Review

One of the best sports cars out there for your money these days. Looks and drives awsome. Very comfortable seats. Nice acceleration and design.

Favorite Features

BOSE, Leather seats, chrome rims, body design, climate control

Suggested Improvements

There are some cheap plastic parts that have broken off such as the passenger side seat controls. Also the change storage area has broken.

Lifetime Corvette Owner, C5 is BEST Yet

Review

Nothing but positives about the car, Except that Chevrolet would not cover the glass top when the lamanet began to peal off. Dealership (Bob McDorman, Columbus Ohio) not honest or upfront when it came to financing. I will buy else where in the future. Anyone know of a dealer one can trust?

Favorite Features

Fast car with excellent torque curve and high end performance. I love the style but would still love the see the Corvette INDY come to production with a mid-engine design.

Suggested Improvements

Upgrade cheap plastic looking parts & interior. Limit instrument cluster on drivers side to bare minimums such as speedometer and tach or place only on HUD, integrate secondary gauges in center Downsize steering wheel, Dead pedal too far forward.

Review

One of the best cars I have ever driven for fun and performance. This car looks fast even when it is parked in the garage. The electronics are very complex in this car and I have had a problem with the heating and cooling controls.

Favorite Features

High performance engine that gets good gas mileage. GM has done their homework on this one. Run flat tires are an added bonus.

Suggested Improvements

The interior needs a little work. The leather seats seem cheap for such an awesome car.
