Had mine since summer of 09....have headers cai exhaust and tune. Not a single issue other than when I broke the emergency trunk release and the screws in the spoiler needed some Loctite. 21,900 miles I think

2010 LS M6 Holding up Very Well

98,000 mi. So far the following warranty repairs:

1. Right rear shock failed and replaced at about 10,000 mi.
2. One tire pressure sensor went bad the morning I was buying new tires. Glad it wasn't the afternoon after buying them!
3. Gasket at the exhaust manifold to CAT connection sprung a leak and had to be replaced because the air leak upstream from the O2 sensor threw a CEL at 90,000 mi.

Interior plastic on the doors is a little scuff-prone. The cheap cloth seats are holding up well and would look brand new if I ever get around to properly cleaning it. Brakes look like the have 50,000 mi more life left and stop as cleanly as day-1. Easy on tires. The all-season OEMs last 50,000 while wearing evenly. Chassis and suspension remain solid. Clutch feels like new after 300+ wheel-spin auto-x launches at 4K rpms. Amazing, since you asked me.

Gripes pretty limited: The trans had a minor 2-3 upshift glitch for the first 40,000 mi. After that the glitch moved to the 1-2 upshift when temperatures are hot after putting in the Royal Purple. Maybe it's time to try the synchromesh somebody mentioned recently.

Overall, I'd have to say the quality has been outstanding. Aside from minor normal maintenance, gas, tires, and oil, the Silver-6 has cost nothing out of pocket for repairs. Most of the miles have been highway, I'll admit. But, 300+ auto-x runs at 100 percent seems like a pretty serious quality test easily passed.

Some folks have been less fortunate, but my next car will definitely be a Chevy. Unless it's an ATS-V. Always had a hankerin' for a Cadillac.

My dads 73 camaro is at almost 130,000 miles, all original motor and trans. Just oil and gas. My 4th gen has 56k miles, runs great and the 2010 only has 22k and runs like new.

I'm a second owner on my 2010 LS, its got 52K on it and runs like a dream! It seems the only common issue for these cars quality wise is the paint job and how it chips. But mechanically its a solid vehicle! Plus its tons of fun and people react to it!

Bought my '10 used, it has a few quirks in the paint (spoiler TSB) and 25k, I literally just changed the oil in it, hopped in and drove 4000 miles in 5 days with absolutely zero issues. Needs tires though...but that is my fault I guess.

I have noticed with most modern day batteries that if one ever goes completely dead they will no longer hold a charge for long. Best to go ahead and replace it now.
I had that happen on my Saturn a couple months ago. My MIL left her heated seat cushion plugged in and it drained the battery. After that if I didn't drive it every few days it would go dead by itself. I replaced the battery and now it can sit for weeks with no problems.

73,000 Miles on my 2010.
Supercharged starting at 10,000 miles I believe according to the previous owner. I picked up the car at 13k miles. Ride it hard on my one way 52 mile daily commute.

Things that I have replaced in last 3 years: Tensioner Pulley arm ($360- Chose JRE super tensioner over the stock $140 because it looked cool and my wife didnt notice the unnecessary buy lol), Serpentine Belt ($20). Battery 2 months ago ($200 something), both rear turn signals ($20). And thats it.
