great car!i never ever expected it to be such a comfortable riding car. mine is a yellow convertible and it is a stunner. just a joy to drive because of acceleration,handling,comfort,and styling. grab a c-5 because the c-6 is a design disaster.

Well, this is my third corvette, first a C3 - 1980, next a C4 - 1992 and now this C5. It is incredible, the improvement over the C4 is staggering. The car is a monster and handles like a dream. I wanted a convertible, but I thought I wanted a C6 because of the higher HP. However, after driving both, I decided on the C5 (2004) because I thought the interior was much nicer and roomier. I really felt the C6 interior was "cheapened" compared to the C5. Some have complained about "noise" from the run- flats, but I don't experience that problem. All in all, dollar for dollar, this is an awesome car!

I love the ability to get on the expressway with no problem, as I travel it daily. It has a lot more room in the passenger area and the trunk space surprised me. I thought I would have a problem exiting and entering as I have back problems but it is very easy to enter and exit. Very much a fun car to drive and own.....LOVE IT!!

This is my 4th Corvette (93, 99, 02, 04). I don't know why I keep trying. I've loved Vettes since I was a kid and keep hoping someday I'll find one that doesn't have problems. This one has had problems with transmission (hard shifts), broken stabilizer links and brakes squealing for 2 years. Dealer said brake squeal is normal after their 4th attempt to fix. All 3 C5s were convertibles and all leaked around the windows when driving in the rain. All of my Vettes averaged about 3 visits to the dealer per year for repairs not counting normal maintenance, with each visit being at least 2 days. You would think I drive them hard, but I've been told I drive like a little old granny. So that's not it.

50th annaversary edition. 1280 miles and it's been in the shop five times. Relaced the ride control computer twice, left rear shock (part of ride control problem), air conditioner repairs twice and now the gas gage doesn't register past a half tank! What a piece.
