fenders.
