Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Ultrahigh performance, daily-driver livability, bargain sticker price.
Cons
- Some low-grade interior trim, can't get the Z06 as a coupe or convertible.
What’s new
Most notable for 2003 is the 50th Anniversary package available on coupe and convertible models. The commemorative package includes Anniversary red exterior paint, a unique shale interior color, champagne-colored wheels and "50th Anniversary" exterior badging with matching embroidery on the headrests and floor mats. Also included in the Anniversary package (or as a stand-alone option on coupes and convertibles) is an all-new Magnetic Ride Control system that provides instantaneous shock adjustment for optimum ride quality and handling. All models also get additional standard equipment that includes sport seats, a power passenger seat, foglamps, dual-zone auto climate control and a parcel net and luggage shade on coupe models.
Edmunds says
We expected a little more for a 50th anniversary model, but considering how good the Corvette is anyway, we can forgive the paint and badges job -- barely.

2003 Corvette Convertible
Gary M Ciborowski, 06/25/2008
2003 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Convertible (5.7L 8cyl 4A)
Car is surprisingly comfortable to drive having come a long way from the Corvettes of the 70s and 80s. Fit and finish on my car, purchased used, is superb. Panel spacing is uniform from fender to hood to door. Doors close with solid definition. Manual top folds easily and is easy to operate without assistance. So far, rattle free. The leather seats fit me very well: the seat is just the … right length and width. The seatback supports the entire length of my back with no hard spots. Power adjustments include lumbar support and this 50th Anniversary Edition has the memory option, so once you set the seat, wheel and radio preferences, they all return once you start the car.

50th Anniversary Vet
CherryO, 09/30/2007
2003 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Coupe (5.7L 8cyl 4A)
Fabulous sports car. Seldom a day goes by without someone stopping me to comment on it. However there are days I would like to just get in my car and run to the convenience store without make-up or my hair done. This car draws so much attention that you can't do that.. This is not my weekend car. I drive it to work daily. People I have never met before say "How's the vet"? It's so fast, … roomy and the heads up display is nice. The warning lights for tire pressure, fuel and low washer fluid are a definite plus. We test drove nearly every sports car on the market, including Mercedes. My husband is very "healthy". The 2003 Vet is the only car that my husband could sit in comfortably.

my first 'vette
BluByYou, 03/23/2004
2003 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2dr Coupe (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
I am extremely fortunate in that my
first Corvette was a new Z06. The car
has met and exceeded ALL my
expectations in overall performance and
driving enjoyment, but you must be
prepared to drive, and pay attention to
your driving at all times. This is not
a vehicle to drive while talking on the
cell phone, putting makeup on, or,
heaven forbid, reading while cruising …
in the right lane. Buy this car if you
love to drive.

50th Anniversary Corvette
Bob Hatfield, 10/28/2005
2003 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Coupe (5.7L 8cyl 4A)
Impeccable performance and sterling appearance. The anniversary red paint projects a dazzling sparkle when in the sunlight and nicely augmented by the champaigne coloured wheels.
