The real deal

2010 Chevrolet Corvette GS 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl 6M)

Took museum delivery of GS coupe which I would recommend. Driving back from Kentucky, I averaged 31 mpg while my wife said "it felt like a luxury car compared to my older vette". I now have it for 4 months and can say this car is impressive on all fronts. Acceleration is silly fast, cornering is flat and predictable while braking is spot-on. The interior is unbelievably roomy. the trunk space is similar to a town car. I find the seats comfortable and supportive. I like the interior too which is not as nice as a 911, but it's 20k less. Drove them both back to back thinking I was buying the 911 but the grand sport is a better car, period!

Fun at any speed

Had been wanting a Vette for years but was always concerned about quality. Test drove a Cayman but options took it over 70K. Recent reviews about GM getting serious about quality, the GS option and 0% drew me in. Great power, good clutch/trans relationship, clutch is not as heavy as I expected. The seats are as bad as all magazines state, brake dust is also an issue but the car is so much fun, it doesn't matter. I grin every time I start it. Chevy has done a very good job. quality is first rate, no rattles and not one problem. Decent sound system but not great. Just finished a road trip (1000 mi) great highway mileage. After many overseas performance cars, it feels good to buy American.

This car is everything you would expect from Corvette and a sports car. From the acceleration and handling to the sound of the engine. The fit and finish are very solid and have come a long way from other GM products of the past. This car truly challenges the imports of the same class in all aspects. The GS is really a great value for what you get compared to a lot of other sports cars. Even vs. the other Corvette sub-models, you could spend a lot more for the Z06 or ZR1, for what, maybe 0.3 and 0.6 in 0-60, maybe some handling advantages, but is that really worth the extra money? I would say no. Congratulations to GM and Chevrolet for creating such a wonderful machine.

This was my fifth Corvette and the most reliable, pleasureful, and easiest car to drive of all of them. Early Corvettes were fun to drive, but not nearly reliable enough to drive daily. This one is. I drove it to work every day, and even on long trips. I drove it to the east coast and back and on the trip out of the West Virginia mountains got 30 mpg. I didn't drive it in heavy snows, but an inch or two was cautious but doable. It has much better driver's vision that my wife's new LaCrosse. The only complaint I had was about camber wear on the front tires because of high speed highway driving and downforce, but new tires and a quarter degree positive camber tweak stopped that. This is a Corvette that anybody will enjoy to drive. I sold the 2010 Corvette to a very lucky buyer and purchased a new 2019 Grand Sport. The GS is fun to drive, but because it was built for the track, it is not nearly as enjoyable as the 2010. The 2010 is roomier inside, and doesn't have those terrible side rocker spoilers that gouge you in the back of the legs getting in and out. I miss the C6. The buyer of my 2010 contacted me and is elated with the car. The C6 has become very popular, and there are many to choose from. Corvette prices have exploded, so get yours quick.
