Exclamation First 2 weeks with hyper blue 2 SS mostly great but not all

saw it loved it had to have it and have loved it so far.has had 3 issues so far .unacceptable i feel.deliver day the drivers side head light led strip went out within 2 miles.brought it to dealer .fixed one day. 3 days later the radio went crazy and crapped out.same one day fix. now i have noticed backing up a rubbing noise in front end.going back in monday. over all totally pleased with dealership. but reallistically 3 problems with 1 week.unhappy about that.

Now lets get to the good stuff. REFINED is the best word but really it is way more than that.gobs more TQ.i find myself shifting well before 3k.Super smooth power and suspension.Just feels like so much more of a refined higher end sports car.the shifts are 10 times better than my 14.the shifting combined with rev match makes this car a absolute blast to drive. interior laid out excellent. seats recline half of what they used to.thats a problem but otherwise just a great car.does it look like 45k.... i dunno that for sure. its still new. does it drive like 45k ... Absolutley. thats my .02

My husband is going to have to sand down the passenger side window because it has some burrs along the top where the person who hand worked it didn't sand it good enough. Over time, it will rub the window sill causing a problem. Thankfully, he worked as QC on the ramp up of the XLR Cadillac years ago, so he knows all of the trouble spots to look for on a brand new design.

Other than that, it is perfect at almost 500 miles in one week.

I fail to see your logic, they owe the car and have every right to bitch.

You are jealous, that is your problem

You bought an early build first year car. You are basically beta testing the car for GM. That's the price you pay for being one of the first people to have a brand new car.
