Used 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Consumer Reviews
transmission is still a disapointment
after many updates by the dealer (mainly new types of transmission fluid) the transmission still behaves erratically at random times, its just not fixable. This unfixable issue plus the irritating ticking noise from the engine (sounds like an old truck with a leaky exhaust), make the car a never buy again proposition - the car has now 18K miles only (after 3 years)

2017 Grand Sport A Bust!
Shoppers be ware - I purchased my 2017 Grand Sport, Black Rose (color) in July 2017 with 15 miles on odometer from a reputable dealer in Michigan. I drove it back to Virginia, pleased as punch! On August 31st after 900 miles, my Grand Sport is in the shop with transmission problems. The vehicle suddenly would not shift gears when parked (park to reverse). Had to be put on a rollback and take to a local Chevy/GM dealer. So far they are telling me it is not the TCM, Looking at sensors now. . . It is Labor Day Weekend . .. really wanted to be out and about with my local vette club . .. sitting at home trying to find out how many other 2017s have had this issue and thinking to myself, I just wasted $70,000. Took me 22 years to save up and make this purchase. The degree of disappointment and disbelief is indescribable. Feedback and advice is most welcome.

Loving my Admiral blue Z06 7MT 2LZ
I have been fortunate to have owned quite a few amazing cars over the years (C5 corvette, 997.2 Carrera, GT500, ZL-1, and 991.1 Carrera), and this one is quite simply superb. The design, power, and handling are phenomenal. There is so little to find fault with! The acceleration is addictive. The carbon ceramic brakes are powerful and clean! The targa top is a welcomed feature, as is the front-parking camera. Chevrolet knocked it out of the park with the 2017 Z06.

Great Sports Car
Owned the car now for 2 years, it was purchased new. Only trip to the dealership was for the free oil changes. This has been a great car and can easily be your daily driver if you don't see a lot of snow or need seating for more than 2 people. The only real competition is the Porsche Cayman or Boxster. I found even though MSRP's are not that far apart real world pricing is. The Grand Sport's can be bought below MSRP where the Porsche's are alway's 20K more than MSRP. This is due to the high priced options found in the Porsche line up. I bought my Grand Sport for just over $60K could not find a Cayman under $80K. At the end of the day I felt the Porsche is a little better quality car but not worth the price tag especially when you factor in the maintenance. If you're into performance the Corvette will win you over when compared to the Cayman/Boxster. To match it in the Porsche line you will spend double the money and have to move up to a 911. Instead I bought a pick up truck for my neighbors to borrow and haul their stuff.

Heart Skipped a Beat. 1yr Better Beat Stronger
My slightly used 2017 C7 Grand Sport is Corvette number 3. My first was 1998 C5 Coupe, second is 2008 C6 Z06 427/505 Wil Cooksey Limited Edition #313. I never thought another Corvette could take my breath away until the delivery door opened and I saw for the first time my 2017 Watkins Glen Gray 3LT, C7 Grand Sport. It was absolute joy for this 72 yr. old BOOMER. Grandest of the Grand Sports and it's mine. One year ownership anniversary March 27, 2021. Enjoy it more every day. My easy escape during pandemic year! Great companion with our '08 Z06. Corvette obsessed for sure!
