What better review could you get when the test car is blowing its engine, etc.?

going to be honest. I would be in a AMG GTS or 911 turbo if i could. not a used one, a new one.
the corvette so much more affordable, offers sexy looks, and just as fast as a base 911 or 911S. its going to have down falls.

How could it not be negative. Love the part where GM says a bad filter caused the motor to blow and in the next sentence they say they are investigating for the root cause of the failure. Proves they lie lie lie.

and on top of that, they are over-priced! But do know all cars can have their share of problems and can breakdown!

December update? The most recent update on that car was June.
Their long-term tester exemplifies why I avoid first-year cars. They bought a very early car.

Concur on the first year thing. Especially with GM, I guess year 3-4 is the sweet spot where they figure most issues out and the car's perfect. Not that every 2014 has issues, I'm sure most people are fine with their 2014s.

Quite a few issues even for a first year model.

Ouch....how unfortunate they got a lemon.
Pretty sad when a Jaguar F-Type is more reliable!
