I wouldn't do it, but whatever the other guy wants to do with his/her car, I don't care.

Never seen this on my '14. Sounds as if something is binding. I wonder if, when it happens, you could stop the top where it is, get out of the car, and pull (gently) on the top to try to identify...

I've gotten to the point where I prefer an automatic for most of my driving, even with my Camaro convertible. But... I do have my Saturn Sky with manual five-speed and get such a kick out of that...

Songbirdskipper sounds as if you've fixed your problem, but here's my experience in case it helps anyone. My '14 had a rattle in the driver's side door so I asked the dealer to check it out. They...

I agree with you about having all four windows up, makes for very pleasant cruising. No, I was talking about raising the rear windows only. That, I think, looks a bit unusual, but if you're driving...

If you're driving without the tonneau cover, putting the rear windows up will stabilize the air flow and stop the flutter of the top fabric. Yes, it looks weird, so just ignore them. You can't see...

Don't know about the 2012, but for 2014 the RS came with "summer tires" while the 2LT came with Pirelli P Zero Nero "all season" tires.

2014 or 2015? I know for the 2LT, for '15 they dropped the price of the car $160 and made the tonneau cover (which was standard in '14) a $200 option.
