The only thing I disliked (not hate) about mine was the hard console cover, and I well remember when cars didn't have ANY console arm rests, or even consoles.
So a hard arm rest is a huge improvement over NO armrest, but living in The First World I bought a padded one and life (and the Vette) is good now.

Don't hate anything about mine. I kind of have a rule, if I 'hate' something about anything, I either don't buy it or get rid of it if it's something I find out after purchase.

Smart!
Jeezus, I can't believe I wasted 7 minutes watching such drivel.
Oh, well, I'm retired.
Smart, again!
OP, you are brilliant...yup, it's an '06 and it's 2016 (the brilliant part) but the technology is dated (doot de doot de doo).
Become an engineer when you grow up (not the train kind) and design your own car. People will rush to buy it.

The author of that video needs to quit driving C6s. I've not had any of those problems. Seeing out the window is no problem if you know how to adjust the mirrors, obviously he doesn't.

The posts in my (early) '07 are fine. Mats don't move around, nor is there any other problem with them.
Years ago cars didn't even have any anchors, and the only time I remember that being a "problem" was after I was trying to procreate with my girlfriend in the front seat. Even HAVING anchors under that situation probably wouldn't help.

Shocking that anybody still complains about a creaking top. Less than $10.00 and 15 minutes of your time will end all noise. Mine has been silent with no additional work for over two years.

He should park the Vette and drive his Mommys Prius. Bet he voted for Obama.

Just a guess but you probably weren't trying to "procreate with your girlfriend (glad you clarified that, I was thinking your pet Schnauzer)". You were just rubbing one out.
And, further, years ago cars didn't have floor mats...just rubber flooring. Which probably came in handy when hosing out the inside after a bit of "procreating"...

Stop complaining it's a corvette not a honda as others mentioned. A sports car. If it's too quiet then change the exhaust. Steering squeaks bring it in. Car mat problems I have the same thing but I can deal with it. The problems that I don't like is mechanical ones for example Harmonic balancer problems which is an expensive fix. Your problems the way I see it are no problems
