A terrific car, but not perfect: UPDATE 7

Now 25,500 miles into a Z51 in Long Beach Red: Still a tremendous value and sports car; a view from someone who long ago raced cars on the amateur level. It's not so much that acceleration, handling, braking, and feel are superb; it's that you feel attached to the car. The styling remains beautiful. The interior is very comfortable. Apple CarPlay works better with iOS 13.4.1: (1) Apple Maps has great UI but mediocre directions — at least Google Maps is now supported; (2) Apple Music plays better. In addition to the electronics, the other problem has been the shifting, which professional journalists complained about and I found true also. Over time, shifting has become much more fluid, although there is still an occasional glitch in the high gears. You can pack quite a lot under the hatch -- at least four suitcases. And, oh, if your state requires a front license plate, my experience has been this: The Chevrolet-supplied holder, even when mounted by a qualified Chevrolet technician, will scratch the front bumper and no Chevrolet dealer, out of the three that I have tried, will take responsibility for the problem. I now have removed the holder and will pay $900 to have the bumper repaired. This car now remains the last, great, American-made, front engine, rear drive, V-8. Hope my kids appreciate it years from now.

My Torch Red Corvette Z51 2015 Stingray s a beast. He rides like a space shuttle/jet but very smooth. Modern like a 1st class space ship.

This is the first automatic sports car I have owned, and I've owned many! For work I am always in an automatic van or truck, whose shifting is less then smooth. I was totally impressed by the 8- speed automatic, and honestly don't miss the manual one bit. It shifts faster then I ever could and let's me focus more on the drive. I Now understand why so many sports cars are ditching their manual option. So I agree with others and try both. Otherwise an exceptional ride and turns heads everywhere.

Love it so much I married it

I've owned both a 2015 and a 2016 model. Both have been exception in quality and pure pleasure to drive. No other car has excited me as much as the Corvette in many years. I would love to see them come out with a hard-top convertible- I think the lines with the rag top convertible are lacking when compared to the coupe- that said, with the top down the convertible is stunning. Will probably never happen- a hard top convertible would add substantial weight to the vehicle.
