Friend swore never to buy a GM product after the government bailout stiffed bond holders, many of whom were elderly. However, he was seduced by the new Corvette Stingray and bought a 2015 Z-51, 2LT model after reading numerous positive reviews. The upside is he loves the car’s performance but there are two irritating issues that can not be fixed and are ignored by Chevrolet: loud squeaky brakes and an automatic transmission that hesitates between first and second on the initial shift after the car has been sitting. The car has been to the dealer 3-4 times under warranty but the problem persists. In reading the Corvette Forum, he found that this was a fairly common problem although the dealership acts as if this is unique to him. My wife wanted me to consider a Chevy Traverse but based on his treatment and problems we’ll be getting another Honda or Toyota. How can you trust a company that won’t stand behind its’ top or certainly most visible product?
Squeaky brakes are not a real problem. Auto shifting is always a problem solved by buying the manual transmission.
YMMV...
I don’t like the look of the new Corvettes. They look like crap......................
