Put it in M1......stays in that gear (tach way past normal shift point)....needed to upshift to M2.....M3.....M4...M5....and finally M6.
HAD to shift as normal shift points were surpassed on the tach.
Downshifted using paddles and came to complete stop.
Put it in Drive..and hit the paddles.........paddles do nothing.
As far as limited slip rear end- couldn't tell you about that one. I suspect its a "peg leg" rear end.....seeing as the gearing is altogether different....and there's nothing on the spec info or MSRP sticker to indicate that is has limited slip.
The lower grill? Its an odd-ball for sure. Hardly any opening in it.
It currently gets 32 mpg on the freeway with the tires at 30 psi (for ride)
I'm raising the pressure on the tires (like I did on my Cobalt) and I should gain a few mpg that way.

32mpg sounds awesome! do you stay in the 55-60 mph range?
