Hello from Alabama

Hi,

I just bought a new 2017 2.0T 1LT M6 leftover. After discounts, my GM card earnings, and the trade in on my 2009 Pontiac G5 (soooo sad to see it go), I ended up paying $12.9K for it (taxes, title, everything). I'm hoping I didn't overpay too much.

I'm getting used to the shifter. It seemed shifting in my G5 was a bit smoother, strange to say. I've stalled it a few times starting out in first, catching much grief from my wife (until she did the same thing).

Unfortunately, there's a buzzing/vibration near the 7inch display, and a rattle to the left of the steering wheel. Both are occasional, haven't been able to reliably reproduce. Other than those issues, I am really enjoying driving it! I'm even to the point where it feels like visibility is not a big issue!

CONGRATS on the ride, and Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5/6. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, wives', husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends here don't care....and take it easy.

They didn't have crimson, so I had to settle for garnet red.

Welcome to the Camaro6 forum! I think you got a great deal on the car! You will get used to driving it and really enjoy the time spent behind the wheel. Roll Tide Roll!!! Looks like the pic was taken in Destin. Nice road trip to break in the car!
