Not highly impressed with the Boston stereo system. Its descent but for the price and for it being Boston acoustics I just expected a little more. Ive always had aftermarket stereos that sound awesome for about a thousand bucks. Other than that this car is everything I expected and more.

My front door speaker blew 4 months ago and i still haven't got a new one. Other than that i love it, but for real what is taking so long for the dealer to get a speaker?

Just had a hellish weekend of snow up here in the Great White North. Around these parts "all seasons" = spring/summer/fall tires. A friend of mine attended 17 collisions on Friday (Calgary police) during our blizzard. In ALL of the wrecks, the offender had "all seasons" on his vehicle.

I repeat it enough to my local friends, if it snows, buy snow tires. Or "winter tires". All seasons just don't cut it.

1.) Interior door panel plastic is cheap and I have accidentally put a scratch into it while climbing in/out

2.) Analog Speedo- the needle is too wide and I cannot accurately gauge what my precise speed is. Also it is on the wrong side... I'm used to speedo being on the right side and tach on left.

3.) Visibility is poor, but you get used to it.

4.) Passenger seat cannot adjust up

5.) Clutch pedal was stuck once when I was trying to launch... wouldn't come up. I don't like that.

Legitimate and Honest Issues -

1. The paint peels easily.

2. TSB's and potential issues are not pushed down to the dealers quick enough, which results in a drawn out process through GM Customer Care.

3. My Remote Start on my key fob is erratic, and sometimes it works a football field away, while others, I can stand right next to the car, smash the button 15x, and nothing happens (L99).

4. Users must perform a Fuse Pull to fix the Octane tables in the vehicle (L99).

5. The stock exhaust makes the car sound ultra wimpy.

6. Passenger seat is low to the ground and not adjustable. This results in people in the 5 1/2 foot range feeling like a "Little Person".

7. Other than 6 issues that are easily fixable, the car is AWESOME.

It's not the tires, people just can't drive in the snow... I learned to drive in the 60's and never bought snow tires and never had an accident in the snow and never got stuck. Before front wheel drive and before many 4 wheel drives there were not nearly as many accidents as today... but today people just don't know how to drive in the snow, especially if they drive front wheel drive cars or 4 wheel drives, they feel they are unstoppable.. then they find out they can't stop...and even having snow tires won't help that.

The only thing I have found out that I don't like is it only goes 148mph which most of the time is awesome because I only did that once when it was about 3am and I had a wide open highway to mash on the gas and no other car was on the highway at that time. I thought it should go 160 but it is only a 6 banger so at least I know it can get up faster than I need to be driving 99/9 percent of the time.

No complaints from me. Just like any car you have to get used to backing, parking, and changing lanes. Once you driven it a little it's not a problem. OnStar nav. is great. Sound system is great. After 6 months I'm still getting lots of looks and comments. Love the car.

I've had my car since June and here are what I observed. It could be different for others:

1.) Cheap Plastics on the inside. They could have used better material on the inside and a leather covered parking break lever would have gone a LONG way

2.) Creaking. I have creaking in the dash area when going over certain bumps. It doesn't happen all of the time.

3.) Rattle in speaker passenger side door

4.) 4 stars out of 5 stars for a crash rating. Come on GM, for a brand new car, anything lower than 5 is really unacceptable.

5.) Should have had larger than 245 tires on the front. Come on GM, for the weight of the car, 245s don't cut it

However, the PROS really out weigh the cons and you can fix some of the items I listed above. Really for how much the car costs, you get a hell of a deal!

From the outsdie the car has killer looks and under the hood, the engine is potent.

Its an awesome car!! At first you notice the visibility, but anyone who can drive can easily compensate for it. After a day or so, you don't even notice. Someone keeps complaining about the door locks but I can't for the life of me even figure out why you need them and who cares? It is built tough, I just took out a huge 10 point buck and only suffered minor body panel damage. I only have 1 complaint. You can't drive the 6 speed with anything in the cup holder!! I gotta have my Mt. Dew but I'm always sticking my arm in it!! Annoying but I'll get over it. Awesome car, well worthe the money!
