2005 Chevrolet SSR

Pros: Retro look of a custom street rod. Shear power of a big Corvette V-8.

Cons: It turns too many heads. It looks way too cool. They quit making them.

The Bottom Line: If you want a fun to drive head turner... this is it! Get yours while you can.

Review: WOW! That just about says it all. I haven’t had this much fun since I had my 1969 Chevelle SS 396 back in the day. Remember when VW used to advertise "Fahrvergnugen"? It meant the Joy of Driving. The Chevy SSR has given that back to me after all ...

Pros: Style and power, Fun.

Cons: Gas mileage. Will no longer be built after 2006.

The Bottom Line: Although the workman ship is not up to my Lexus, the style and feel is outstanding. Lexus would never come out with a vehicle like this.

Pros: Powerful, convertible, head-turner, only 25,000 on the road.

Cons: Visibility, cramped cab, odd placed controls and instruments..

Review: Like most red blooded American men when I saw the first SSR advertisement with the smokin' tires and the u-turn onto the transport, I had to have one. It took a while and a lot of persuading. It is all that is advertised. I will leave the techy stuff ...

Pros: Power roof and performance is a plus.

Cons: Inadequate room in the cab for any extras like sun glasses, purses. No spare tire!

Review: Fun to drive, and you get comments nearly every time you stop. Heads turn every trip. The mechanical convertable roof is flawless. The engine is the Corvette LS2 390 hp. It is hard to go slow, as you touch the gas pedal and it downshifts and the G-force ...
