I have an 07 and yeah I broke the interior door handle. $50 for shiny plastic!
The visibility is terrible. With the "slat" windows my pupils dilate and the dumb chrome gauge surrounds catch reflections and bug me somehow.
The rear luggage space is actually pretty small once you account for all the plastic junk taking up room. IMO it's sabotaged to coax you into buying a more profitable Tahoe.
I mostly like the throttle by wire, though giving it a tiny goose to move up in traffic usually overshoots, wasting gas and brake. I like the quick shifts with the engine cutting power and/or rev matching. 4-2 downshifts normally feel harsh in other cars but this just goes at it nicely.
I get the 31 MPG the trip computer claims, maybe 33 on long trips.
The headlights haven't yellowed yet, still clear.
Fighting a brake judder/ "warp" / rattly steering intermediate shaft.
Weird (to me) having a dry engine/ trans underneath with no leaks anywhere. Burns no oil. Top off the antifreeze a couple times a year though.
Rear springs had to be done for state inspection, they broke right at the end inside the rubber "protective" covering. $35 a pair though, can't complain.
In my search for snow tire rims in the oddball 5x110 pattern, I got used SAAB rims. I chucked the center caps but it's still cast into the aluminum if one looks closely.
I just peeled off the plastic cladding on the rear doors. Rust was peeking out from behind. I wirebrushed the rust off and it didn't go through-- maybe that zinc dip they brag about is good for something. Was able to get the double sided sticky tape off the paint-- you can barely see it and the car looks good without them. In fact the newer models dumped the silly things.
