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...

So what is the bad news????? At least it is under warranty and you weren't out on a long trip. Or worse be glad your car isn't one of the many cars that are getting wrecked. Glad you are happy with it.

Nothing, it will just be body color unless you buy the door sills and get them put on. Thinking I might go for some Camaro door sills instead of the chevy ones...

My 2SS/RS came with ones that say Chevrolet.

djm96z28 · 07-22-2009, 06:41 PM

Hmmmm, not my favorite color combo, but that's just me. Nice car though.

OUR72GTO · 07-23-2009, 01:52 PM
