I have manual 2013 Grand Sport with Magnetic Ride that I daily year round and it has been great. I did swap out the factory radio for a DVD Pioneer touch screen unit but other than that my interior factory (no additional cutting, stock speakers, stock amp, added sub ) Even with the factory nav unit you can bluetooth you phone through it which should alleviate any travel worries.

BTW: My car has +60k miles and has traveled as far south as Mississippi and as far north as Maine. Running 70ish MPH I average between 24-28 MPG on road trips with the wife and a hatch full of luggage.

Chevy has a habit of giving many different models the SS designation! So when making reference to a SS you need to be model specific!! Just my opinion from an old school guy! Back in the 60's Chevy did have a Impala SS as well!!!

FYI, SS discontinued 2015 is it.

IMO, if it had awd, Cadillac would be pissed. Lol

They should call it a "Holden SS." It is just SS.
