Default Post problems/things you don't like about your C6

I know its easy to fall in love with your car, but it's time to be honest, what don't you like about your car and what problems are you having with it?

the only problem I have is that I have to wait until the 25th to fly to Phoenix to get my vette. I hate the waiting but I have to work to afford the finer things in life. You know what they say good things come to those who wait.

Besides the A6 tranny, body matching headlights and uncomfortable seats...not much.

I love everything about this car, so does my wife. What I don't like is that we can't drive it all year round (by choice). The only issue at this point is that the headlights have developed stress cracks in the lenses. Thankfully, these will be replaced under warranty.

I love my vette plain and simple.... but....... I hate these types of forum strings.

Truth of the matter is if you look hard enough at any vehicle from the cheapest of the cheap to the most expensive you can find issues.

The age old saying.... test something long enough and it will break.

A post like this says your not satisfied with your vette which my input then would be to tell you to sell it and but something you think will be perfect. Once you do that, report back to us and tell us how that worked out for you.

There is nothing 100% perfect in this world.

Drive it, and enjoy it, or sell it.

To be honest, I've been a repeat buyer of vettes for 35 years, because I have been extremely satisfied. Few if any cars match the blend of performance, style, comfort, driving enjoyment and value that the vette has. Many other cars have come and gone from my garage, but a vette has been there consistently all the time.

Not a single problem in over 3 years and not a thing about it I do not like. It is one beautiful and mean beast!

I disagree. Ever hear of constructive criticism? I think you can critic your car without bashing it. I can still love my car but not like everything about it. And that's my opinion.

The one thing that I don't like about my C6 and feel the need to rectify somewhat is the cheap leather and vinyl in the interior. That's really my only complaint. IMO, overall it's one helluva car.

The factory non-Bose stereo is one of the worst I heard and the seats need to be upgraded as well.

1. My head touches the roof
2. Rearview mirror blocks vision of right hand side of windshield
3. Steering wheel is not close enough.

But, these are issues I have any vehicle other than my truck. Now, ask me what I like about my Corvette - that list is a bit longer.

Cheap feeling and looking interior. You have to go upgrade crazy just to make it look decent and feel comfortable
