I just reach 500 miles tonight, I have been waiting for that moment. I drove the car carefully during the break in except during my test drive. I pushed hard on the car today to experience the power.

My impression:

What I like:
1- The power: The car is very powerful, I was very impressed with the response. It is breathtaking. I have driven many powerful cars including M3 BMW. I do have an infiniti FX which is powerful but this car is more powerful. The acceleration is amazing. It makes you feel high, without knowing you are arround 80-90 miles/h.

2- More refined than my base. I like having the lock/unlock switch. I like the premium headliner. I like the Logo on the seats.

3- The handeling is impressive and the car is very steady on high speed.

4- The look is unbelievable, I had the base for 11 months then I got the GXP and the car still look as beautiful. It is just perfect looking from wherever you look at it.

What I do not like:
1- The cup holders: I wish GM had fixed this issue since I had my 2006 base.
2- I prefer my 2 tones leather that I had with my base but it does not come with the GXP.
3- The is air sound at over 65 m /h speed (i had it with the base), the insulation is not that good.
4- I wish there was more storage space. However, this car is a second or a third car.

The problems:
1- My driver buttress is not going all the way back when released. I will wait a little before I take it to the dealer, it may losen up.
2- The seats are little wrinkled, I will keep eye on them.

I am enjoying this car, I am happy that I got this instead of my base. I was just missing the power in the base otherwise it was a great car.
