Fantastic Car

I have had 12 corvettes over my 73 years ,starting with a used 61 . Have raced , shown and judged corvettes all these years. Had more fun with others , but then I was younger at that time. This car is beautifully balanced for style and performance. No issues with it and it constantly puts a smile on my face.

Simply the best sports car ever!

I love it! My first Corvette at age 70. I have wanted one since I was 16 and just recently could afford it. Wanted to make sure I got one before I got too old to get in and out. Just picked it up last Monday. Performance and styling are awesome. I was driving it home and noticed at 72, it was only turning 1500 RPMs and got 30 mpg. What a dream! I have a torch red coupe with a red and black interior. Only 11,000 miles.

Corvette - worst car I've ever owned

This was the first addition of the new body style of the Z06. I bought my car from another state and that dealership never put the car into the federal database which means the car never had a title! It was impassible to get one and therefore the car was worthless. While the car was fast it has many problems, because everything was electronic including the door handles there was a lot of problems. It has an electrical issues that caused the doors to not open, several times I was forced to climb through the back hatch to access the car. The doors would lock and unlock on their own, the radio and climate control would do all sorts of strange things like not turn on with the rest of the car. Finally it got to the point where the car simply would not hold a charge because of all the electrical issues and finally it wouldn't even recognize the key. It was the worst car I've ever owned!!!

Most fun vehicle "Ever"

Thank you Cars.com and the dealership in Iowa that had the Vette advertised through you. The car is everything plus more than advertised. I would use Cars.com again and again to find my next vehicles. WELL DONE!

Best one, yet

Dollar for dollar there isn't a better performance car available, anywhere. Looking forward to the introduction in a year or so of the C-7. I know Chevrolet will improve on the un-improveable so it will be even greater than the C-6.

Get the Z06!

I test drove several corvettes from the base model, grand sport, ZR1 and the Z06, as well as Camaros, Challengers, etc. There is a night and day performance difference between the faster vettes (Z06 & ZR1) and everything else, but yet no significant difference between the Z06 and ZR1 (at least not on the streets). We chose to go with the Z06 and love it. It's the best combination of performance and value!

Corvette bought used at Moritz

I bought a 99 with about 45,000 miles at Moritz (and would recommend them) almost 2 years ago, it is my first Corvette and highly doubt if it will be my last. Waiting to see the C7's. These cars once redesigned in 1997 are spectacular--amazing...Yopu have to drive one to understand. I get about 29-30 MPG on HWY. Bless you GM for this product!!
