Up grade the NAV system. Compared to some of other GM vehicles it is primitive. New CTS Cadillac looks good.
Number of gallons used like on my ETC. Other than that I Love My Vette.

I find the seats comfortable but the overall look and quality could be better.

The clutch, it's a tricky s.o.b. Dealer says it's normal, I'm not so sure.

clutch shudder, and the crusie control. when it's set and you are going downhill, it cant make up it's mind weather to accelerate or decel, it's obvious as heck... maybe just on the 08's ? the top squeeks only when it's off and in the back. shifting into 2nd and 3rd is clicky until it warms up.

Can't think of a thing that I haven't been able to do or get aftermarket. That said, It would have been kinda cool if I had been able to get all the things that I have done or had done or will do (e.g., all my modding) directly from GM... But that ain't gonna happen - so I'm happy doing it my way.....

Oh there is one thing - an approved roll bar.....

Come on GM... give us the option to AT LEAST have good sport style seats using high grade leather! That would cost GM nothing if it was made an option.......
My other complaint is the terrible quality of material used for the door panels and other places. You can't even breath on this stuff with it scuffing... Makes the entire car look like it's been abused when nothing could be further from the truth for most OP's.....

HVAC controls not working properly. Heat comes out of the right side vent at all times, weather set to 60 or even shut off. Not looking forward to have dash board removed for the fix!

would improve seats and interior materials in general but not sure I could support the cost to do so. for the money, this is one car. the quality on a $55k F-250 King Ranch isn't any better so I guess you get what you pay for.

Read everybody's suggestion/complaint on this thread. The only one I agree with is the distortion in the back window. Makes it really difficult to recognize a police car unless it's "already got ya" !!

Of course, I'm a first time owner with an 08' 6 weeks old. I may find other areas I don't like.

I don't like that it doesn't automatically upgrade itself to the next new version.
