What happened to the paddle shifters on 2015 base

boxienuts · 05-22-2015, 10:53 PM

Today I traded my black 2012 with aero kit automatic with paddle shifters, for a silver 2015 with aero kit and automatic. i was 10 miles from the dealer when i realized it did not have paddle shifters. Also I do not see the overdrive anymore either.
Not a big deal, I was just wondering what year that became an option for base?

I like the bluetooth, cool black chrome wheels and the LED lights, and will probably get more use out of the bluetooth than paddle shifters anyway, so still have a smile on my face.

What do you mean by 'with aero kit'? The sports package?

Also, what do you mean by overdrive?

Is it a 'Z'?

Wow. Surprised to hear this. I actually like the base Z with the dark 18's, no wing, and cheap price. But the lack of paddles kind of stinks.

hate to burst your bubble, but the new base Z's also don't come with the LED sidemarkers. the Z emblem is there, but will not blink when using turn signals.

It is JUST the base, the sport & touring options still have the paddle shifters.

Why did you trade your '12 in for a '15, was it problematic....

kenchan · 06-23-2015, 04:56 PM
