Real Sleeper
Excellent fit, finish, and materials. Performance and economy are nicely balanced; 3500 miles and already exceeding 30 mpg averages in highway driving. Variable valve timing gives power and economy. Handling is not on par with my 83 VW GTI, but it wasn't stock, either. Interior comfortably accomodates my teenage daughters and all their accoutrements. Bucket seats are significantly improved from previous year's versions. Fold down rear set is a convenient touch--and the seating doesn't suffer in comfort.
Disappointing SS
This car has all the horsepower and torque that Chevy boasts plus some. However, I'm severely disappointed in the multiple problems I've had with this car including the rack and pinion being replaced twice, steering shaft replacement, tire monitor problems and excessive oil consumption between oil changes. In my opinion, Chevy should have made this a rear wheel drive car. Being front wheel drive, it has too much torque steer. Also the brakes feel inadequate for the size and power of the car. I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone. As soon as I can, I will trade it in for something other than Chevy.
Poor Mileage
Love the way the vehicle drives. The gas mileage is bad. We can't get the mileage it says it's supposed to.
Falling apart
First year no problems. Now the front end needs work, passenger window squeaks like a banshee, front headlight lens leaks, driver's seat coming apart, side molding peeling like a banana. It only has 26,000 miles. Thankfully I have an extended warranty! No telling what will happen next. I might give GM one more shot.The future looks like a Honda
06 Impala lt
The is 2 yrs old, bought brand new off the show room floor. We have had it in for repair for steering, stereo stopped working, rear defroster, remote starter, gass leaks, oil leaks, and the car gets bad mpg. The factory rotors only lasted 1.5yrs before warping. Oh... And the struts need replaced.
