Needed a new car, thanks to the VW TDI scandal and it just so happened to coincide with the elimination of my 110 mile round-trip commute. As a car enthusiast, I was looking for something fun to drive that also could haul the family in comfort. With fuel economy no longer a factor, I landed on the SS. My dealer couldn't locate a 6M in black, silver or blue within a 250 mile radius that also had the 20% off MSRP tag, so I ended up with an automatic. I was able to enjoy the summer tires for the first 800 miles before swapping them out for Michelin Ice Xi3 snow tires on 18" wheels. 1200 miles on the snow tires has been surprisingly good, and not all that different than my Passat TDI on the same tires. Of course the best part is firing up that big, throaty V8 and hitting the nearest on-ramp for a quick blast to 70+ mph. With the summer OEM tires back on, handling, braking, and acceleration instantly improved and I am enjoying this car every time I drive it. I have found the Performance setting to provide the best responsiveness for the automatic transmission and it handles excellent. Touring and Sport cause the auto to be very slow to respond on downshifts. With 2017 being the last model year for this modern day V8, RWD muscle car and fewer than 15,000 of these cars imported to the U.S. since the 2014's first came over, the opportunity to own a unique piece of Chevy history is running out. I'm very happy that I was able to pick one up and use it as my daily driver.

Just like the Corvette, this car offers more performance per dollar than anything else out there. For those of us that like having more than one person come along for a fun ride, this is an amazingly capable car.

The Chevy SS (Holden Commodore down under) is an amazing car. It can go to the track for some hot laps then stop by the grocery store on the way home. It's a very well integrated package of performance, luxury and utility/usefulness. The controls are firm, but they feel just right for this big car and it drives smaller than it actually is. The 415hp LS3 V8 is a gem, but it's thirsty as a daily driver, so far about 17 mpg. This car has less than year of production remaining as 2017 is the "last call". If you want a new one, better act quickly! Update! 10,115 miles now and the Chevy SS continues to impress. Problems have been limited to 2 screws in the tires, one of which was not repairable. Fuel economy continues to improve, a few tanks have been 19.0-19.5 mpg. The radio reception for non-satellite stations is not the best, had the dealer re-set the system, which did seem to help a little. The MRC drive settings (Tour-Sport-Perf) and the dual mode exhaust give this car multiple personalities. Each is unique and well sorted. Very few people know this car and it's nearly "invisible" in the daily commute, which is exactly the way I prefer. One time you will get some attention is at the gas station after a fill-up. When re-starting the car, the next guy next to you looks over and thinks......."that sure doesn't sound like a Malibu?" Update- 18,900 mi. One year in and still pleased with the SS. It drives as well now as it did when new and the fuel economy has been steady between 18.5-19.5mpg (70% hwy). The OE Bridgestone RE050A tires have been better than expected. They have great grip and have lasted longer than I figured? They only have a 140 tread wear so to make it to 20K is not bad. I plan on keeping this car for the long term, but will likely get a small 35-40 mpg. daily driver to try and keep some of the commuter miles off this car. Update - 27005 miles and going strong. Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires went on at 19,800 and they are outstanding. Smoother, quieter ride than the OE rubber, but still tremendous grip and responsiveness. Fuel economy recently has been steady at about 18-18.5. Wear & tear? The car is holding up pretty well. The interior, specifically the seats, are wearing much better than most GM cars/trucks. Would I buy it again? Absolutely. 4 years and 36K now on the SS and all is well. A 2012 Volt took over as a daily driver in 2018, but this car is always eager to run when called upon. More recently these cars are commanding very strong money, so in addition to being a great driving car, it's also a nice investment. The SS now has about 39K, so it's been a living easy the last several years. The car still drives great and as the years go by, fewer and fewer are seen, so if you want something unique, this is it.

My wife bought a mistress

My wife has had BMW's for over 16 yrs. Both 5 series; both manual shifts.. As an old high performance guy, i wasn't really on board with them (we met while she had one). But they are really nice cars.. But very costly to own. It came time to get a new car.My wife was insisting about a manual shift. But a 4 door sedan in a manual is almost impossible to find. Enter 2017 SS..She flat out loves it. Great quality, performance, ease of use, not a barge, and can be serviced anywhere at a cost much less. We bought it certified pre-owned. I've been using it, as she says take it anytime. She bought a mistress. It sounds awesome. It is quick, comfortable and handles well.. WE love it/..Note if you are looking for gas mileage first, not for you. It likes premium gas.. May look for another for myself. I'll never part with my FJ-Cruiser, but the mileage is creeping up.. May need a backup Finally: If anyone wants a 4 door Camaro, this is it.. ( It is a 6 sp., Manual..)

Even the smog guy was skeptical as I explained the SS PERFORMANCE SEDAN, UNTIL HE OPENED THE HOOD! Just a wonderful command of the road and other drivers, as they wonder what it is that’s moving along like a magic carpet passing by!

My favorite car ever

I would change a few things about this car. First the cup holder can interfere with shifting with even a modestly tall cup. Next, since I'm over 55 it sits a bit too low to the ground for me. That makes it hard to get out of the car at times, but the programmable seats can cure this a bit. Finally, the A-frame pillar occasionally obstructs the driver's view. I've almost had 2 collisions due to this factor. Otherwise, it's been my favorite car of all time. It's a real joy to drive. Great mix of power and it's somewhat luxurious. It's a real shame that 2017 is the last year for this great ride. Oh well, at least I'll have mine for as long as I want. I still get fired up at that exhaust note when I crank her up.

If you're lucky enough to find a manual transmission car, buy it! I traded in a loaded Camaro 2SS for my SS and three years later, I have no regrets. Fun car to drive and I love the mag-ride suspension. The car gets as much attention at cruise nights as a Ferrari and gets close to 30mpg on the highway if you keep it under 70. Lots of room in this car too, I'm 6'4 and 290lbs, an adult can ride behind me without my moving my seat up. I am pleased with how well the car has aged almost 5 years. The cost to own it is relatively low considering the resale value five years later is about 80% of what I paid for it and it’s only needed oil changes and tires. I’m still very happy with the SS. Update: 7 years old and worth what I paid for it new! The SS has been a great car for my family. I have about 24k miles on the car and no issues besides a few recalls as far as service. It’s been great fun owning the SS thus far and I’m sure these cars will be this era’s LS6 Chevell.
