Let's start with the good news. I finally took delivery of Bella (15515, IBM 2lt rs beige, polished) on Friday at 4:47pm.

I haven't had a car since the beginning of February and after all the confusing information and delivery issues, I got her and she is amazing. Couldn't be happier with the color combo of the ibm with the beige leather, everyone is really impressed with the two tone interior.

The IPhone charger usb port is awesome, onstar is super cool and the hands free bluetooth is incredible. Having never owned anything nice before this car is so cool. Every time I walk out to the car I just laugh to myself because I can't believe its mine. Amazing, thanks to everyone at Oshawa and to GM.

And now the bad news...When I started her up Saturday morning the check engine light was on (15 hours after taking delivery). I immediately checked the gas cap (that wasn't it) and called onstar to do a diagnostic. She told me it was something in the engine control unit and although fine to drive, I had to take her back to the dealer asap.

Brought Bella in after work on Monday and it turns out I've got a bad camshaft sensor/actuator. My dealer is getting the part in tomorrow afternoon and hopefully I will get Bella back good as new tomorrow evening.

In the meantime I am driving a Nissan Versa loaner and let me tell you, even after two days with Bella, driving this POS makes me appreciate her that much more.

I'll update with pics when I get her back...

I am sorry to hear that, it always sucks when your baby is in the shop. Just out of curoiusity how did you choose the name?

Vash · 07-21-2009, 11:15 PM

Grats what a cool name and the wait is something I could never handle without some kind of wheels.

JewelZ · 07-21-2009, 11:19 PM

Your bella will be ok brother. No worries, and I get how you feel about the whole not believing it's actually your. I don't have my car yet but it is still an amazing feeling to even just tell my friends that I'm getting one. I hope you will continue being happy with her and don't have anymore issues. I also hope that the feeling you get everytime you look at her never fades away.

Beige Int??!?!?!?! PLEASE POST PICS!! I have not found any pics of the Beige interior yet and that is what I ordered! Does the door panel match the seats or is it still grey?

len56 · 07-21-2009, 11:28 PM

Reading is fundamental, and he must have gotten the sill plates.
