But you might think you have a "broken" car. A few things on the car are normal but the sales guy did not tell you. If you feel or see the following, they are NORMAL and part of the C7 experience. Many other threads here on WHY it is this way, this is just a list:
1.Tires/front end chatter/clunk on full lock slow turns
2.The motor will turn a few revs before lighting up on start ( engine pressurizing fuel system)
3. Oil may read different levels on non z51 -either side of dipstick due to angle.. Take the average of both sides.
4. The trunk will be hard to close when new, many report it gets better with mileage, some do not. 16’s do not have this problem.
5. when filling up with fuel or unlocking the driver door, you will hear a few clicks near the fuel door, more than one...
6. A minor amt of vibration felt thru the stick shifter is normal.
7. The indentation in the styrofoam batt cover is for a euro tow eye, nothing in this slot for US cars.
8. The first 20%-30% of the throttle response is very damped (numb), especially in Wet, Eco and Tour modes compared to older Vettes and other brands.
9. Upon full acceleration of a automatic, when shifting, it will backfire "bark", due to computer settings/ unburned fuel.
10. The direct injection makes the engine "tick" ...normal
Please feel free to add others to this thread, I will keep the list up to date...

Just kidding about buying a new car. The hatch works great, doesn't matter if doors are open or closed, windows are up or down. Just works great. NO ISSUES HERE with 2016. Just sayin.
