I have questions! 1- if the engines stops when you stop and stars when you take the foot of the brake the engines comes back on, wouldn't that kill the starter?

2 - can the car keep operating the the little electric motor goes bad? because image when that think stops working; I guess is going to cost a fortune to replace.

@denisrenelara The electric motor is very robust, it shouldn't hurt it to start and stop all the time. My guess is the car won't operate properly if the motor goes bad. It would have to be replaced, just like any hybrid. Looking at it's mounting point, it appears that it wouldn't be too hard to replace but that's just a guess.

2011 has not ended yet, but somehow this is 2013 model? Why not from 2020? Geez, this is stupid. Will 2.5-liter model be available in Eco version? Should one wait for the 2.5? Also, I've read comments about noise from the fan located in the back, which sucks air from the cabin to cool the battery. Can you comment on that? Overall, I appreciate GM offering this car with a 2.4 or 2.5 (e-Assist or turbo) instead of humongous and thirsty V6. I like the idea of "soft hybrid" too.

@ThereIsMike I was in the car for hours and never heard a fan from the battery. If you need fold down seats and (probably) a lower initial price tag you might want to wait. You'll have to wait until summer to get the standard versions though. As for the model year, well, what can I say?

I like the high-quality video that sets your channel apart from the amateurs. How about MPG figures, please.

[Chrispisz12]

Why does everybody forget about the Kizashi? It's such a good car!

[stewardlie]

Is that real twins or just great video editing? I have been watching a lot of his videos, couldn't tell.

@columbuscrewfan20 I'm ashamed that you are a Buckeye. I worked for Ricart for 8 years, you couldn't GIVE me a Ford truck. My 08 Silverado was perfect. the only reason I traded it in was I needed a 4x4. My '10 is also perfect. And Chrysler is the worst.

[columbuscrewfan20]

I would never but a chevy again. Brought 08 silverado a big mistake. Chevy makes shitty car hand down worst than Chrysler.
