It´s not often nowadays that I see a new car and get hooked instantly. I´m old school when it comes to cars so a 4-door sedan with analog intruments and a 6-speed manual is right up my alley. Combined with the V8 I start drooling on my keyboard ;-)
@@Spoder_Man Come to Australia. Every second car is one of these. There's also an el-camino esque version called a Ute and there's a wagon too. We have them for taxis and police cars.
man this guy has come a long way. These past 2 years have been so informative and professional it is fantastic. I remember when he had less than 100k subs. He deserves it because it is evident he works had and puts a great deal of effort into his work. Congratulations man. 1,000,000 in no time
Look up the torque curve on that engine. Its got about 300 pound feet of torque as soon as you push the skinny petal down at around 1000 rpm's. Pretty awesome engine, and its sooooo simple if you ever want to modify it. In my opinion this car has got all the modern amenities that you could want, and all the dead reliable old school design I require. Good combination.
+Quadrunner My feelings exactly. I'm ordering a 2017 as soon as they are available. I won't even get a sunroof as it's just one more thing to leak/break, not to mention it eats up headroom (plus you get a sunglass holder if you don't have a sunroof). It's got just enough tech, without all the useless crap I'll never use. I would gladly trade the parking assist though for a couple of other features (better stereo, adjustable seat belts, full LED lighting inside and out, etc.).
***** Personally I just don't use sunroofs very often when I do have them, so I would rather keep the extra headroom, save a little money, and get my sunglass holder back LOL.
This over the Charger. I love the Charger, and it does come cheaper, but this is a manual. Plus, the aftermarket for the LS3's (or just the LS motors in general) are endless. I want it sooooo bad.
This is by far the best review of the SS Sedan! I 100% agree with each point you made Saabkyle04! I too believe the SS lacks a bit of appeal compared to similarly priced and equipped vehicles (namely the tame styling, somewhat dated powertrain and the interior quality; which isn't bad, but is not as stylish as the Chrysler sedans). But it's no doubt a real gem when it comes to the overall package of performance and content! It really is simply a matter of personal preference! I love all your reviews! Keep up the good work!
+MrHeyfuckoff So are they just going to import everything after 2017? I wouldn't be entirely surprised if one of the companies backs out of this considering the others are stopping which will make the Aussie market more viable.
Nice review. But I can't help but notice that none of the reviewers know that there is a 4th MRC mode: Track. Double tap the traction control icon to the right of the MRC knob to activate Track mode which allows for launch control (manual only), a different pedal feel, fully disengaged Stabilitrak and traction control, and a couple other goodies. I love my '15 SS manual!
@@mattneal4309 have you ever drove one? There's a reason...plus you can get them at 35k instead since they weren't advertised well. Which is awesome so it makes them very rare and they will only go up in value overtime :-)
Never leave comments for the most part on any videos. Your reviews are fantastic. I'm in the market for a new car and your reviews are so very helpful. Thank you.
My dream car :) I fell in love with it last year and just bought my first manual transmission car a couple months ago and now they release this in a 6 speed!
I had my doubts about this vehicle but after watching this video my opinion of it has changed. It's an awesome car but like you said it's a matter of personal preference. great job Kyle.
+itsmegp46 i know right, very slept on car. Half the people don't even know these exist . I want one but even the used ones are a little out of my range right now.
+Rossymond That's great, but I was referring to the US market. Sometimes I forget TH-cam is global. Anyway, I've read GM is shutting down the Australia operations in a couple years. This will sadly put an end to this car.
+itsmegp46 it's a huge shame. It's also a huge blow for our economy here in south Australia. I love around 10 mins from the factory. Luckily I am not involved with that market. But I'm still a proud owner of the latest series 2 VF SS :)
Great detailed review,really awesome for someone in the market to buy one or owns one. I am from Australia [Elizabeth where this car is made] and as has been publicised GM is closing down its operation here so unless they decide to make it elsewhere it may no longer be available[ rumour is it may get produced in Mexico], but they are going out with a bang and have released this car in the form of a 6.2 litre , 430 kilowatt beast with heaps of performance extras, its one hell of a car! Cheers again for the review and keep up the great work!
+supremefantastic well, i dont know because more or less he dont feature vintage cars these years, but it is Kyle's decision whether he'll record old cars or no. Just my opinion.
Your video was very well done and covered most everything. I just ordered a new SS for 2017 in white with auto-trans and no sunroof. I would have preferred the manual transmission, but I'm physically disabled. This is the last year for this model, and I wanted a sleeper style config. I typically add stuff to my cars to make them a bit more unique, and this one certainly needs help. Those hollow door panels, as well as the floor and roof, will get the Dynamat treatment almost immediately. My last Chevy was a 2004 Impala SS w/3.8 supercharged V6, and it ran well. The dated and lackluster interior has been a Chevy hallmark as far back as I can remember.
Both the Pontiac G8 GXP and the Chevrolet SS were great cars. It was so unfortunate and disappointing General Motors had to phase out Holden and the Commodore VE/VF production had to end as well. GM withdrew from Australia because manufacturing cars there was so expensive. Also, it was very sad employees who worked at Holden lost thier jobs😔
john softy ,engineering just buy engine, trans,differential, switches,suspension, steering gear,from mother GM and figureout how to mount the parts. nice job i think.
Well done video! From your review, the SS seems like a four-door Camaro. I love the burble of the exhaust and how it cackles when you let off the gas. Reminds me of when I was a kid and Novas and Chevelles were what everyone wanted.
Viktor Freesmeier Really? better get your eyes checked. This one has a flat bottom. Same steering wheel design as the Vette, or the Z28 Camaro. The Malibu, Impala all are way different.
I am not a fan of big power with manual transmissions. The ease of use of an automatic in everyday traffic is worth a million bucks and on average is far faster off the line than a 6 speed without having to over rev, bog out or waste fuel. This is a fine car. Don't trap yourself with a 6 speed...
John Petito I know how to drive a manual, however, the more power you have the more of a pain in the ass a manual is. If you ask 100 Corvette owners about their cars? The one thing they all agree on is the drivers who own one with auto transmissions would EVER trade their cars for a manual.
That's right, I have a 2015 Corvette and before buying the car, I asked for a 1 day loan of each car. The automatic is controlled by a computer and on average,? The auto is faster off the line than a manual. Why do you thing Ferrari and Porsche are almost exclusively all automatics? The ease of use is also night and day...
I have had my 2015 SS for 4 years now, love it just as much as they say I got it, lts incredibly comfortable and pretty luxurious for a GM interior, yet at the same time the car sounds like a muscle car and it shimmys / shakes a bit from cam lope at idle - it reminds you that there is a massive V8 under your right foot, it has character that way, it's also unique and rare, I don't see one at every stop light like mustangs, chargers and challengers. It's like being in stealth mode, best sleeper made since the GMC cyclone/ typhoon
I think I'd still go Charger SRT8/RT/Scat Pack over this car. This car lacks the presense of most of the cars it compares to. It's not a bad car by any means, just not special enough inside and out. Charger has always been the way to go for the past several years for RWD American sedans and this is no different. Chevy is killing off the SS this year because of the lack of sales. Shame really, because as a car guy, I hate to see ANY brand struggle with a car.
idh0530 Nice info but that is wrong. GM announced its shutting down the Holden plant that makes the SS in 2017 a long time ago. Get them while their hot, 2016s just got announced and it's probably the last year. But good try.
Arthur Zaremba Thanks for the insight. Had no idea the Holden plant is getting shut down. I think it's a combination of both of these. Maybe it's just me not seeing them on the road or me mistakenly believing its a Malibu lmfaooo
Kevin Dean that's part of the reason I want this car over a Camaro (or corvette, or Mustang) In the event I start a family rather than trade it in for a sedan or SUV I can argue "I already have a family car"
I really like your review on this car! I would really love if Chevy would put the LS9 in this car like they are considering with the Commodore but on can only dream. Thanks again for the great review!
***** thank you very much for replying me! That's true, but if you are looking for a good car you can buy a used German car with 2 year warranty with Chevy ss price! All the best,keep up great work!
Dude this car has more powerful sisters to compete with the germans you know , though I totally agree with the superiority of the german cars specially when it comes to emptying your wallet.
I’m a Dodge and Chevy fan but mostly Dodge. But danm, this car is crazy! It looks like a regular sedan but inside it’s a huge V8 with an aggressive and good sound and is also quick
Great review, man! You picked out some things I hadn't heard of before, such as the lack of 60:40 fold-down seats. Gotta admit, I was disappointed by that. It's such a common feature that I've come to expect it on every car these days. It really increases cargo space when you need it.
Great review Kyle, first time coming across your page I'm hooked. I'm biased since own and SS, but cross shopped the Charger and this over the past few months. Between most cops in my area and elsewhere in Illinois driving Chargers, and seemingly every 25yr dude on his first job. I was quickly turned off from Dodge. Then started looking at some German makes but liked the SS too much. And as "bland" as the style is in the eyes of some, I absolutely love it more and more as my daily driver. Have had numerous compliments in 2 months of ownership. It's classic, sporty, and an absolute beast to drive (not that a few trims of the Charger aren't).
I'm going nuts watching these videos. I can't believe how fortunate Americans are. So much choice. So many fantastic cars that are actually affordable. I love your Camaro and Corvette especially. It really makes me want to move to the USA. Even a high end Porsche is a third of the price that we pay hear in Australia.
Well done Kyle! This is exactly how i would spec an SS black on black six speed with magnetic ride! i wish people would realize what a cool car this is. i never see them on the road. I am waiting for the new Camaro SS to come out and i hope Chevy loans you one to do a road test! Take car man and thanks again!
I wanna get one of these, black, with the TR6060... keep it stock and take good care of it, still drive it and have fun with it and enjoy it, but keep it in great condition... years later... very rare and valuable car- that I'll probably never get rid of.
You just made me about to purchase this car I was looking to get a Camro ss because I want a nice V8 with power but I needed space like a Camry and here is the car for me
Another excellent review. Very thorough. I have an 09 GXP and wouldn't trade it for anything. The only place the SS falls short is in the styling. Looks too mich like a Malibu. But still it is a phenomenal car.
It´s not often nowadays that I see a new car and get hooked instantly. I´m old school when it comes to cars so a 4-door sedan with analog intruments and a 6-speed manual is right up my alley. Combined with the V8 I start drooling on my keyboard ;-)
I want this car because it looks lowkey but has hella balls.
marcotoni231 I put Malibu badges on it ha ha
Also you hardly ever seen it on the street unlike chargers/challengers

best sports sedan ever. even better than the E39 M5..probably because the engineers of BMW were on the Holden design team.
Damn. That thing sounds beastly.
Why does it have dual-exhausts when the Commodore SS has quads? Seems strange.

Juble Tyre I believe Australian Hilux's are manufactured in Thailand. The Melbourne facilities only make Camrys, Aurions and some Hybrid motors.

My father has a 2016 SS. Great Car. You do really good reviews.
Unless you have a family, buying this over a new SS camaro which is the same price would be stupid.
I actually prefer the looks of this, but you're probably right. There isn't better value for money than the Camaro right now.

Great review Kyle, first time coming across your page I'm hooked. I'm biased since own and SS, but cross shopped the Charger and this over the past few months. Between most cops in my area and elsewhere in Illinois driving Chargers, and seemingly every 25yr dude on his first job. I was quickly turned off from Dodge.
Then started looking at some German makes but liked the SS too much. And as "bland" as the style is in the eyes of some, I absolutely love it more and more as my daily driver. Have had numerous compliments in 2 months of ownership. It's classic, sporty, and an absolute beast to drive (not that a few trims of the Charger aren't).
Love your videos keep it up man !
Love the SS. Was the 2nd choice for my new car I got recently.
I'm going nuts watching these videos. I can't believe how fortunate Americans are. So much choice. So many fantastic cars that are actually affordable. I love your Camaro and Corvette especially. It really makes me want to move to the USA. Even a high end Porsche is a third of the price that we pay hear in Australia.
Seeing how it’s basically a modern G8 I might have to considering getting one. Loved those Pontiacs. Fantastic review bro!
37k now a Demo
Great video my dude 👍💯
Well done Kyle! This is exactly how i would spec an SS black on black six speed with magnetic ride! i wish people would realize what a cool car this is. i never see them on the road. I am waiting for the new Camaro SS to come out and i hope Chevy loans you one to do a road test! Take car man and thanks again!
Very nice review Kyle :)
I wanna get one of these, black, with the TR6060... keep it stock and take good care of it, still drive it and have fun with it and enjoy it, but keep it in great condition... years later... very rare and valuable car- that I'll probably never get rid of.
I WANT IT SO BAD
Wow - what a great, super-in depth review! Too bad these are no longer around...but I'm still looking to pick one up used - preferable 2017 in gray!
Thanks Kyle, looking forward to the 2016 version now with the dual mode exhaust.
great filming keep up
amazing video clips
I just found your channel. Nice video. Subscribed!
You just made me about to purchase this car I was looking to get a Camro ss because I want a nice V8 with power but I needed space like a Camry and here is the car for me
Awesome video mate a fan in Australia
Another excellent review. Very thorough. I have an 09 GXP and wouldn't trade it for anything. The only place the SS falls short is in the styling. Looks too mich like a Malibu. But still it is a phenomenal car.
Definitely an awesome sleeper I'd love as family weekend car
YES! THE MANUAL HAS COME!!!!
