mydreamcar · 12-07-2009, 07:59 PM

can't stop driving it

Can't stop cleaning it

Can't stop looking for ways to modify it

can't stop admiring it

can't drive slow in it

Visibility is bad, even for a Camaro.
Cup holders on the M6 are positioned to be right in your way when shifting
Summer tires only forcing you to by all seasons or snow.
Short list and nothing major hope it stays that way.

Love it...If I had to list 5 in my 2SS

1 - No spare
2 - Hard to judge backing up since I have no sensors
3 - No Nav
4 - No Pass mirror Auto Dim, I drive at night every day.
5 - Better Armrest

The blind spot issue all depends on one's previous car. I had a Crossfire drop top. With the top up, the whole back window was a blind spot (other than a tiny sized rear window.

My other complaint so far about my 2SS:

The worst gas cap holder ever designed. GM must have had 3 year old do the testing on the design. Bought an aftermarket mod to fix it, but the stock gas cap holder design is a real head scratcher.

Other than that, 3 weeks in, no complaints.

It takes a month or so to really get used to the lack of visibility. My clutch makes some noises when I depress it but I am taking it in for that. With that said the car is very cool once you get used to it's differences from most other cars. I am disappointed with the BA soundsystems lack of Bass, however you can buy a bass module and fix that right up if it bothers you. Yes, as others have mentioned, the cupholders should have been placed differently. The stock radio inter phase is lacking in features. Also the rearview mirror is too big on the 2SS, so get a 1SS..

Other than that. I've been flawless.

same thing happened to mine. I am contemplating taking it in for a replacement..

The complaints I can come up with I'm embarrassed to post because they're so niggling and small. Oh well, here we go anyway.

1. No power seat for the passenger/no memory of previous seat settings.

2. Sometimes it feels a little understeery and sluggish at slow speeds compared to other
cars I've driven.

3. Interior door handles are too low and oddly placed. I don't know if I'd be willing to put them in a different place if I could, though, as I really like the sleek door interior you see most of the time because of it.

4. Though I've gotten used to it now, the station changer on the steering wheel is a little sensitive to those of us with logs for fingers.

5. Blind spots. I worried about them when we picked up the car, but they're merely inconvenient, not dangerous, and they're nothing if you're used to driving something with truly restricted visibility like a truck with locks of stuff in the back.

Thanks

The only problem I have is that the gas cap hook doesn't hold the cap secure while filling up. Other than that I can't find any other flaws with the car as purchased.

Audioi · 12-07-2009, 08:39 PM

It appears the only real complaint is the lack of vision which is apparent when looking at the car. The rear park sensors will help for sure.

I could easily pick apart my C6 & A4.

I would like to hear more, sounds like a nice ride.

The SS (and only the SS) has a trunk too small for the 20" tire. A doughnut won't go over the Brembo brake system, either. There's a tire sealer and air compressor kit, and, of course, OnStar.
