2005 Chevrolet SSR consumer reviews

I drive mine like an old lady for 2 reasons. I want it to last and I hate getting tickets. I have to restrain myself every time I get behind the wheel 🛞 😩 but, it is satisfying in the most soul stimulating way, knowing that at any given moment I can romp on it like a little old lady from Pasadena. 🚀

We have had 3 in the last 15,we love them my wife drive her as a daily driver 123000, and still never had a problem

If you're thinking about buying one know what you are getting into. Chevy and GM inmost cases long ago stopped making parts specifically for the SSR. Trying to find parts can often be a challenge. There is a good network ofSSR owners who can be very helpful as ling as the have the time and desire to be helpful. There are also a few private individules to stock some needed parts, but you have to do your homework to find them . Pray that the retractable hardtop doesn't malfunction. The closest person capable of fixing mine if it had ever gone down lives 150+ miles away, is 80+ years old and will only help fix if he's not feeling too grumpy when you ask. Final note: '05 and '06 are the best years to get, HP was increased from 300 to 390. If you use it as a weekend fun car I say go for it. A daily driver? No.

Have always wanted an SSR for summertime cruising and finally found it. I really like the retro styling and the powerful motor and convertible top on this little truck.

Chevrolet built it to be a pace car, and it operates that way. Car is built heavy to keep it square to the ground, but it goes from 40-80 on the press of the gas peddle... The retractable roof is phenomenal engineering, and there is always someone taking pictures or posing with the car.

great for car shows & it holds all my wife's luggage! strong corvette LS2 engine.Comfortable bucket seats and lots of gauges. beautiful styling and very safe even has side air bags

I really like driving a convertible powered by a big V-8. It’s got a 6-speed and that makes it even more fun. I wish it had a more user friendly and sturdier cup holder. It definitely is a head turner. It’s really a Vette pickup truck that is easy to get in and out of, compared to an actual Vette. Perfect for me.

I recently purchased a slingshot yellow 2006 SSR. and I love it. It's a gas to drive, handles beautifully and that 400 ponies under the hood make it a real speedster. It's a keeper!!!!

Very sporty, outstanding performance and handling, and even gets decent mileage. Used daily but has been regularly serviced and well maintained. Clean history report available.

This is a better than bought SSR because it has the corvette engine that actually looks like it should have when built. Same look as the Z06 corvette engine. So much fun to drive and show.
