C9 Wish List
What is on your wish list for C9. Maybe this has been asked many times before.
For me it is pretty simple.
1. A sound system with good bass and an 8 band active EQ. Include some good features like bass boost, or loudness.
2. Sun visors that work. More height and the ability to fold all the way down like all other cars.
3. A bullet proof dependable DCT. Mine has been trouble free for 12K, but many others have not been so lucky.

Different strokes for different folks. I had a CEL at 300 miles involving break-in contaminants interfering with the DCT solenoids and a "disabled creep" message. The car drove fine and the CEL cleared later that day. Did not take car to the dealer and had the DCT first service done at 7,843 miles. Car has performed flawlessly since then and now has 50,000 miles on the odometer. The AFM is fantastic, especially on road trips. We drove over 400 miles from St George Utah back home to Los Angeles on a full tank of gas and had 73 miles of range left when home, thanks to AFM. Very pleased with ride, comfort and quality. Happy Motoring!

I still only have 600-miles on mine, but I agree about the Bose sound system. In two words: it sucks! A rear recording camera would be nice and please, please, please give us better wheels. Better exhaust note would be nice too. In my mode, I have mine set to track and I'd like a little bit more.
