Red, hot, and sassy
This car is used enjoyably for daily driving to and from work--plus leisure. The C5 has, by far, the sleekest, sexiest, cleanest body style. This is our third Vette, and although there are newer models, we simply love the looks of this car. Have added heated seats, powerful sound system, blue LED interior lights for dash and all controls, and navigation system.
The editors are nuts!
I have had performance cars all my life. My previous car was a Mustang Cobra. The Corvette is simply amazing. Without spending $100,000 it is simply the best all around sports car available. The ride is exceptional, the fun-to-drive rating should be at least an 11 on a scale of 1-10. The only thing I agreed with on the editor's review is the wind noise is excessive.

2nd Vette Owned and Loving it More!
While growing up my dream car was always a Corvette. I purchased My 1st vette in 1998; a 1986 Convertible, and as much as I did enjoy "My Toy" It was time for my turn with a C5, I loved the newer sleek look and power, and I had an opportunity to purchase a 2000 at a beyond great price; and in practically mint condition,and get a great trade-in price for my 86' it was love at first drive! The 2000 coupe's look, feel, and handling, exceeded my expectations. The upgraded interior is luxurious, sporty and much more comfortable than the C4's. The power and handling is breathtaking. I was also amazed that I was getting incredible gas mileage with the LS1 motor. My favorite most reliable car yet!
Dream Come True
I love this car! Always wanted one, bought this one and it is a great car to drive. I have had some problems with it, mainly battery related, due to long winter storage. If you want a sports car, look no further, this is it! Great looks and performance, great mileage, when you factor in the performance. The seats are very comfortable too. And, I like the interior, many bash it, but I think it is great!
1st Vette and not the last
I now look forward to my commute. I had a 1995 Lexus LS400 which was a world class luxery car but the Vette simply blows it away in driving enjoyment. I will never buy a luxury car again. I will never buy another sports car except for another Vette. Pros: Acceleration, Grip, Good gas mileage (20 MPG plus) with a stick. Cons: Noisy and harsh ride which are expected. Riding a roller coaster at an amusement park is also noisy and harsh but makes up for it by going fast, taking curves and the sheer fun of it. If you have fun riding a roller coaster and like to get your heart pumping, then this is your car. I am over 55 and I feel like a teenager again. (i.e. ready to pick up girls)
Buy one and feel younger
Purchased a well maintained used glossy black 2000 Vette with 6 sp last year for $22K and I am having the time of my life. I am 55 but I feel like a teenager again. My previous cars were muscle cars and luxury cars and I will never go back. I knew the power was there but the grip is unbelievable. I have taken freeway exit curves at 50 mph where the speed limit was 25 mph. My muscle cars could not do that. I am averaging 20 MPG overall with the 6 speed while my brother's GTO and my son's Transam gets only 18 MPG with the same engine but with automatics. Noisy car but I will be installing sound insulation soon. My next car after this one will be a Vette.
MOST FUN YOU CAN HAVE ALONE
Of all the sports cars i have had the c5 vette is by far the best. comfortable ride and great looks . young and old knows that you are driving a vette. fun in the sun and all want to look at the vette
It's a Winner
Unlike the young guys writing reviews, I'm a grandma who has owned performance cars since 1964 starting with a gas guzzling 426 Plymouth. Three 5.0 liter Mustangs and an SLP performance package Camaro were among the cars I've had and, while all were enjoyable to drive, none came close to the performance and handling of the Vette. This is a dream car to drive with great bang for the buck . musta
Best Sports car ever for the money
Best car for the money. I love the looks, how its handles. Sport seats are a must. My favorite car so far.
Fun on a medium budget
Initially, I found my 2000 Vette fairly pricey, but as I am more informed it is obvious that owning one is actually reasonable. It gets great mileage, the insurance at least for an adult is cheap. It's reliable, and to my delight there is very little depreciation if you take care of them. The car is fun and has given a lot of pleasure.
At least once in your life treat yourself
This is my 3rd vette and the best,it just gets better,and better .People treat yourself at least once,the 2000 is unreal

cool runner
Great little car, fast, great handling, chicks dig it. Drove the '60s cars, 427 and L88s. The C5 is just as much fun. This one is on the block to be replaced with another. Wish I could keep both. '03 Z06 to be here in February.
great car with some flaws
I have to say this car is a very good deal for the money. The car is fun to drive and it is easy on gas when at highway speeds. The handling is world class. First and second gear acceleration is very good. This car will break the rubber loose when floored while rolling at speed. I have had problems with the gas guage that has yet to be fixed. The power window motor on the pass side has gone out 2x. Also, the remote has gone out 2x. The steering lock has malfunctioned after it was replaced on a recall. The transmission pops out of reverse often. I still love the car.
2000 Torch Red Hardtop Corvette
I bought it used with 34k miles. Since then, I've put another 2k miles on the car. It looks and runs like new. I've owned several sports cars and this is the best in performance. It is a world class sports car. It doesn't rattle, and everything works as it should. I had to replace the engine drive belt which squeaked. The seat rocks a bit, and the leather is worn at the bolsters. You can visit websites to see that these are common complaints. There is tire and exhaust roar (aftermarket exhaust), but I like the sound. The performance limits of the car is far beyond what most people can use.
Oil Consumer
About 1Qt. Per 1500 Miles and I know I'm not the only one! GM Pay Attention!!
1st Corvette
I LOVE this car! Excellent fuel economy...30 on a long trip with cruise on 70 to 75...22 in the city. Would like a better interior design, especially around the radio and HAV controls. I'm trading it in next week with great sorrow but am purchasing a 2003 Anniversary Edition Convertible 6 speed to help me get over my loss and sadness of parting with my 1st Vette!
2000 Corvette Coupe
The Corvette has been a great car. Acceleration is phenomenal! I have owned a 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS5, and the Corvette is quicker. Minor problems I have experienced include replacement of the steering wheel lock motor and replacement of the passenger side power window motor. There are many available aftermarket performance parts that are easy to install.
Excellent sports car!
Excellent sports car for the money. It has been the most fun sports car I have ever driven. I would recommend for all sports car enthusiasts. Although, not a family car, all will enjoy riding.
To much fun to drive, always smiling
This car has been nothing but fun. With a few modifications I get a regular 30MPG average highway and city. Best of all it's a V8 sports car. Handles great, lots of powe,r never have a problem merging onto any road. Just so much fun to drive I can't seem to stop.
no need for improvement
I have owned several vettes and even 4 other cars. This is by far the best. A true allaround sports car. That no weather can stop. Ireally dont know how they could improve it.
Overall Beauty
Had this car for 4 years and I love looking at it still. It's gorgeous, though it has had a few problems. Gas gauge, steering column lock, noisy tires. But overall it's a pleasure, especially after upgrading the intake and exhaust.
Love my C5
Second C5 I have owned. Fifth Corvette I have owned. Best so far. Fast and smooth.
2000 Corvette-3 yrs. later
I've owned the car for 3 yrs. Bought it new. Great way to travel. Fun to drive. Not without problems however. For example, electonic steering column lock failure stranded me in Palm Springs. Not a bad place to break down. Oil pump failure in the 2nd year required 5 trips to 2 different dealers before factory technician diagnosed. No engine damage due to momentary initial start-up failure only. Pain in the butt however.
Not so good....
Have had trouble and the local dealers here in Lake County Florida are real jerks. Have tried both... both rip you silly... Sorry, but I guess I had expectations... for 45k that were too high... I am replacing the car with a BMW 500 series

True american muscle
This vette is the first i've owned and I love it. It is an amazing vehicle. I strongly reccomend it.
Been a great chevy so far
Bought to be a traveling vehicle for us. Avg 30+ mpg on road run 70 to 75 mph. Rides better than previous models. Above avg seats. 12 CD Changer feels cheap. Interior feels cheap. Loud interior noise for the money. Fantastic drive, though and proving to be one of the most reliable chevys we've owned.

Unbelievable performance
My 2000 dark bowling Green Corvette is a showstopper I cannot tell you how many people stop to ask me what the color of my car is every time I go out and use it somebody compliments me that's just the looks the low sleek design is not matched for a 2000 sports car The car accelerates very well and stops just as good. I have over 200,000 mi it is a daily driver and I couldn't be happier.
CORVETTE FUN
I OWNED A C4 1984 FOR 8 YEARS. A FUN SPORTS CAR, BUT NO COMPARISON TO THE C5. TOP QUALITY AND GREATLY IMPROVED.CAN RUN WITH THE BEST.CAINT WAIT UNTIL THE C6S COME OUT IN 2005.
Corvettes are great
I think the C5 is a "perfect 10"
