[QUOTE="MFE, post: 16922674, member: 36397"] I daily a 2016 SS and I really enjoy it. I came out of an 08 G8 GT which got wrecked. The G8 remains a better looking car, somewhat distinctive, whereas the SS is very often mistaken for a Malibu (whose designer also did the SS). The sound system on the SS sucks sweaty balls. The sound system in virtually any modern car you can think of is better. The LS3 engine is pretty damned reliable but there seems to be a risk of broken valvesprings as mileage accumulates. It does not have the failure-prone Displacement on Demand system that the G8 GT's L76 engine had. The closest thing the G8 had was the very limited production GXP. In fact, the SS is basically a G8 GXP with different skin. Overall I like the car for a DD. It's pretty fast, comfortable, will carry 4 or even 5 adults comfortably, but gas mileage kinda blows. I average 18 mph in mixed commuting, never more than 24 on the highway. [/QUOTE]
