Getting to know her!?!?

Awesome car. 2007 Base in 'passion red' # 225 of 250. First roadster I've ever owned, so I can say its the best I've ever owned. Purchased last year with 98k miles and the car runs and drive like new. Everything works (for now) its been a lot of fun getting to know it.

Perfect

I’m 60 years old and owned at least 50 cars from low end to high end cars. This car is the BEST vehicle I’ve ever owned it has it all good looks, awesome performance, all kinds of luxury appointments, superior ride especially for a roadster, roomy I’m 6 4 230 and have ample room. Convertible top works flawlessly and hardly any road noise. I will always own at least one of these until the day I die. Absolutely love it!

I Love This Car

This car creates quite a STATEMENT. VERY IMPRESSIVE! This immaculate convertible is pure smooth luxury that is a joy to drive. I have two of these! I moved and I have too few parking spaces and too many cars.

Fun car

Very attractive vehicle. I love the retractable hard top. Wish it was a little longer. Seems to be made for a shorter driver than me 5’ 11”

You have to own one to understand!

This is one of the best riding cars I have ever owned. I can feel every pebble in the steering wheel. the handling is amazing with the magnetic ride control. Only wish GM would keep the parts available so people could continue to enjoy them!

Most enjoyable car I?ve ever owned.

Fun to drive. The performance of the north star engine is supreme. This car turns heads! Love the top up or down on the XLR. The lines are gorgeous either way.

Gets a lot of attention!

For a small car it has a lot of room. A Lot of extras. Fun to drive! Always wanted something like this! My wife loves this car and all of her friends are jealous!

WoW I Love this Toy!

I have had for Corvettes to date. A 1980, 1974 convertible, 1995 LT1 and a 2003 ZO6 Corvette. This one is better than all of them put together. Absolutely love the handling as well as a retractable roof by the touch of a button. this is definitely going to be a collectible in years to come. They are steal right now until people find out how excellentthey drive.
