On rare occasions the divider issue that my dealer “fixed” (see post #19) surfaces, but that is very rare now.

2018 so far, so good...
Delivered in April 2018, now with ~9,800 miles... Mostly garaged during the New England "driving season" and hibernating from NOV-APR. I haven't seen/experienced any of the top issues described in this thread, yet.
I bought the extended warranty from GM as this is my first convertible and if I do have these issues, they will be covered (hopefully without the dealer incompetence/frustration shared by some of you). Nothing like driving through the New England countryside in the fall with the top down!

Well... we bought it today. 2020 2SS rag top. We cant fit it into the garage and it will be mostly daily driven. This winter we have the QX50 until April. So no bad weather. And I got the outdoor cover for it.
We also tested an identical hard top. But the reason we were there was to get an end of year deal on the convertible. The wife has wanted a vert for 30 years. The seat in the hard top didnt go as far forward as the vert. Not sure if all convertibles have less room or if it is the Recaros in the rag top. She was flooring the clutch with her tippy toes in the hard top. She was far more comfortable in the vert. So that did it. The deal was better on the vert as well by over $2,000.00. I guess they were glad to get rid of the convertible now rather than have it sit through winter. Not to say it was 2 grand cheaper. But 2 grand more off MSRP. Thanks all for all the info!! |

Didnt really expect to take her home yesterday. I thought we would get it during the week. But they got it ready and we brought her home in the dark. Was expecting rain today. But it came in freezing rain, then snow for a bit... So first day home and she gets snowed on.... Jees... Its salt more than anythng that bothers me about winter. I used Fluid Film under the F250. I plan on doing the SS undercarriage as well. Was going to take her to work and put her up and check out the undercarriage and spray everything. Now the roads are freshly salted. Might leave her parked a while.... Thanks for the well wishes. |

Gray metallic is such a nice colour with the black rims and the black roof. Enjoy. So much fun. I love having my kids in the car with me.

Ye s I love it with the black rims. Looking at winter tires now. Will likely go black on the wheels. Although will probably go 19 or even 18" if they will fit over the brakes.
There was a lot of negativity around about driving it in the winter. In the early 70s when I started driving everything was front engine rear drive. I never owned anything that didnt have a V-8. I drove Corvettes, a GTO...a 70 Camaro and others in the snow with no issues. and We had way more snow then and the road crews barely ever used salt. I wasnt planning on doing the winter tires until the fall though because we have the Infinity until April. But I have more concern over the summer tires in the bitter cold than worries overall about snow. More about the rubber compound than tread. Going to have to look into exactly which summer tires they put on the convertible 2 ss. Speak? Do you drive yours in the cold up there? 2 more years in the cold and my wifes commute is 6 miles. Last year it snowed 1 measurable time.... I think well make it. |

BTW, my DD is a Toyota Carolla and I beat on this pretty hard. My commute is to a small community down country roads and HWY, 56 Miles each way. This car is getting hammered by rocks, stones, mud and salt from the worst that can be thrown at a car. I wouldn't consider driving any nice car on this commute anytime of the year.

this is my DD, just under 9K miles. The top gets cycled often and multiple times per day. That is why I bought it.
The only problem was the window delamination. Never driven top up windows down. Top replaced under warranty. Other than that no issues yet. I do not have a feel for how many top cycles but it is 100s if I had to guess. I wish it had a counter. |
