September Production on my car (VIN 1818). One minor issue which I plan on having the dealer address when the oil change is due is my radio, which has inexplicably not worked 2 times. The center infotainment lights up like it should, but no sound comes out. After I re-start the car, the radio magically worked again. Other than that, it's been 2600 trouble-free miles. I love the car.

As others have said, the big question is whether you are going for a stick or auto ( unless you really want the PDR which is the performance data recorder coming on the 2015 as an option). The advantage to the 2014 auto A6, is it's tried and proven with all the latest improvements for the A6. The downside is, it will be obsolete in 2 1/2 months when the new A8 with supposed dual clutch comparable performance starts being produced on the 2015. Course if one waits and buys a 2015 A8, they become the first year guinea pigs for the A8. Pros and cons either way. If you are buying a stick, no real reason to wait unless you don't want what will be last years model very shortly. Some people just get off in telling people they have the latest and greatest

Otherwise [BUYING STICK], you are buying first year, but most/all the bugs have been worked out in these 8 months and 20 some thousand cars produced.
Car #1 would have been iffy. Car #26,000 should be care free.

You will love the difference. I traded in my '07 C6 and the 7 is a totally better car.

7K "regret-free" Z51 2LT manual miles here. Bliss.

Vettefan666

Same situation here. Going to the Vette show in southern NH Sunday?

R0NIN

Same here...19.7 Vin

Me as well!

Surprisingly, I have zero issues. Like... none.

My biggest complaint is the quality of paint but sadly it seems like GM doesn't think it's a problem because they seem to not be bothering to address it.

The car itself runs like a champ. I just went on a long business trip. I left the car alone for one month with no battery charger attached (can't in my building). I got in it thinking it would be dead, pressed the starter button, and it started as if I drove it yesterday.

This is a darn good car.

I traded my 2008 for my Stingray 4 weeks, 2 days ago. So far, no problems and no regrets!!
I spent much of last weekend transferring CD music to a USB drive, since the C7 does not have a CD player. Hey, If I can figure out how to do that, anyone can!! Don't let all the new electronic stuff scare you away. Learn one thing at a time.
The C7 is a much more powerful and refined car than the C6. It's amazing, truly amazing!! I hope you decide to get one!

I have had my AW vert just a couple of weeks now (built in March). No mechanical or electrical problems to far. There is a small stress crack (about 1.25"), thin as a hair on the top of my driver's door. Taking it back to the dealer tomorrow for a look. Otherwise, AWESOME, simply AWESOME!!!!

1800 miles on my Z51 7sp 2LT and love it, no issues so far.

The 2014 C7 has been nothing like the 2005 C6, which had a number of issues. There simply are not as many issues and they are not as severe. In upcoming years the 2014s will definitely not be viewed like the 2005 were.

The C7 has been remarkably trouble-free for a 1st year model.

Got mine in January. Zero problems.

1 - No problems at all.

2 - As for 1lt vs 2lt, i was in a similar situation. with the 2014s..
I wanted a completely Base 1lt Vert with automatic = $60345 msrp
Kerbeck only had one left and was offering a $3000 discount. Plus I had an additional $3000 rebate from my GM card = $54345.

All the other cars in the area were loaded up coupes (no discounts) and verts for minimum $65K up to $80K

If I hadn't been able to buy the Base 2014 vert I would have waited for a 2015 for a completely base coupe or vert with the A8. I do not like options except automatic and maybe NPP.

3 - As Snorman stated, A6 or A8 if you wait.
No question the A8 will be an improvement, just as the A6 was better than the A4 in reducing thise in-between flat spots in acceleration, but...

I only care about the 1/4 mile, and yes the A6 was better than the A4 in the 1/4, but even though the A8 shifts will be lightning fast, if another shift is needed in the 1/4 I don't know if that will improve 1/4 mile times over the A6....

The new A6 shift programming is much better than it was in the C6, I love it, no regrets on my 2014.

Plus, I needed immediate gratification

4,000 miles. Took delivery 10/1/13. Only issue is the radio has problems locking onto a lot of stations.

The cracks in the front fenders that are covered up at Bowling Green would be a concern to me for starters.

RedC7AZ

So far there are 1 or 2 known cars out of 25,000 with this issue.

You need to change your statement to 2 or 3 since 2 are listed on a thread not that far from this one. Rounding down adds to the cover-up.

I think if we saw a true list of all the problems we would be surprised vs making each problem go away because its not on our specific car.

Just the problems listed on this board are a bit more than I'd like to see.
