Are you happy with your 1LS?

Hey all. I am soon to buy my first 5th gen and it is highly likely to be a black 1LS with the only option being the audio upgrade with the subs. Are you owners satisfied with the car overall?

I just picked up a 1LS this last weekend. Black. The car is fantastic, and even though the 1LS is the base model, it's well equipped.

This isn't my first rodeo in a 5th gen as I've had the privilege of driving an SS for a while. The 1LS is a great value, it's a lot of fun to drive. Unlike the previous 4th Gen F-Body where they just dropped in a bland V6 and softened up the suspension, the LS/LT cars definitely have more thought put into them (in fact, they are the majority of Camaro sales if I recall..) The engine and suspension feel well tuned, "dialed in" as they say.

I love mine! I honestly don't need a v8. I drive to work in the city and I get good enough mileage and power.

I've had mine for a little over a month and still am in love with it. It is just the base model, but it's still a nice car.

Ive had mine for almost 2 years now and I love it just as much as the day I bought it. The only thing that bugged me was the black steel wheels but the 2014s have alloys so you are good there. I dont think I'll ever get tired of this car.

I love mine, I think it's pretty well loaded considering it's a base model

I have a black 2LS and my god let me tell you love when it shines, BUT, it's 5x the effort to make it shine and ANY other color, be prepared to CLEAN THE HELL out of your car other than that, black is by far the best

Love mine, only thing I didn't like was the cheap rubbery shift knob. Ordered a factory leather wrapped one put it on now all is good.
