I agree that the seats lack performance driving support... But so did the Corvette. The view out could be better but that wasn't a secret when I bought it. Stock exhaust sucks but that's why it's stock. Cup holders are crap, but I don't bring open containers in anyway. My problem... My trunk randomly pops right after I fire the car... No explanation as yet. So strange. ��

Lack of courtesy lighting. Skimping on the footwell lighting is highly annoying.

I only use Chevron or Shell premium so maybe there is a design issue with their pump nozzles.
Been to Cali twice and you're correct. What I noticed was I had to apply constant pressure pushing nozzle into receptacle pretty hard to keep gas flowing. Hard enough that it would be about impossible for elderly or injured.

I love the car, don't get me wrong, but Chevy really cut some corners. (2010 2SS/RS L99).

1. Why in the world does a 2010 car with a $40k+ sticker price have a radio with less features than some cars 10 years older? Then combine that with extremely limited, pricey replacement options.

2. AFM. Enough said. (Tuned out and soon to be removed altogether.)

3. Paint quality is very poor.

4. Visors are worthless, although I rarely need them.

5. Dash cracked a couple months ago.

6. Interior just feels cheap.

7. DIC is poorly designed. Middle screen has very limited options and is always forced to stay on speed screen as the analog speedometer is next to worthless and cannot be read with ease.

8. Rear deck rattling drives me crazy. Done everything possible short of removing the deck to work on it, (a fairly difficult task from what I've seen).

9. Steering wheel controls have a source changer but no seek controls. I'm not really sure who changes the source more than they change stations or songs.

10. The factory rearview mirror was like having a bathroom mirror on my windshield. (Replaced with frameless mirror).

11. Trunk latch is quite temperamental in cold weather.

12. Gas cap holder is useless

I also second many previous posts.

I know I've missed plenty things and always find something new to complain about, but it would take something huge to make me not love this car.

If the shoe fits, wear it.

The seat back release handles to far in. I get the design element, especially with the top down, but a lever at side of seat like the olden days would have better.
