Picked up a new Summit White LTZ sedan with the 1.4T and six speed about a week and a half ago. Usually I am more of a hatch guy, but I really like the looks of the sedan with the 17's - so that is what I got. I was really surprised at how good of a deal I got (below invoice, plus the $250 GM owner loyalty rebate), seeing as this is a brand new model and the turbo cars are in relatively short supply. Definitely a lot of car for the money with the nice interior, bluetooth hands-free and music connectivity, satellite radio, pretty darn decent sounding stock system for not having a sub, OnStar, heated seats, oh yeah - and a nice little turbo engine that gets 40 mpg!
Love the economy of the car in stock trim, but cannot wait to do a few mods. Looks-wise, some nice dark tint and some sport springs to get a good inch or so drop to get the stance nice and aggressive would do it wonders. Also may black out the bowties front and back.
Really looking forward to getting a tune, full exhaust and intake. Seems almost criminal to have a turbo car that you cannot hear the tell-tale whistle on, but I understand they have to produce them for mass-appeal and not everyone wants to hear that. Hoping a few performance mods and the tune will help power delivery and make up for the lack of a close-ratio gearbox. The drop off between gears is probably my only annoyance so far. Again, hoping some added power will help that issue out.
Glad to be here - such a great little car (especially for the money)!!
Cheers!
