2005 Chevrolet Corvette

Pros: Sheer thrust, handling, improved driving position and shifter, tighter dimensions

Cons: Steering could be livelier, bland interior, road noise on some roads

The Bottom Line: The one to buy for the most performance at a reasonable price. Subjectively, however, a Honda S2000 or even Mazda RX-7 is more fun along a curvy road.

Review: Back when the C4 appeared in 1983 I really, really wanted one. And I couldn't even drive yet, at least not for a few more months. The initial reviews were glowing, further feeding my infatuation. Then, six months later, negative reviews appeared. ...

Pros: Looks, power, handling, price.

Cons: Smiling too much can cause wrinkles.

The Bottom Line: If you want a thrill in your ride, it's hard to go wrong with this immensely satisfying vehicle. This has to be the best Corvette ever produced.

Review: I received my new 2005 C6 Corvette coupe on 10/27/04....ordered sight unseen. I have never been a "Corvette guy" even though I have always loved driving sports cars. I've owned a BMW Z3 and Z4, Miatas, even a Datsun 2000 over the years, but only one ...

Pros: Power, torque, compliant Z51, better shifting, seats, noise isolation, luggage capacity, gas mileage.

Cons: No MP3 on CD with NAV, Bose sound system, skip shift, no rain gutter

The Bottom Line: Run, don't walk to your nearest Chevy dealer. The best Corvette ever.

Review: My last 4 cars have been a '98 Corvette C5, a 2000 BMW M5, a 2002 Lexus SC430, and finally full circle back to a 2005 C6. I really missed my C5 ever since I sold it, and when they started talking about the changes in store for the C6, I knew I had to ...

Pros: Power, Handling, Quality Fit and Finish

Cons: Can't wipe the smile off my face

Review: This 05 Corvette is the 4th one that I've owned. It's by far and away the best Corvette that I have owned. I've had my C6 now for a little over a month. The ownership experience has been incredible. The 05 Corvette handles like it's glued to the road and ...

Pros: Performance Handling looks Bose Sound 6 disk CD Changer that plays MP3 disk

Cons: Lamas Blue scratches very easy.

Review: I have had my C6 for three months, 7,000 miles, this is my fourth corvette, I have owned Mercedes, BMW, Roles Royce, etc. This is by far the most enjoyable car I have ever owned. I bought this car for the gas mileage since I have a 75 mile commute each ...

Pros: More horsepower . Better handling . Many refinements and technical advances .

Cons: Some do not like the headlights .

Review: The body of the new Corvette is sleek and fast . The aerodynamics are the best yet produced on an American car . ...

Pros: Good combination of power and comfort

Cons: Close ratio box should be available with magnetic ride

Review: Victory Red convertible with six speed stick and magnetic ride. Very powerful and smooth, many improvements over C-5. Comfortable ride even on 10 hour trips. Neck snapping acceleration and precise ...

Pros: Beautiful exterior styling and performance.

Cons: Cheap Chevette quality interior; Lots of electrical and mechanical process; Lousy sales/service support.

The Bottom Line: Be EXTREMELY careful when buying this car.

Review: I've had my 2005 C6 for just less than 2.5 yrs now. So far I've had 26 service calls and there are still a few of problems that I've given up on. The car has very squeaky brakes and although GM claims that this is normal I find it hard to accept. ...

Pros: Really fast - basically a V8 on a frame w/tires that glue it down

Cons: Typical of a GM car of the 80's. It's worse than my 1974 Vega was.

Review: Worst car I've ever owned - and I've even owned a 1974 Vega before!! I'm not sure how Chevrolet/GM can design the flagship of their entire fleet - and have it not able to start. They are also incapable of fixing it - after 3 years GM still doesn't know ...

Pros: Its a vette!

Cons: DBS,DBS,DBS,DBS,DBS,DBS! Cannot replace one tire, must replace all, very expensive!

Review: We have owned many vettes. The 2005 is the worst one! We wish we had waited and purchased the o6. The Dead Battery Syndrome (DBS) reared it's ugly head as soon as we took it home. We have replaced three batteries and it is sitting in the garge right ...
