Vapor trail gray...
455 HP, 32 MPG hwy, handling, comfort, sharp appearance, performance...what's not to like? My apologies to the Demon owner...I hope you find your doors soon... but I just couldn't help myself...weather mode works well in wet/snow conditions. It’s not all wheel drive, but a stable rear wheel drive platform. Respect the conditions and it will be fine. Can’t beat the handling in warm weather. Wife loves it on long trips...now if there was just a way to recline the passenger seat a bit more ... 😉

Apparently not for New England area
I have had my new Corvette for about a month and the negative features overshadow the thumbs up I get from lots of folks. The biggest gripe is this so called fuel saving feature. If while cruising along I have to back off the gas, slow down and reapply, the transmission stays in high gear and I can feel the car jerking to get up a hill. No engine lights have come on. This is my 4th Corvette and now I am wishing I had of gotten the standard transmission.

The 2014 Corvette Stingray Coupe
They don’t write songs about Volvo’s or Porsche’s, right ? The C7 Corvette in any trim form is a fine American Made quality automobile. Fast, reliable, comfortable, fun factor of 10. Have enjoyed 22,000 trouble free miles. You feel like “king of the road” when driving a C7. The C7 in short is as close to a street legal race car as you will ever drive. Did I mention the fun factor?...the C7 is addicting to drive. Test drive one and you will see what I’m talking about. You owe it to yourself...buy a C7 Corvette and have the time of your life. A “car guys” or car gals” car. No issues after 26,000 miles of fun drives. A mint condition Torch Red Coupe with Chrome wheels still turns heads and inspires questions 10 years later. Personally I still prefer the C7 over the mid engine C8 after driving both extensively. I prefer the openness of the C7 interior vs the cramped feeling inside the C8. As for the performance difference it’s negligible between the two Corvettes. The C8 has the exact same engine as the C7. The C8 weighs more by about 350 pounds. The handling of the C8 is a bit better under very spirited driving conditions but again that’s about it. Styling is always personal. I like looking over a long hood when driving vs a stubby little nose of the C8. All personal however.

2014 C7
I now have driven 25K miles w/o any problems. Fit and finish are great & no mechanical issues. I've owned a C5 & a C6 Z51. Waiting to order the C8. The C7 out performs both. The curb appeal is amazing. Going from Touring mode to Sport mode on twisty roads clearly demonstrates the dramatic improvement that GM has built into this car. Straight line performance is scary and amazing at the same time. This is a fun ride.

Stung by quality issues and serious defects
One last update....requested by Edmunds. I traded the Vette earlier this Spring for an SL 550. A few weeks later GM sent another recall advisory about the gas tank filler tube. Apparently it has a defect that allows it to separate from the tank, causing fumes to enter the interior and a potential fire or explosion source. They offer a full 10 year replacement warranty once you prove the issue exists. I forwarded the notice to the dealer who passed it on to the new owner. BTW, my new SL has similar ride mode selection except this actually produces a noticeable difference in engine shift patterns, performance and suspension changes. The only noticeable change for the Vette was a louder exhaust in Sport Mode, until it cut down to 4 cylinders after a few seconds of driving. Good luck to any Vette buyers. Just don’t count on loving it for more than a few weeks or months. Here's another update requested my Edmunds. The squealing breaks remain an issue. The last service "could not find or repeat" the issue yet they squealed all the way home! Apparently many others have recognized the issues where GM is now greatly discounting the prices on new vehicles. Can't wait to trade this in for a better quality car. Edmunds asked me to update the review since I first posted, see the original comments below. It took over 6 months for GM and the dealer to replace the infotainment system and required multiple follow up calls and threats of lemon law suit to get it resolved. At least now it's working as designed. However the design is awful and the owners guide instructions are poorly written. I've had it service every 2,500 miles and until last service was at the Turnersville Chevrolet where I bought it. Recently I moved about 5 miles away, no longer in walking distance to the dealer. To my surprise the dealer refuses to provide a rental car replacement... At my cost, unless it's for warranty service. Each service calll required a full day and lots of prompting at 5pm to get my car bake. Most times it was not done and required another full day for service. The last time I switched to Pellegrino Chevrolet for service and couldn't believe the difference. I dropped off the car at 5pm, was out the door in 5 minutes with a rental that was waiting for me, was called at 10:30 am the next day that service was done and when I came back to pick it up, the receptionist took about 5 minutes before I was on my way. The remaining issue is the front brakes still squeal a shrill ring when stopping at very low speed. The Turnersville dealer told me several times this was normal... It's a race car! Original review: I've had my z51 automatic for 2 months now and just over 800 miles... minus the 10 days it sat at the dealer for replacement of the torque tube and bad bearings. My neighbor called the rattler due to all the noise from under the car. The infotainment system is full of bugs, loudly prompts " Please say a command" at random times. The nav screen goes haywire like a 50's TV set and the temp setting controls are awful and won't maintain a constant temp. GM now acknowledged the system issues but has no fix, stating they "may" have a fix in late February. The steering design is poor where tight turns at low speed are lumpy, yet the GM manual says this is "normal".
