Hey, it's made to be driven. You must have went on a road trip or two.

Yes sir. Odessa to Longview TX, Odessa to San Antonio, Odessa to Fort Worth and Odessa to Abilene.

Getting right at 29mpg on those trips....mind blowing to me coming from a CTS-V

I went with OEM sizes on this set. My eventual plan is to run two sets of tires/wheels (Winter and Summer) so long as I am daily driving this car. The OEM wheels will be the winter set.

I would like to say that I haven't had any problems with aspect ratio, but I find it hard to believe that it's a coincidence that the car threw it's first codes 15 minutes after leaving the tire shop after almost 36k miles of flawless operation. When I picked it up from the dealer, their resolution for the ABS and Traction Control codes involved "cleaning contacts" and "dielectric grease".

I translated that to mean that they had no idea why it had thrown the codes either.

Short version: Nothing has really been resolved.

The Traction Control and ABS codes may well have been related to the new tires, even though the new tires are the same size as the OEM tires. However, since the codes came up within 15 minutes of leaving the tire shop, it's hard to believe that it's a coincidence.

The persistent vibration/resonance in the rear deck is still there. It was always less obvious in cooler weather, and I picked it up on a cool, rainy day and it didn't immediately start doing it.

I had hope because they had actually called me a day earlier and told me that the Tech HAD been able to observe the problem and had stayed late to fix it. Their "Fix" involved a firmware upgrade to the Bose amplifier's noise cancelling system. They claimed that the resonance was the result of mis-calibrated noise cancelling. It was a plausible enough explanation to keep me from calling bullshit over the phone when he explained to me.

Minor victory: The firmware upgrade to the amplifier DOES seem to have improved the overall sound quality of the system, even if it hasn't fixed my rear deck issue.

21k on mine since October lol. Love this car. No issues so far. I'm about get a 7 year extended warranty.

Edit: I would like to get a catback from SW or Borla but I'm afraid my warranty would be toast.

6,909 and loving every drive I take in it. Just had the tires mounted on my new wheels yesterday. Going to do the cable mod in driver side wheel well and install my front splash guards today. Can't wait to see the results.

I had a peculiar rattle in the front fender well area that increased with speed. The dealer fixed it in 5 minutes when he found a clip loose. That's the only problem I've had. I had it in for the radio MyLink re-flash, a radiator issue of some sort and recently a differential cooler inspection. The latter two weren't applicable to my car.

22,900 and counting since September. I drive a minimum of 110 miles per day on weekdays, usually do the same on nice weekends just to do some spirited driving with the family.

Switched to Amsoil to get extended intervals on the oil change, and still on the stock tires minus one that obtained a gigantic gash and had to be replaced thanks to a piece of scrap metal on the highway. Car has been in the shop twice for the same issue, first time they couldn't replicate, second time they replaced two injectors. Other than that, she runs like a dream, and sits pretty at the office every day backed in next to my work buddy's new Scat Pack 392 Challenger.

3,200 miles, currently at the dealership. So far I have had a small paint correction done on rear quarter panel (Only needed to buff and polish it out). Passenger window was not rolling all the way down (only about 3 milimeters showing above weather stripping) this is being fixed now. Also, being fixed now is the transmission shudder at low RPMs. First step as shown in many threads is to do a fluid change...hope that works.

For anyone needing to have work done where door panels are removed make sure they order clips before you drop off. Dealer claims there is a TSB due to the s**tty clips they use. Car has been at the dealer since Tuesday and I expect to get it back next Tuesday only because of having to order these clips.
