Here are some random thoughts . Please no flame war, I love the car and will be keeping it. I will probably spend another 10K supercharging it in 6 months or so. These are just my observations in the past 2 days, 130 miles; and is not intended to put the car down. Constructive criticism:
1- Drives like a truck, kind of rough
2-The stereo is not as good as some had described, it may be due to the fact there are no back seats. I have had a lot better sound in my other cars
3- For $48k, they should have included a navigation system
4-The interior is quite cheap looking. It's GM at its worst. The glove compartment door has to be slammed shut. The ashtray and lighter compartment do not seem very secure.
5- The saddle bag compartments are hard to open and close
6-Whats up with the cargo cover? When you open it, you have to open the gate to be able to close it. Why?
7-Why is there so many functions on the turn signal stick? Couldn't they fit some it else where?
8-I know I got upset when someone complained about cup holders, but it's true. It's annoying. Why didn't they make it symmetrical. Either on the dash or by our leg. Not much thought went into it...
9-With the top up, there are still a lot of outside noise making you think there is a window or door open. I've never had a 2 seater or a convertible, so that may be the cause
10-As it has been said before, the seat adjustments should be moved. No room for my fat hands to get there
11- The stereo has too many buttons. I'm a techy guy but come on, make it simpler.
12- A spare tire would have been great. I'm thinking about getting a donut and a jack and keep it in the cargo area. I hate waiting for the tow truck and don't want to use the fix it cans.
13-The lights on the instrument panel are hard to see
14- An SSR logo in between the seats would have been great
15- The cheap stick to keep the hood up
Now the good stuff:
1- The red color. I love this red. It gets so much attention it's unbelievable. The fact that the same color trim is inside makes the car so attractive
2-I love the heating and AC controls. It looks retro and is very simple and elegant. I love it, did I say that
3-The heated seats are a god sent and work awesome. especially if are as dumb as I am to drive the car with the top down when the temps have been between 36-50 in the past two days.
4- The exhaust makes you want to make love to the car (or maybe inside of it). :jester
5-The retractable top. I just hope I'm not going to run out of time. I've been opening and closing everywhere. I must have done it 50 times already ( 2 days). BTW, no problems and very smooth. I just wish you could do it on the fly. I know it's dangerous but it would have been cool.
6- The steering wheel is gorgeous
7- The seats are very comfortable
8- Love the position of the emergency break, it's not an eyesore
9- Love the compartment between the seats and how it opens
10-The little piece of extra material on the body (between the back wheels and the doors) to protect that area
11-The gear shifter looks great
12-The interior light and the green one when the top is down. It looks like moonlight.
13- The gold Chevy bow-tie up front as it contrasts with the silver
14- The lines on this car are so severe. It's awesome.
More to come later....
