2500 miles.

No issues. Only some behavior adjustments. (plugging it in when you can)

Sport mode is perky. Surprizes everyone that takes a drive in it. Handles very well. Rides like a dream. Super quiet. I sneak up on pedestrians all the time.

This is no Prius. I recommend you take one for a test drive. It isn't fair to compare this with a Cruz or some other tiny car. More of a mid-size dispite only being a 4 seater.

These cars are really bitchen, have loved it since the first drive introduction!
They have only had slight issues, 110 chargers going bad, a couple programming service paks, and the new battery protection brace install.....
Just wish they would have priced it for the long run 6-8 grand cheaper would have been nice!

Really. Shitola. Maybe just a 4.8 Silverado or Sierra if I can find one.

How much on average has the electrical bill went up due to charging?

Depends entirerly on your utility rate. In my home area, it's about $1.25 to go from empty to full charge. At the shop, it would be < $1.00 and at the hotel I'm staying at $0.00. (but I asked if I could plug in first) ;) That gives you 35-40 miles of pure electric range before it turns on the gas motor to keep you going.

meh...4.8, 5.3, 6.0, 6.2, 7.0.....its still pretty hard to blow up an LSx regardless. ;)

My old 5.3 out lasted 8, yes 8, transmission and had 105K on the clock. Never had to do Anything to the bottom end. And I only had two setting on the go pedel, on the floor or foot on the brake. :roflmao:

I'd like to get a cruise but my only problem is I can't get into cars anymore since I got a truck. Okay I could but it sucks crawling into and out of a car. :spit:

Anyways congrats on the fuel saver!

7 months - that is almost a record for me owning a car (non work truck vehicle)

I really like it, but decided to reduce the fleet.
