Beautiful inside and out. Normally the side bolsters, if made of leather, show wrinkles very quickly in most cars, but my leather still looks pretty good (not like the vettes I've owned with ****-quality leather). The only I've had to take it in for was the fuel gauge not lighting all the way up, which there is an existing thread about. However, that problem was quickly fixed and has not been an issue.
The leather is a joke in the C6. My Trans Am (both the '95 and '01) was better, and the C5 was better. Hell, even my 2002 G20 has nicer leather, (although through lack of care for its first 110K miles the side-bolster on the seat-cushion is cracking a tad) Whoever at LEAR/GM decided that that leather was acceptable for any car over $12,000MSRP needs to be let go.

That is a big deal about why I want to trade. I had my rocket ship, now I want a nimble little car with a very nice interior and good looks. 370Z should do it, although had Honda continued to evolve the S2000, I would have looked there, too. Moot point, Honda doesn't make sports cars anymore. *sigh*
