2005 Chevrolet Corvette consumer reviews

This is not your buddy's Mustang, your college roommate's Camaro, or even your grandfather's classic GTO. This is American engineering at it's finest at an affordable price. This is the car you buy when you're done playing around with hot hatches, performance sedans, and even muscle cars. This car feels like it's built specifically to do one thing, go fast. But in reality, this car does a lot of things very well. Yeah, sure, when you get down to it this is a very fast car. The engine ignites with a growly burble and bellows baritone anywhere north of 2K RPM, with an intoxicating thrust that makes you feel like you're piloting a rocket-ship. The power is impressive, but it's not the most impressive thing about this car. The brakes are big; you could only stop faster if you hit a tree. The sport suspension and wide tires make you feel like you're riding around on rails. The car feels light and nimble; the only thing holding this car back is the driver's skill! But with all its performance it has a ton of civility; the car is quiet, comfortable, with a really nice ride (avoid bumps where possible); the heated seats hug and hold you tight, and are endlessly adjustable. The dual climate control keeps you comfortable while driving around. The transmission lets you get up to any speed, lazily, even providing 28MPG on the highway if you drive it economically; very efficient for a 6.0L V8 with 400+ HP. The stereo is loud and clear, the targa roof comes off when the weather begs you to go topless, and the driver-centric cockpit with the driver information center and heads-up display make you feel like this car was made for you. If you're ready for a car that thrills you at a whim and coddles you when you just want a comfy ride home; with looks that can draw a crowd, then you can't pass-up test driving a C6 Corvette Z51!

Ordered my C6 in Sept 2004 from the plant in Kentucky. Took delivery from Rockville Md. dealer in December 2004 and immediately drove it to Dallas Tx. with 20 year old nethew. Spent the night in Nashville and started full throdle to Dallas in the morning. I quickly realized this car wants to cruze at 95mph, so I let her roll thru Arkansas. Best Ameriacan muscle car money can buy. I've totally enjoyed every bit of it. Highly recommend.

This is my third vette. I just love them . When she flies down the freeway, I understand way Danica loves to drive. Great car. Dealership experiance- not the greatest. We were there for 4 hrs. They had to ship the car after fixing a problem . They did make it right. I love the car.

the car is everything owner said it was, i am very pleased....would use this website again if I ever was looking for a used car again

After drooling over C6 corvettes since their introduction in 2005, I have always wanted one but never seriously looked for one. I bought mine by accident looking for a used filing cabinet in a local used stuff publication. When I saw the ad I knew I had to look at it. Its velocity yellow which is an awesome color and gets so many compliments. I owned three C4 corvettes and this is light years ahead. Superb engineering, great styling and a blast to drive. I bought mine w/ 78k miles now has almost 94k miles and I have not had one problem (knock on wood). Car still looks and drives almost new. I would absolutely buy this car again and love driving it. Gas mileage is unreal for a 400hp car (20 city 28-31 hwy). Car gets so many looks. Bought it so cheap. What a steal!!!

I was contacted by several salesman by this company on a 2005 Corvette in black and every time they would agree on the sales amount and when I would be ready to wire the money, the sales manager would say it was sent to auction and wanting higher price or other lies. A total dishonest car dealer you need to avoid.

Well this car is the real deal!! Wanted a Vette for a long time !!! The look of the c6 is awesome ,and the handling of this machine is unreal.. I do think i will own a Vette for a long time..

I have had one before and just had to have one more. It is just fill good car. I have it for weekend use only and would not advise cross country trips in it the suspension is quite stiff.

I looked for an open air sports car and decided on the C6 Corvette. The car I purchased is 8 years old yet it looks and drives like new. It is comfortable / stylish and performs like cars that are much newer and more expensive. This is a truly amazing car for the price.

I've always wanted a Corvette and I finally broke down and bought one. I found a used 2005 with less than 15k miles on it for less than $30K (april 2012). Fully loaded, this was half the original sales price. After driving it for 2 months now, I can't say I've enjoyed driving another car any more. Everytime I get in it, I'm happy to drive. I've been a fan of the Japanese Hatchback compacts sports cars owning a WRX and a Mazdaspeed 3 in the past. The Corvette out handles and is far faster than both AND it gets better gas mileage! The 6-speed gear box feels tight and the car is comfortable driving a regular speeds. It's ready to go when you want it to though. The interior is very comfortable, just maybe a little too much plastic. Definitely don't regret getting it at all, even being a two seater. My 75 lbs dog is also very at home in the back as well :)
