So Z71 doesn't mean 4WD anymore? It is just a suspension and appearance package?

Nope, not engaged to anybody on here either. Nice try though.

I used to feel like my posts would dead end too. The more you post, the less likely they are going to dead end. At least, that is what I have learned.

It has been fine. The doors are not too big and it is about as high off the ground as my Grand Prix is. I'm big and clumsy and I have not felt any different getting into or out of this car than any other. P.S. Driving the car to Vegas and back was like floating on a cloud. More to come in my full review.

Yeah no split fold, but I have to say the trunk was able to hold my brand new vacuum in it's box without a problem. Before leaving on my trip tonight, I'll take a photo of the luggage inside.

WOW . . . Sometimes here in California, wacky stuff gets proposed too. Mostly so the wacko can get some attention.

Here are some more photos I took yesterday. Tonight, I will take some night photos of the car. If anybody would like hi-res versions of any of these images. PM me and I will work out an email arrangement.

I actually really like the steering wheel for regular driving. I could see if you were to take the car to the track it may be problematic. I'm not much for steering wheel controls for radio and phone anyways. The cruise control is easy to use. One thing about controls though, the radio buttons are too easy to press. There is not enough resistance in them. I think having a bit more feedback on the pressure of the buttons would make a difference. When I press the advance song button, I can feel the edges of the console and it feels flimsy. It's not a huge deal, just a minor issue.

I will try this tomorrow. I didn't even think about this. I bet it will work.

Rules of PR: When you don't have a real answer, make something up and pick on others!

Sounds: It is hard to decide which sound I like better. Right when you start the car up, or when you give it the gas in 2nd gear. I will be filming some videos with sound and try to capture the sound the best I can. Feel: Even with the traction control on, the rear end can slip out a bit if you give it enough gas. The car is solid and is predictable in everyday driving. Shifter/Clutch: The clutch is not tiresome at all for your leg. It has a nice sweet spot in it, but the shifter is not my favorite. I don't know what it is, maybe I am not used to it enough. I'll see if my impressions change here in a few days. Livability: For somebody like me, (Late 20s, single) the car is great. It would allow somebody like me to hold out at least until the future kids get out of the safety seats as putting those in the back would be a breeze. I could never get one with a sunroof as I will demonstrate later and the power seat is a must for larger drivers to get comfortable. If I didn't like the sound of the engine so much, I'm sure I could get better gas mileage.
