I'm 98% happy with my SS

I've had my SS for about a month now and love it. Just a few minor thing i would have done differently if i was on the design team:

- I'd make it 3 inches wider, mostly for a better console, but i can't fit a 40" tv and kids at the same time.

- I'd use better sound dampening materials to reduce road noise

- I'd make it in yellow

One thing I noticed is that putting the rear cargo tray in the top position seems to reduce road noise a bit. Even more probably if you bought a spare tray, and mounted it in the top position while leaving the lower one in place.

Yellow would be awesome, too bad it costs so much to re-paint a car

Leave the kids and take the TV with you at all times.

Sound deadening adds weight. Make a SS slower.

Yellow attracts bugs.


LOL!

The last one was not a joke. Yellow cars are cool but a pain in the spring when it attracts all kinds of bugs to it.

I agree and also would like the 3" width just for more room to adjust the electric seat with the door closed.

No joke. The bugs think my yellow ZX3 is a flower or something. I would say I'm 95% satisfied with my SS

Oh, I am 99% happy!

Kust took mine in to get them to decide to put the vacuum pump on for the brakes. Other wise the fhing ws screwed together very well.

The only dislikes I have are minor like the small speedo etc.

I wouldnt mind having a heated steering wheel, heated mirrors and heated seats....too damn cold in the winter not to have those. Also a weight reduction of 200-300 lbs would be nice.
