Detailed review: |
After a year of owning this car (LS Sport V8 with every option), it has held up well. I'm 6'7' and fit, albeit tight, inside. At the 10,000 mile checkup, had to have the tranny reprogrammed due to sloppy shifting between 1-2, and 2-3. Still not great, but better than it was. SelecShift Tranny is a gimmick and doesn't work real well in manual mode. Throttle has spongy feedback, and at times I surprise myself off the line - the V8 kicks butt. The handling is first rate and the quality is good - no rattles, shakes, squeeks. Dismal mileage until the engine is broken in, but am only getting 15 around town anyway. Still feel as though bigger/wider wheels & tires would make this package sing. |
