The way I look at the term "Quality" is that there are a number of factors that influence overall Quality, or lack there of. One factor being how many issues the car has had.

3 months and 4K miles and zero issues. C7 is amazing! 3LT interior is excellent as well.

The quality of my 2104 C7 beats the pants off my 2008 Jaguar XK (which stickered for over $95,000.00 by the way...

Even though I'm having an issue with my one-month-old 2015 (audio system won't recognize USB or SD media), I'm very impressed with the car and its quality. Mine is a 2LT and while the interior isn't quite as luxurious as a 3LT, it's still of very high quality and I'm proud to show it to others. As far as I'm concerned, the entire car just reeks of quality in both materials and assembly. Kudos to GM.

3300 miles in 1.5 months and very impressed. Aside from the oil being over serviced, it has been trouble free!

So far it's been phenomenal, no problems (knock on carbon fiber). 3500 miles. 5 months old. I am pissed off at myself for giving it its first paint nick Sunday. Taking the roof off, I dinged the door jam with the metal corner of the top. It's the size of a pencil point. Most people would never see it but I know it's there!

This thread has been a breath of fresh air. Honest. It has taken the C7 to get me back into a GM showroom after a 35+ year absence.

Ive had every vette starting with the C2. Loved all of them and they keep getting better each edition. Just got my first oil change at 6,000
and everything is perfecto. Also, the rockstar status and attention is still out there. The only complaint I have on the C7 is the seat seems to be built for a smallish butt.

Yay, a positive thread, mostly. No issues at 4000 miles so far.

...and no issues with any of the features associated with 2LT.
Who else is impressed?
One year and except for GM requested rear fluid check (it was fine) and dash light software update it has been perfect. Two workarounds with seat memory and closing rear hatch but they are simple. Wish all my MS and other software workarounds were as easy!
