After reading the article I have to agree with a lot of what they are saying. The heated seats are luke warm at best, the infotainment system bites, the shifting isn't the greatest (I don't know why manufactures don't go with old school Ferrari gated shifters, not only are they spot of for shifting they look ultra cool) but that's about it. The likes are spot on, I still get looks and compliments whenever I drive despite being out for 2 years now, my Competition seats are comfortable and hold me well (although I'm far from overweight), the power is decent, I would like more however but that's subjective and easily fixed, the fuel mileage on long hauls is incredible for such a powerful car. Overall I am very pleased and satisfied with my car, it hasn't given me any major headaches (I had to get the displayed fixed (loose connection)) and brings a smile to my face every time I drive it. I love this car and am looking forward to Corvette's next offering.

I always said that if a car doesn't make you look back at it after you park it then you have the wrong car.

We can all hope our engines don't self destruct at 6K miles. Not surprised it didn't perform as well at sub zero temperatures. I give them kudos for driving it year round since most of use would not try this with our C7s especially if there is snow or ice on the roads. We can all hope that GM's QC has improved since the first year of production.
