I tell ya... I just put about 550 miles on it today... got an average of 27.5mpg on the highway at 80mph most of the time.

Further, I LOVE the rain sensing wipers!!

Awesome car didn't know you got a new one. At least it's better than that HHR thing never have liked those too much. I've never had a problem with any GM cars except the cobalt which left my buddies stranded in coleman, AL. I've had my Silverado almost a year haven't had a problem yet and I drive it like I stole it. Anyways congrats on the new whip looks like fun in a nice comfy package.

Took the car south to visit Trip and hit the BRP from Cherokee to Big Lynn Lodge

Scenery

From our Big Lynn Lodge room

Have over 1800 miles on the odometer now. Got about 28-29.5 mpg for the entire trip, which is advertised 29mpg highway. The car is super quiet, smooth, and really fast. This is the first car in long time that has impressed me. I love this car.

Anymore updates?

I have almost doubled the miles on the car since the 2 week of ownership. LOL

I put about 1800 miles on it in 2 weeks. I'm almost at 3400 now... I simply don't drive it much since I got a work truck again.

That being said... my new Elevate exhaust should be in, any day now.

Otherwise, I still love the car...
