Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Quick folding convertible hardtop, street rod style, aggressive exhaust note, comfortable seats.
Cons
- Seats only two and yet weighs nearly 5,000 pounds, costs almost as much as a Corvette.
What’s new
Big news for the SSR -- more power for 2005. Last year's 5.3-liter V8 is ditched in favor of a 6.0-liter aluminum engine with 390 hp. Newly optional this year is a six-speed manual Tremec transmission with an Eaton limited-slip differential. Other changes include a new CD/MP3 stereo and gas struts for the hood.
Edmunds says
Combining the styling elements of a late-'40s Chevy pickup, the attitude of a muscle car and the fun of a roadster, the SSR is an entertaining answer to a question nobody asked.

The coolest car ever .

2005 Chevrolet SSR 2dr Regular Cab Convertible LS Rwd SB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
I have driven almost every exotic car being in the car business for many years, there is none as fun and as cool as the six speed SSR i bought from Freehold Pontiac. GM made the mistake of introducing the SSR with a weak engine initially, what a mistake! that is why this magnificent did not do well, they should remake the car with some upgrades and a 600 HP engine. and you will see that … it will outsell any convertible sport car out there, this work of art turns more heads than Ferrari and Lambo. It is such fun to drive that when you get home , you feel like going out again for another ride, now that is cool, how many other cars can you say that for? I hope GM is reading our comments.

2005 Chevrolet SSR 2dr Regular Cab Convertible LS Rwd SB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
The Interior is a bit stuffy, forget
about adjusting the driver seat with
the door closed. Cheap center console
lid, will redo in walnut.
Other than the above this thing is a
blast. Normal driving (if you can)
gets good results in miles per gallon.
Love the exhaust note, I should charge
chevrolet for advertising being I have
to show people of all ages the vehicle …
whenever I stop. So for I am pleased
with this vehicle.
If you buy this vehicle when you are
over 40 like me, get ready for the mid
life jokes there are coming.

2005 Chevrolet SSR 2dr Regular Cab Convertible LS Rwd SB (6.0L 8cyl 4A)
Biggest complaints: Road noise in the cabin. Also miss the temp/direction mirror like in my TrailBlazer LXT. My first sportcar and it's a head turner. Can be a nice docile little putt putt going to the grocery store, but stand on the pedal and you're rocking at 85 without a thought. Love the top, but I do have a paint wear spot on the passenger side.
