Convertible Or Coupe

[Raymondo]

I have a question for anybody in the forum that has a convertible C8.
Has any of you had your convertible C8 in for service ? Or experienced any issues with the operation of the roof? I have an allocation and I’m on the fence about ordering a convertible but wondering about reliability and cost of repair if this thing ever malfunctions after the warranty is expired.
Thank you for any feedback
Cheers
Ray

Have had mine for over a year now... 9,000 kms. Top goes up and down very frequently. Have not had any issues.

No problems at all after 12,400 km and a lot of use. I’m not reading about a lot of problems but of course it’s still a fairly new car. I plan to order a convertible ZO6.

I use my HTC all the time, not a single issue

17,500 KM on my HTC and no problem at all. I open and close the top a lot. So far so good!
If you are afraid about the repair cost after warranty you can then buy a PPGM of 6 to 7 years. This will cover the top and almost every other part of the car.

I have 8,000 km's on my HTC and love it. It goes up and down almost every time the car is out, sometimes up and down multiple times per outing. No problems. And I love the look of the HTC with the nacelles. I say do it.

Thank you for the replies. I will be ordering a HTC. Cheers!

I have the coupe, but I have my name on a list for an E-Ray, at which time I will almost certainly get the convertible. It's been a couple of years that the convertible has been available and I haven't heard of any problems, so I think you can feel quite comfortable with your decision. (Now, problems with the transmission....well, that's another story lol! Too bad there's no manual!)
