Well, first of all it's not a Chevrolet but an Australian Holden Commodore SS.
I have been driving this car for 8 years now (starting with the model of 99 and now the 07 model) and I am a big fan.
Yes, it's true - the interior is cheap and the older versions had trouble with transmission/ differential but those days are gone.
The power of the engine is amazing and the safety record of the car is quite good (if you can drive it).
Was test-driven by TOP GEAR and got good points.
It tends to fish-tail when powered out of a curve but on the straights it will go nose to nose with a Porsche Boxter any day.
Fuel?? Let's face it - not an issue here... :)
You might want to check out the insurance...it can be heavy as it is considered a sportscar afterall.
Try to get a second-hand (expat driven) as the car loses value of about 20K the moment you put it on the road but otherwise the re-sell is good as not many of them survive their first year on the road (in Dubai they call them suicide bomber)
