I bought #3199 in Oklahoma City on February 6th, then sold one of my PT Cruisers on February 7th. The SSR has become my favorite vehicle that is used essentially in a daily routine of driving to my office, some restaurant for dinner, maybe a stop to shop, then back to the house.
I've also put it on the highway a few times, most recently a circuitous 3,600 mile round trip to Atlantic City ("topless" for over 1,000 of those miles). I only saw ONE other SSR throughout that trip, a silver one headed in the opposite direction in Virginia.
I added the Magellan GPS navigation system, XM Commander satellite radio, the K40 undetectable radar detector with sensors hidden in the front grill and rear bumper (it's already paid for itself!), and a Colgan carbon fiber bra. It now has over 12,000 miles on the odometer and the only problem I have experienced was caused by the bra . . . it protected the front end from bugs and road debris, but it gouged tiny pits in the paint on top of both front fenders during the 3,600 mile trip. Yep, that's my fault.
I haven't had any of the problems that I've read about on this site, but I do know what to look out for. Thanks to everyone for your input!
