What Don't You Like About Your C7?

Other than that, this the best Corvette out of 15 owned.

A bit more interior room would be nice.
Windshield is slightly too low on convertible with top down to get my forehead completely out of the air flow. Or the seat needs to go a bit lower.
Visors look dorky with convertible top off. Need to fold forward out of the way, or be easily removable or something. I guess leaving them stick up helps with the airflow.
Trunk volume is needlessly smaller than it could be. Simply do a better job on the rear interior trim could add almost a cubic foot in the 1LT (aftermarket vendor opportunity!).
Kind of angry that the promised apps for the in-dash computer never materialized. If GM is not going to make an app store, maybe they could publish the keys and let somebody else do it?
Please put the tire temp and pressure together on info display.
Make the car on the display match the color and model of the car. Sort of glaring in the convertible.
Speaker grill on drivers door takes a lot of scuffs. A little more room here and an easier-to-clean material would help.
Convertible top should have full-cycle auto-up so you can walk away from the car while it is putting top back up.
Convertible top should have full-cycle auto-down so you can put it down without having to hold the button while driving. Run out of hands in the manual.
Front license plate holder is really dorky.
"Aero panel" is better, but there are better designs for front license plate mounting as people have demonstrated.
Ditch the run-flat tires. They are noisier and compromise performance with the heavier un-sprung weight. (but don't add a spare - maybe include a can of fix-a-flat or something).
Offer a factory all-season tire option for those of us who live where the average temperature is only 40 degrees.
Fix the oil-in-the-intake problem.
Fix the spewed oil on my driveway problem.
Display of radio stations on the speedometer screen is dorky. Not much value in just listing the station number when you have the names and other info.
Ditch the analog gauges completely.
Wish my 2014 had been offered with a dark badges option (fixed on 2015).
Wish NPP had an always-always-open mode.
Wish the infotainment system integrated with streaming from my Xbox Music Pass on my Windows Phone.
Seatbelt upper mount is too low on me.
Seatbelt receiver is buried too deeply - hangs up on the pockets of my pants.
Mirrors could match the body styling a bit more. Also, slightly larger mirror surface would be appreciated.
I always swish the rearview mirror could move higher (not angle higher, but be mounted higher).
No way to adjust rearview mirror without leaving fingerprints.

Overall, I love it, and would buy it again in a heart beat.
My wishlist would include a few options that you find on newer Mercedes vehicles:
* blind spot assist
* distronic plus
* brake assist plus
* night view assist
Other than that:
* offer an OEM catchcan / oil separator that drains back to the pan (Volvo does this)
* offer all-season Continental DWS for folks who live in the colder climates
* transparent roof should come with a removable OEM shade
* front and rear side markers should have a continuous strip of light (like a glow stick) rather than a single bulb which shows through the amber/red lens (see my avatar)
* offer a front curb assist camera

when you look at your car it shows the lack of thinking on the side markers, silly for a car that sets the trends
Jefferson 2013GS and ordering a 2015 next week maybe

1. Blind spot monitoring. I have in my DD and once you have it and use it, it is worth its weight in gold. The rear sightlines and rear visibility out of the vert. with the top up, is challenging at best.
2. Get rid of that cheap plastic smell, some have called it offgassing in the car. Mine is 3 months old and the smell is still there. I have been putting Adams detail spray on a microfiber just for its pleasant odor to try and mask the Toys R Us nasal experience I get.

I would like the heated seats to actually heat and the ventilated seats to ventilate as expected.
I would like a C6 style hatch pull down so I don't have to open the door to close the hatch.
Car is phenomenal!

Sound deading should have been standard on the base car and deleted on the Z51. Then the C7s would appeal to a wider audience and we'd all be happier with our choices.

This is easy....
It is a magnificent car, but it is cramped, cramped, cramped. Period.

Other than the noisy convertible roof (which I am currently working out with the dealer), I wish they had done a slightly better job of working the "lines" of the convertible roof into the styling of the rest of the car (think BMW 6 series vert, or Jaguar XK)
