I bought this for the wife and it's a great everyday driver. She gets better gas mileage than her SUV. It turns heads wherever you go and hauls the mail. I'm a pretty good driver, and I could never push this car to its limit. It's definitely not the most practical car a guy could buy, but it's a great third car. Although I like the semi-exclusivity of the car, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a high performance convertible.

Performance deal of a lifetime

I used to be a hot rodder back in the late 60's early 70's and thought those days would never return. How wrong I was. The American push-rod V8 is back big time only better. That's an understatement. This car has everything a preformance minded regular guy could hope for. The power & torque is incredible. The sound is old school. The handling is definitely state of the art. Driving this car is something I look forward to every day. I was suprised at the comfort level sitting in this car. I got the Z51 handling option & highly reccomend it. This car is glued to the road. It is the best Corvette yet. The ride is suprisingly comfortable for this type of vehicle. I can't wait for spring!!

I’ve always wanted a Corvette since I was 15 years old. My dream finally came true in May of 2019. I bought a 2005 base convertible 3LT. I absolutely love driving it. It puts me in another world and let’s me forget about all this craziness today. It’s a great value if you want a high performance American made sports car. For a 16 year old car it looks great. It now has 72k on it. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a true sports car. I would suggest if you want a C6, get a 2008-2013. They fixed a few bugs that the 2005 had. I haven’t had any issues with my car so far except I had to get a couple new parts for the convertible top so it would lock in place better. Go for it!
