I could of bought anything in the mid $20,000 range as a seasonal summer sports car. Hands down my decision to buy a 2001 Corvette convertible was dead on. Fast, sexy, North American built, cant beat it. Man I love this car, thumbs up all the time. St Catharine's built LS1, fit and finish is tops, paint is excellent, 30 mpg. You kidding me this is one great car.
2nd only to my '67

I have truly enjoyed this second go round with Corvette's. My 2001 convertable is everything in a straight line that my 427 '67 was and this baby will really hang on the corners, unlike the '67. I don't care what anyone else thinks. This is the biggest bang you can get for the bucks anywhere. Buy one or steal a drive frome someone who has one, and if you don't agree, you never drove a big block '67.

I bought this car three months ago used of course with a ghost in the system that effected not only the turn signals but the heater-air as well. It turned out to be a the hazard switch and cost about $466 for the local dealer to install and flush the cooling system, so not to bad. I put Michlines on it and behold the beast has come to life. It is the base convertable with 6 speed manual and its Katey bar the door when I step on it. Only 350-350 but feels like more to me. the body and paint are GREAT except for the lower air dam in front as expected has found a curb but not too bad. So far I can't say enough about this car, it is the most fun I can have with my cloths on.
GREAT CAR

2001 Black Conv. 6 speed with Z51, 1SC, QF5, and U1S options. Pros: Great handling, acceleration and basic fun. Cons: Car burns oil at the rate of 1qt per every 2000 miles (dealer monitoring in place). Some cheap interior bits. Overall: Eye-turning, fun-to-drive excitment for a bargin basment price when compared to the competition.

Well what can I say. I'm 70 years old used to have a 69 corvette conv theres no equal to the 2001. Gobs of power and handling is tops in my opinion. Replaced one headlamp motor and a couple of relays and alls well. I just bought it from original owner with 20k mileage it well stay in my garage until I can't drive any more. And the 6sp is golden compared to the 1969 4sp. UPDATE: Well this is my second corvette. First was a 1969 conv. I've owned it since Dec 2021 bought from original owner 20k mileage.Just finished a 45oo mile road-trip AZ to WA state. It ran great no issues. It does not like rain or snow. The previous milege estimates are correct in 6th gear. Being from AZ it is a great fair weather car and keep it in garage. The only think weak are the electric headlamp motors replace gears with brass and you've solved the problem

The first two years I had the car it was nothing but problems.Check engine light coming on constantly.I tried to resolve my issue with GM but all they could offer me was oil changes,finally I contacted Better Business Bureau and within a week I was getting somewhere with the problems.This was a leased and I wanted a car that was dependable,being in the State of Nevada there is a lemon law three strikes and it's history or compromise.Finally GM settled with a five year or 60000 miles powertrain warranty.Thanks to Better Business Bureau.Will move on to European models it was fun but the aggravation it put me through wasn't worth buying another GM product.
Love my '01 Corvette !!!

The ownership experience has been wonderful. I have had her since 2004. There aren't too many negative things I can say about this car. There are MSANYpositives to mention though. She is like a member of the family at this point. Runs like a dream and overall is very comfortable and has GREATcargo storage room for a sports car.

I've had 6 cars in 2 years. Tried the 09 370z fun fast garbage. Then a bmw335itturbo engine went in a month, next a Porsche boxster pure sports car, I loved the hidden midengine power and triptronic shift took it in for service a leak was found and 16.000 for a new trans never happen, I've always loved the Corvette and the c-5 was just a really classy design so I found one tested her and bought it. I haven't had a Chevy since 88 I've stayed with Dodge and still have my durango great quality and service, Chevy hasn't changed a bit poor service they lie and here's an example, if your mechanic don't know what 275/45/18 is and you ask the service manager the same and the answer is worse, that says it all. Run!
Great Car....poor service at dealership

Great Car. Only a few minor problems during the last three years. Oil changes and new tires have been the only out of pocket costs to date. Dealer Service very poor....I will never buy a Chevrolet again because of the lack of quality control whenever I took the car in to the dealer. It never improved even after multiple complaints. Everytime I took it to the dealer for an oil change I asked to have the emergency brake adjusted and not once did they accomplish that task. Too bad because it is a great car, now that the warrenty has expired, I will try to find a real mechanic or do it myself.

Have had this car for almost 5 years repairs have been minimal almost always is something that wore out . handling of this car is GREAT acceleration is GREAT I am wanting to replace Stereo and Bose speakers with something bluetooth but as for as changing anything else no that will not happen. If you have a chance to own one of these magnificent machines do it. I plan on leaving it to my son and would like him to pass it along so my grandson/granddaughter can drive same car I drove. This is an amazing car

Most fun I ever had with a new car. Comfortable while appealing to my visceral senses. All in a package which can be serviced by any GM dealership and covered by optional GM extended warranty which can be purchased up to three years after initial put in service date.
Great car for the money!

This is my second C5, a 2001 roadster.. I've had it for almost three years now and it consistently makes me smile. The performance, looks, and ride are all worth the price of ownership. I have made "corrections" such as intake, full-length headers and exhaust and the car has rewarded me with improved performance. On two trips from Florida to Bowling Green Kentucky, my vette averaged better than 27MPG!

Bought the green roadster in Austin, Tx. Got on I35 north bound and knew why I live in MT. Great trip North. Set the auto pilot on 80, put Jimmy Buffet CD's in the player and enjoy. What a great ride. A few weeks ago I was driving in the mountains of MT, a yellow C5 came up behind, I let it pass and then stayed about 75' behind, we were coming down a mountain pass, 4 lanes so we could stay toghether. Kids in the cars we passed were glued to the windows. Future Vette owners.
GREAT CAR
