2007 Red Chevy Corvette Convertible

2007 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Convertible (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

Love this car! The 07 replaced my 04 which I did not like. The features, handling, automatic roof,and the horsepower are the most bang for the buck. This car has been a joy to own. I drive it to work daily. The victory red color turns heads every time. Never go anywhere that I don't hear "nice car" yelled from somewhere. The gas mileage is also impressive.

Favorite Features

The automatic roof turns heads every time, HUD, navigation system, no key, and victory red is the way to go.

Suggested Improvements

The HUD should display the gas like the 04 did. Different brakes, they squeal constantly, and the interior has a little too much plastic.

My 2007 C6 Rocks' Chevy's in the Game!

2007 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Hatchback (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

I've had a lot of different sport cars and roadsters which includes MG's to 1967 Firebird, 1972 Chevelle SS, 1967 Triump, BMW's Z-3, Z-4 and the 3 series which then led me back to machines that can perform like my Harley Davidson VRod with a few mods pushs over 120hp. Nothing even comes close to coming back to an American made quality product like the Corvette. You really need to start looking at what GM has produced its better quality than any foreign car that I've owned in the last 20 years. Chevy, you rock.

Favorite Features

Gas mileage, I get 23 in the city and 33 on the highway. Chevys has really out done themselves on desinging an excellent product. I have had it over a year and its been perfect car.

Suggested Improvements

They need a button to disconnect the first to forth gear jump function.

Rocky from the OC in California

2007 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Hatchback (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

I went from a 2001 ZO6 to a 2007 coupe. The coupe's ride is signifigantly smoother than the ZO6 and I recommend the coupe as a daily driver vs ZO6. The coupe is very powerful & styling can't be beat. I receive a lot of turned heads & waives from other Vette drivers. Gasoline mileage is good not great, lots of cargo space but interior fit & finish lacking. Has been in and out of the shop for warranty issues; cigarette lighter not working - glove box open/close latch keeps breaking - cheap plastic. Removable top, although light in weight for it's size, needs two people to safely taking on-off. As a previous owner of a ZO6 I'd opt for the coupe every time as ZO6 is designed for racing.

Favorite Features

The coupe Corvette is a performance vehicle combining great looks, technology, and high end performance. Head Up Display, improved interior over pervious model, cargo space, seating comfort and it is a one of a kind and extremely enjoyable to drive. Reliability average recommend extended warranty.

Suggested Improvements

Designers should combine chrome accents on the exterior. The interior uses too much plastic and it shows cheap. Fit and finish drastically improved over C5 but it does not compare to other performance vehicles in the market place - Porche-BMW- Lexus. More money should be expended on the interior.

Fantastic All American Sportscar

Vehicle

2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2dr Hatchback (7.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

I have owned this vehicle now for a year and have had nothing but a phenomenal experience. The car is quiet, handles superb and had the power to keep things interesting always. I ways amazed at getting 26.8 mpg on a trip back from Kentucky. Great to have an all American Sportscar available that can perform with the best of them. The storage in the back is great for road trips. No regrets on purchase of my first Corvette!

Favorite Features

Gas mileage. Incredible exhaust note. Quiet interior.

Suggested Improvements

Steering on the 2007 somewhat stiff at highway speeds. Corrected in 2008

Outstanding car, but not perfect.

2007 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Hatchback (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

This is my second Corvette. The first was a Yellow C5 Coupe. It was an awesome car and I loved every day I drove it. This White C6 is also a great car. I was so enamored with the extra 50hp that I didn't even notice how bad the "paddle shifters" were until I'd had it for a couple months. The six-speed auto is head and shoulders above the four-speed auto that was in my C5. But forget using the paddles. By the time it actually changes gears, the moment has passed and you forget you wanted to do something. I also preferred the C5s interior. I do love lots of the features of the C6 and in full-auto mode it's really quick. But I think I should have gotten the manual.

Favorite Features

400hp, exterior styling, lighter targa top, g-meter on heads-up, cup holder

Suggested Improvements

Junk or fix the paddle shifters. A real semi-auto gearbox would be cool. Cheaper price for glass top. I love it (had one on my C5), but they are pretty steep. Heads-up with lower option packages.

Great car to own

Written by: Roger on 02/14/2008

Vehicle

2007 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Hatchback (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

With out doubt, the best performance bang for the buck. Unbelievable fuel mileage from a 400 HP engine. Drove it up to Utah from So Cal, averaged 30.5 MPG over 1750 miles! No problems yet. Car is great as a daily driver, gets compliments were ever you take it. Also surprisingly easy to insure.

Favorite Features

Strong performance, Great brakes (Z-51 option) very comfortable seating, great Bose radio, Awesome styling.

Suggested Improvements

Power steering is a little to firm at speed. Noticed rear tires are wearing out surprisingly fast, car leaves black marks behind it all the time (probably a design flaw) Exhaust is a little to quiet-personal preferance only.

Vette

2007 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Convertible (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

I woke up one day and decided it was time to treat myself to a sports car. I went to the dealer and walked out with the Vette 1 hour later. This is by far the nicest car I ever drove. I was never a Vette person until I got behind the wheel and drove it.

Favorite Features

Automatic top, navigation, the drive to work, the compliments I get on a daily basis. I got the montery red color that everyone comments on.

Suggested Improvements

XM radio is not nearly as good as Sirius that I have on my other 2 cars

Best buy for a true sports car

Written by: Alan Rubin on 01/30/2008

Vehicle

2007 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Hatchback (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

It took a little time for me to get used to a car with this much power, but I really enjoy the car. The riding comfort is great. the car rides very smoothly, however it is a little noisy. However the car is not as hot rough riding as its predecessors. Interior design is not bad and there is enough storage room for most items. There are some minor things that could have been done a little differently, but they are very minor. The exterior of the car is beautiful, a true American sports car, we can all be proud of. Gas mileage is great, I get 22 in the city and 30+ on the hwy. So far, quality and reliability are very good. Only one problem which has been corrected.

Favorite Features

Targa roof, could not live without it. More than enough power for everyday driving. A great everyday car, unlike the Dodge Viper. Fun car to drive and great handling. I wish it was a little less noisy, but it is not bad. Car almost feels like a luxury sports car and a great buy for the money.

Suggested Improvements

A little less noisy. Could improve the center console with a nicer looking cover on the console. A little more support in the seats. I wish there was a switch to keep Fog lights on whenever the regular lights are on.

Bang for the buck

Written by: RoyS on 01/27/2008

Vehicle

2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2dr Hatchback (7.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

I had owned and enjoyed a 2003 Z06, but the 2007 is basically the same curb weight with 100 more hp. The car must be driven with respect for its capabilities. I do 2-3 HPDE events a year with it. The coupe design allows a lot of luggage space. On a road trip of nearly 2000 miles using the AC over half the time, the car got 27.5 mpg.

Favorite Features

Tremendous acceleration, non-invasive stability control, strong brakes, good handling. Power windows that raise and lower slightly for a good seal on opening and closing the doors.

Suggested Improvements

The weakest part of the car is probably its clutch. The prodigous torque can easily overpower it. The runflat tires will heat up and pressure up on a track.

2007 C6 Coupe

Written by: jc71251 on 01/26/2008

Vehicle

2007 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Hatchback (6.0L 8cyl 6M)

Review

I traded a 2004 350Z on this car. I also drove a Porsche Cayman S before purchasing. The Corvette has unmatched acceleration, but is not as "toss-able" in corners as the Z or Porsche. I am very please with the car and use it as my daily driver in all seasons except the winter.

Favorite Features

Acceleration

Suggested Improvements

Even with the magnetic ride controll the handling needs a little improvement. I understand that this has been taken care of in the 2008 model.
