I am not arguing or disagreeing with anything you said. The writeup is fantastic, I had all that information in making my choice.
Having you to summarize would have made it easier for me Just want to let people know first hand what my experience was with it. Hope between the two of us we educate somebody before they are locked into payment

You would be correct on the paddle shift into M from D it doesn't do that on the LLT version you just need to drop the shifter to M from D which you can do without hurting the transmission for the same reasons you staed earlier M in the 2LS starts in 6th same as Drive so the transmission doesn't piss and groan when done. Throttle response is noticeably more lagged in M on the 2011 2LS unless you disable traction control not really sure what the connection is with that honestly.

Also interesting that you find reduced performance in M with TC engaged. Wonder why.

One other thing you may want to correct. The LS version in 2010 and 11 was available with the automatic transmission. I had one on order until I changed my mind and ordered the 1LT.

I have yet to do any "tap shifting". When your trade in is an XFE Cobalt, gas miliage isn't a bad thing. |
