The manual '16 2SS hands down. It's all subjective personal opinion... but I enjoy driving a manual more than an auto, plus on the '16 manual you get the rev match feature which makes downshifting a no brainer. AND you get the extra features of the 2SS trim level. Easy choice for me.

*********************
I love manual shifting but... more importantly is if this is your daily, think about your normal driving conditions/environment. I have both a manual and auto. When I moved to Atlanta, my commute to work did not hit very much stop and go traffic. When I changed jobs, my route changed and now I am stuck in major stop and go traffic. This plays havoc on a manual clutch over time. Had to replace the twin disc clutch assembly shortly thereafter. So, I garage the manual and I bought an auto just for that specific reason. Would I rather have a manual, yes. I absolutely hate the automatic constant up and down shifting and wind up using the tap shift 99% of the time to hold a little lower gear to help keep the engine rpm more constant. 2SS trim is also a definite consideration unless you are like me and planned on changing out a lot of the interior anyway.

Good luck on your decision and either way you go, you will be getting a great car!

The only flaw is the location of the On-Star antenna for the coupe model, IMHO it should be mounted on the rear lid like with the convertible. It just looks to me to be out of place & takes away from it's sleek silhouette. Too bad that antenna location wasn't a factory option...not going to be an simple task to relocate.

The way the seatbelt digs into my neck, and I'm not that short (5'10"). The positioner on the seat is stitched in at the top and has a weak azz magnet on the bottom, so it always just pops open and NEVER holds the seatbelt down so it just hits on my shoulder, it rides a bit higher than the crease on my neck and my shoulder ... irritating as hell.

I've gotten used to the cup holders, don't use the visors much and I know about how fast I'm going depending on what gear I'm in at the time. Plus I don't really have much of an issue seeing the tach, or speedometer (other that when I first got it because the positioning is backwards from other cars).

Otherwise I love the car ... V6 and all.

I would have to say the L99 engine. GM/Chevy should have put the LS3 in the autos as well. Also, the rs gauges location.

There's really nothing major I can think of that I actually hate. I disliked how quiet my SS was stock but I must there delete took care of that. I wish it was a ZL1 or Z/28 haha but that's this poor boy's fault not Chevys
