Here is a 6 month review for my scat pack. Maybe help new buyers or get some thoughts from others.
Car- 2015 Scat pack, phantom black, 6 speed, black wheels, Appearance package, and leather group. Yes I got the bees. Ordered in march delivered in April.
First off don't take any of the cons as I hate the car, just being honest. Love the car, have owned a 2010 camaro SS, Two old trans ams, and a 2001 WS6. By far the best car.
Paint- Pretty good for a factory job. Paint sparkles in the sun, and looks little charcoal, in the dark its black. I have found very little orange peel.
Mechanically- No issues, strong motor and transmission. Some of that hemi tick you heard about. Have a recall on the board for it, probably will have them check the tick for piece of mind.
Interior- Layout, fit and function is great, well made. I have the suede seats they are nice. Still debating if they are worth the 1500 bucks. The venting is nice, ill never use the heat in them. Guess if I had to do it over again I probably would have preferred leather(which they didnt offer) or just gone with the cloth.
Exterior-Looks the best out of the 3 muscle cars if you ask me. Again well built.
Now for some Cons or somethings I think that can be improved on.
Parking Brake- My biggest pet peeve by far is there is no hand brake for a standard transmission, not thought out if you ask me.
Trunk Lid- Its heavy for a trunk and there is no assist to pop it up. Also no strap to pull it down. which means you have to touch it to do it, which leads to more opportunity for scratches. The worst part of it is the water draining, on this trunk. Ill wash it the day before park in garage and next day still be draining.
Rocker panels- the matte black plastic is on a lot of cars these days. Personally the stuff never stays clean. Should have been body color matched.
Interior Cons- The map lights up front are like the only non led lights in the car, come on really, the one thing that looks cheap on the car if you ask me. Next the dimming of the dash lights, its really not graduated, it either goes light or dark for the most part.
Cruise control- rather eradic. I see deviation of 3mph either way. I know most cars when going up hill or down, or just starting cruise, it will flucuate. But this car seems to be the worst one Ive ever had.
Infotainment- actual use and layout is really good in comparison to other stuff Ive owned. Only thing I hate is the talk to text option works good, but has way to many prompts and are you sure you want to do this to make me want to use it a lot. Lastly maybe Im missing something. But why cant there just be a home a home screen to turn it off to with a simple clock or something. It seems you either have to hit mute or turn the screen totally off.
