my CUE screen is partially broken. The bottom 10% of the screen no longer responds to touch commands, which means all of my navigation buttons are broken as well as the bottom presets for my radio. I’ve come to realize that I didn’t actually need to use the screen all that often. Most of the controls can be handled…

they’re already getting pretty steep discounts around here. I’m trying to distract myself from buying one until they’ve been around long enough to have a used market and some long term reliability data.

I probably won’t have mine much longer because the reasons that people didn’t buy it (small back seat, cramped trunk) increasingly matter to my regular adult life. I’ll remember how perfectly balanced it is for a sedan, though. I’ve driven faster cars. I’ve never driven a more perfectly balanced sedan or sedan based…

agreed. that’s why i bought it. It’s still pretty ridiculous to have this 1980s Chevy Suburban lookin ass gauge cluster, though.

I drive a regular, non-V V6 ATS. The instrument cluster is total trash. It’s unacceptable to be in a car that was sold in the 2010s with a luxury badge and a near $50k sticker. Luckily, the car has an HUD, so you can ignore the entire instrument cluster completely as long as you don’t wear polarized sunglasses.

How does it compare to an RS3? They’re within the same price sphere and are basically the same kind of car. Do the weekend track things on the Subaru make it a better toy than the Audi?

lol, if you buy this instead of a v60, polestar or no, you’re a sucker.

How about “that Corvette looks pretty good”

Inscription is where it’s at. The R-Design trim is for the V60 Polestar. This thing’s all about luxury. Plus, you get better interior colors, like brown, on the inscription. So I’d go fully loaded $70k lux wagon with gray-blue on the outside and brown on the inside. Because life’s too short to deal with living like…

looks big, but I’ll probably drive it once.

The gauge cluster never grow on you. Ive driven an ATS about 95000 miles. The suspension though... nothing like it in the class.

0k, I’ll put it on the list.Along with the Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio because the Italians Finally gave us a Ferrari with 4 doors, and the Polestar V60 because wagon and the Chevy SS because it’s a Corvette powered M5, and geez, there are a lot of things that I have to buy.

the seats really do suck though.

I’m here. What’s up?

Everyone reads the “$500 more” part. Nobody seems to notice the “at today’s low gas prices” part. When I was shopping for a new car, gas prices were about $4/ gallon for premium. My projected fuel costs with the SS was not $500, and there wasn’t a car out there that I was comparing it to that got 26 mpg on the highway…

Who wants to drive at 55 mph, though?

The difference is not just 500. It’s the difference between what I drive and the SS. That difference is currently $900/yr and when I bought the car, the difference was about $1700/yr (premium gas price gap was larger). Plus, I don't think the car would've qualified as a gas guzzler at 26 mpg. It definitely did at 21.

That’s an 18% difference. And at 30,000+ miles a year—the amount of miles I drive— that’s a difference of nearly $500 per year in gas at today’s low gas prices.

Posting because eventually, someone at GM is going to see one of these comments and think “OMG A POTENTIAL CUSTOMER,” and build it for me (kind of like an ATS wagon, just do it, Cadillac, you’re guaranteed to sell at least one). I love the SS, but I hate the idea of spending more money on gas than the average full…

Couple of things that I’ve noticed after driving one of these for 70k miles:
