Positive Review

"A powerful car with everyday driving convenience"

A great car. Fun to drive. Fits two sets of golf clubs in the trunk. Great gas mileage for a car with 400 hp. This is my third corvette and by far my favorite. I now have 70,000 miles on the car and have had no mechanical issues. Take it in for an oil change twice a year and it doesnt need much else other than a battery every year. I will take that small yearly cost in place of the hassle of repairs on a lesser vehicle.

Critical Review

"Extremely disappointed for the price of the car"

I have taken excellent care of my car. In return Chevrolet has given me a car that at 7 years old is requiring major and expensive repairs - the fuel tank has sprung a leak, driver shaft has gone out twice (1st time at 28,000 miles, second at 39,000), rear gear had to be worked on twice, visors replaced three times, head-up display cracked. Fuel tank repair cost estimated at $3,000!

Too much fun
Pros

Plenty of performance parts out there. Great handling and power. Great looking. Comfortable.

Cons

GM quality.

We purchased our 06 base convertible fall of 2023. It had an engine issue that we knew about. My son and I pulled the engine and rebuilt it. We have both been driving this car all over. Power is great. Handling is awesome. And, you know the Chevy engineers know who is going to buy these cars new; Old, fat, men. So, they have to make it pretty comfortable. And, they did. Except, it is hard to get in and out of when you an old, fat man(i’m one). Once you’re in you don’t want to get out. No problem, keep driving. Tons of room. Good on long trips. Decent MPG. I cannot think of a single thing that I would change. You want more power? Part are all over the place. Or, buy one of the higher performance models, Z06, ZR1. My previous favorite car I have ever owned was a 2004 BMW 330ci. The Corvette has taken its place.

2008 Corvette Z06
Pros

THE BEST CORVETTE SINCE 1967

Cons

NONE!

This car can deliver the mail on time. Super fast, nimble, and buy the Jetstream Blue 3LZ with the linen interior. I’ve gotten more compliments on its looks, sound, and stance. The mighty 427 7.0 liter is back from 1967. Instant collectable!!!! Don’t get caught napping on this one. YOU WILL LOVE IT💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

The Corvette Z06 is such an amazing performing car. Super car level for its time. I love the look and design. It’s also highly upgradable and maintenance is reasonable. I sold a Porsche Turbo for this car. Love it

A Refined American Sports Car

I've owned this 2009 C6 auto trans Vette about 2.5 years now. I have only approx 25,000miles on it and drive it on weekends and short day trips. WONDERFUL sports car if you only want to carry one passenger along with some groceries in the rear; Hey, it's a Corvette! The 6.2 liter L3 engine is powerful, and the 6 speed auto trans with paddle shifters works well. Great choice for someone looking to get a USA made V8 sports car, and doesn't want it breaking down all the time.
