2006 Chevrolet SSR Preview summaryImage

The 2006 Chevrolet SSR is a nice car: it has retro-styling and pays homage to its roots (the 70s classic El Camino). However, Chevy for some reason thought customers would want to pay upwards of $36,600. We're talking near-Corvette dollars for a car on a frame based on the Chevy TrailBlazer.

Admittedly, the engine is more 'Vette than 'Blazer. It has a 6.0-liter V8 rated at 395 horsepower for a 4-speed automatic and at 400 horsepower for a 6-speed manual.

The SSR raised a lot of interest as a convertible version of a car-truck. Did you get that? Unfortunately for Chevrolet, most consumers didn't either.

I have a 2006 SSR & love it. I sold a 2001 Mercedes 500 SL & a 1995 Corvette & kept my SSR it rides great, carves a corner like a steak knife & runs like a bat out of hell & is the coolest vehicle I have ever owned. It is so fun to drive this thing top up or top down its a blast. My wife & I have taken it on several long vacations & enjoy it more every trip,Plus we have enough room in the bed to haul all the luggage or souvenirs we want. We hated taking the Corvette or the Mercedes on vacations because of the limited space in the back. The corvette had room for a duffel bag & 2 small suit cases . The Mercedes had a little more room but still no room if you wanted to take a suit bag or dresss The SSR has room for a Suit/Dress bag 2 duffell bags 2 suit cases a couple of folding chairs Plus a hail protector that covers the SSR if you arr caught in a hail storm. Traveling is so much easier in this.Aug 31, 2023

2004 with 305 HP. Nice rumble and plenty of power, though the 05 & 06 have the bigger HP & that would be nice. Not a quiet ride, but a very fun car to drive and it gets lots of looks & compliments. Fact that it is a hard-top convertible is the coolest part other than the retro looks. Getting parts after accidents is not easily done. Just a fun car.Jul 18, 2023
