OK...I've had my Stingray since May of last year. I've put over 50,000 miles on it. I've done a few track events, however most of my use has been crisscrossing the U.S. In other words, I've driven it and enjoyed it.

All but one of my issues is what I'd consider minor, and were all repaired here in Seattle after having issues with the place in Durham.

The long term annoyance is an issue with the drivers seat and the track. It's apparently a known issue that they don't have a fix for yet. It really only affects things if the seat is fully retracted and lowered. Since you can program where the seat will retract to, you can set that 1/8 of an inch forward and won't experience the issue. Other Stingrays I've checked don't do what mine does. Essentially the presets don't work properly on my seat when the seat is fully retracted...there's physical resistance that I believe cuts the switches from working until you move the seat forward from the seat control on the side of the seat.

I had a drivers side mirror that the controls to adjust it no longer did anything. Apparently the Durham service department forgot to hook it up again when investigating the seat issue. Did I mention I stopped going there because of other issues I had with them? Of course they forgot to hook it up again. Sigh.

My center display started acting up, like the contacts were no longer working. This happened right around 45,000 miles. They replaced the screen under extended warranty.

I had one recall they fixed as well.

Overall, this car is amazing. I would recommend it to anyone. All of the stuff listed above is mostly minor except for the screen issue. We'll see how many screens fail on the whole fleet of C7s in a few years.
