I picked up my C7 2 weeks ago. This is the 7th Corvette that I've owned. My last car was a 2005 convertible & it had 75K miles on it when I sold it in June. I buy my cars to drive & enjoy. So here is my review from that perspective. My C7 sounds like one of the typical cars out so far - Cyber Gray, Kalhari interior, 3LT, Z51, Mag ride control, Perf exhaust, chrome wheels - loaded. It ran $70K and my dealer did no mark-up. It was actually cheaper than I had expected.
I have over 500 miles on it so far. The performance is amazing as advertised. The car is amazing overall but here are a couple of my critiques:
* Rear view mirrors seem kind of small compared to previous models. I have a bigger blind spot that I need to get used to quickly.
* Bluetooth is great when you are alone in the car, otherwise your call is no longer private.
* Infotainment system took a while to fully understand.
* The driver seat frame is pinched in a little too tight at mid thigh. It requires a lot of readjusting while I drive.
* The gas filler pipe/nozzle - is there some trick to getting the gas in smoothly? I have to run the gas in about half speed to keep the nozzle from kicking off.
EVERYTHING else is fantastic for me. I have no fit/finish or paint issues with mine. That speaks to a much improved quality control in my opinion. It has been a head turner everywhere I go and people are taking pictures like crazy.
