Sitting in the C7
Went into the dealer I have the C7 on order from. They had one on the floor. Had hardly sat in one before, wanted to get a better impression of how it felt. Battery was dead so couldn’t move the seat back.
Older guy came out and looked for the battery under the hood. I said “it’s under the hatch by the passenger's side”. He looked at me like I was a moron. Later found it and made excuses about the different covers.
Engine compartment seems very uncluttered considering how much engine is residing there.
Found out they had one off the floor and was going to test drive it. Just arrived and was already sold. At least I got to sit in it and check leg room. Plenty of room, seat fits perfectly, feels terrific.
Since I had asked about a test drive, they were concerned that I wanted to drive the sold car. Said no, I wouldn’t want my “sold” car test driven and wouldn’t ask that of them. They were pleased with that.
The very positive impression just makes me that much more eager to get ours. Don
