Happy with my C7
Some of you guys are unbelievable.nitpick, nitpick, nitpick. Bitch, bitch, bitch. I believe some of you would delight in seeing the C7 fail. I have over 650 miles on mine with no issues, #1238. My 2012 C6 had clutch issues at 100 miles and was replaced in the first month.
I have owned over 200 cars and been on a lot of forums and this one has to rank as one of the most nitpicking, opinionated and negative ones I have seen. Just my thoughts. Give me your best shot. Been silent too long.

I used to think that m3forum was worse with their constant pissing contests, but this one gets bad. I kept up to date with C7 new info for 4 months without registering for that same reason.Too much negativity and people wanting it to fail so that they can say "I knew it. You never get a first model car or I want the Hi-PO version (pissing contest) blah blah blah, etc, etc."
I will certainly be enjoying my C7 while those kinds of people just sit in front of the computer making excuses to make themselves feel better. I do truly feel sorry for those with C7's with issues. Rest assured that you will be taken care of.

Let me start by simply saying please DO NOT take this in any way as a slight against the C7, it is more about GM and their lack of quality control...
Does anyone else think the amount of problems seem to be exorbitant? Lastly this is a thread about opinions of people who post here whether they have a 7 or not, please do not turn it into anything else!

Well the quality is not there with Porsche. We had a Cayenne S model that we bought new, and it was a electrical nightmare. 67,000 dollars. It happens to all car manufacturers.

There is no doubt in my mind that GM customer service is a mess. Most Vettes do not have a major problem. Minor issues are fixed quickly be a dealer. Major issues do take time and you have to take it upon yourself to get GM to correct things in a timely fashion. Having said that, if you love Vettes, you have to take the poor service as part of the deal. It should not be that way, but it is. And now, the flame posts will begin!

For my personal taste, there are a couple of things with MyLink I might have designed differently, but I have similar complaints about MS Windows and the Mac OS.
Cars are complex machines and they're going to have design flaws and they're going to break. It doesn't matter who the manufacturer is, that's just the way it is. For those that are having fun trying to "harsh my mellow" with posts denigrating GM, the C7, BG assembly practices, GM QC, etc., party on. I suspect the vast majority of new C7 owners are well more than happy with their buying experience and their car. It's just hard to get the attention of the detractors with a simple "My car rocks, no problems" post.

Oh, BTW, my car rocks, no problems!

I really have no idea what the % of new owners are posters/members here on the forum but it is unreal how many complaints and issues have been posted in a few week period. My point is if we are reading just what is posted here I wonder how many other dissatisfied new owners are out there.
I completely understand that things do happen when a product is mass produced but the amount of problems that have been stated are just staggering. I won't get into the specific issues I've read about but I will ask, why is the apparent build and quality process so seemingly inferior?
I have been with Acura for 21 years and I can tell you that I have never seen with our product paint peeling, parts missing, misalignment, unfilled fluids etc. not to mention the electronic and other issues some have posted here. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying we don't have problems too but we aren't selling iconic 60-70k sports cars, and what problems we do have pale in comparison.
Again this is not about the C7, it's about how disappointing the QC and refinement of the C7 is. For the guys who have a "perfect" car count your blessings, for the guys who are dealing with minor or major issues I hope you can see it through and your cars are also perfect soon.

Unfortunately, until there are hard numbers showing initial quality comparisons, these threads will be nothing more than an opportunity for the GM haters, the drama queens and the chicken little's to bemoan the fate of C7 buyers.
It appears to be the same on every car site, camera site, any site that gives people with too much time on their hands a place to complain about things they really don't know too much about.
Its good to skip these threads but sometimes they sneak up on you.

Preselling--- look it up. What will the upcoming Corvette top dog ZR1 cost? And built by that SAME LOUSY GM plant at Bowling Green! OP also is a big time professional flipper of performance cars. He always has other options for those who would otherwise buy C7s.

Everyone who has been on the forum for a while knows the OP is just having fun stirring the pot. Trying to cover by posting a "serious' question is laughable.
If he is in the car business he obviously knows better,and while I have enjoyed several Acuras myself in the past,they were not without flaws.

Scraping the splitter.
Expectations can be different based on previous experience. If all my previous cars were Bentleys with a flawless fit and finish I will no doubt find problems with the C7. If all I can compare to is a rusted out Camaro the C7 even with missing parts will surpass my expecatations. Diminished expectations will yield diminished results.

Maybe you are on to something. Not saying you are wrong.
To me, this is another bitch and whine thread, just like the other 85% of threads posted here...
I tried to contribute (not with the NSX comment obviously), but it has spiraled out of control, as expected.
Simple fact. Unless you pay a huge premium for a Porsche, EVERY car you buy will have a problem. And even if you get a p car, the chances are still 8 in 10...
Deal with it.
