Default Which C7?

I currently have a C6 and am interested in C7. Which years are the best and is there a year that I need to avoid? Heard somewhere that some had an engine problem. Any advice?? Thx

There's some discussion on the forums about the automatic transmissions. If you're interested in an auto tranny, you should research that. If you're buying an M-7, I couldn't find any reason to buy or not buy a particular year. The 2014 has not followed the previous concern about the first year being a problem year, not that the C5 or C6 had that many problems. I went with a low mileage, mid year 2014.

2015's - Bad torque converters and roof creaking. TSB for roof and new pins and strikers installed. My money would be on a 2016 or 2017.

The only major concern that seems to get a lot of press is the A8 transmission.
