Only one thing I can think of, and as far as I know, it's not offered, but it would be really nice to have memory seat settings for the driver and a 6-way power adjustable seat for the passenger. It is difficult for many passengers to see over the dash.

Zip. To be honest when its paid off i want to get the Z28 if it ever comes out. Some people talk about the sunroof i have a love/hate relationship with it. I love it adds light into the cabin and its great on sunny days but im now to crazy how it looks outside and you lose the amazing reverse mohawk. As a Canadian also atm if was in the market for one i would get one in the US.

I LOVE my car, BUT I bought it off the lot-inventory, I DON'T like the midnight grey wheels, as I WANT polished aluminum wheels. I would have gladly paid the extra $470 for them but that wasn't possible. They wanted FULL price, like $3000.

NO SWAP. same wheel but polished natural aluminum look.

Regret I didn't just buy an SS... I have a 1LT. I wanted IO trim, Sunroof.. alot of others. but because I didnt get an SS, i'll use the difference in money for mods =D

Other than the previously mentioned passenger seat a minor annoyance for me is that the gas filler is on the right side of the car. You have to use the "wrong" side of the pumps to fill up - unless you are in England or Japan. :(

There are a couple of other small things, but I like the car so much that I really can't think of them now.

Get the 2ss/RS and you will have nothing to regret that has it all.

gregus73 · 04-24-2010, 03:47 PM

my only regret is the sunroof, but I am about 6 feet, and have a long torso...so I would bump my head on the roof.

I'm going to order a 2011 in 3 weeks or so, and reading this thread gave me some insight as to what I should order. I'm getting an SS/RS but not the sunroof, (have them on both my cars now, never use them) and probably not the IOM interior as I'm afraid the orange will be too easy to stain. Also not going with the 21 inch wheels. Other than that, pretty much fully loaded

Just remembered another thing that I don't like - the location and length of the hand (emergency) brake. It is a little awkward to use. Perhaps should be on the left side and a little bit further forward and shorter. The G8 was there and much easier to use.

I am 6' 2" and adjust the seat pretty far back, but the brake still isn't in the right place. Most other ergonomics in the car are great.

I like it on the right side, you don't have to worry about dinging your door on/around the pump when you get out.
