2017 Chevrolet SS

Consider the SS a stealth weapon: a serious performance car cloaked in a restrained exterior with a spacious, comfortable cabin. But its ferocious speed, responsive handling, and fantastic brakes keep pace with many high-end sports sedans. The rear-drive SS comes fully loaded and is powered by a burbling, 415-hp, 6.2-liter V8. Controls are simple, and standard safety gear includes forward-collision alert, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitors, and a back-up camera with cross-traffic alert. A firm but tolerable ride and a paltry 17 mpg overall are modest drawbacks that go with the territory.

Brand context

About Chevrolet

<p>Once a purveyor of all things automotive, Chevrolet has shifted its focus toward SUVs and pickup trucks, with the supercar-like Corvette being a notable exception. It has been pioneering with electric vehicles, and it continues to introduce new EVs. Most models have roomy interiors, easy-to-use controls, and good array of standard safety and convenience technology. Several models, however, have poor visibility and lack steering agility. Many Chevrolets rate average or below average for reliability in CR’s rankings, resulting in few carrying our recommendation. The Suburban and Tahoe can keep three rows of passengers comfortable within their enormous cabins. The Silverado pickup truck competes with the best-selling Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 by balancing interior comfort with towing and cargo capability. With some exceptions, used Chevrolets can have reliability issues, but are often less expensive to maintain and repair than competitors.</p>
