Amazing car Chevy built. 0 to 60 in 3.9secs , 1/4 mile in high 11's plus relatively great mpg. I'm on a 48 hour test drive. Car is equipped with auto trans/magnetic ride/dual mode exhaust for 38k.

Good deal? Should I go for it?

Go for it, these cars are amazing and it is a pretty good deal.

All but 70 miles of the 500 on the car have been hw. She said she wanted to hyper mile it this weekend and see what it would do.

Hit the left arrow button on the steering wheel and go to settings at the bottom. Change the theme to technology and then go back to the info pages

so far ive managed 13mpg since I first got her last night... most of tht was me granny-driving and idiling at a parking lot and giving my wife manual driving lessons. she hates that I got a manual because she hates being forced to learn new things lol

I have a 1LT V6 with the M6, I'm at about 700 miles so far, picked it up a couple weeks ago.

I did a short road trip last weekend, easy drive where I averaged about 28-30, there was a 25 mile average at one point at 47mpg! (Mostly Down hill).

Daily driving to work and back with stop and go traffic and all that I'm around 22MPG. My 1998 Corolla got about 28 in the same conditions so this car really does quite well!

My lifted Jeep Cherokee would be around 10-12.

Thanks. I have had it in the technology mode, but didn't know it did anything for the MPG calculator. That will probably become my favorite mode now that you've given me the tip.

She can't, at least for 7 more months. She needs her last 3 points to keep her licence.
