2006 Chevrolet Corvette

Pros: Spine-tingling V8 thrust, sharp and sticky handling, surprisingly roomy cabin, bargain price.

Cons: Too big to feel nimble. The dull steering and fragile-feeling fiberglass body don't help.

The Bottom Line: Fast, rowdy, yet remarkably user-friendly, this car is the very definition of "bang for the buck"... even if it commands more bucks than most of us can afford.

Review: My Experience It's actually been quite some time since I first drove Chevy's new C6 Corvette--last January, I took one for several laps around a small handling course at GM's "Auto Show in Motion." But my seat time at that event was brief, and ...

Pros: Performance, looks, ride quality, heads up display

Cons: Poor Steering Wheel, noisy tires, mediocre and distracting radio/nav system

The Bottom Line: Buy it. Absolutely one of the best combinations of sport/comfort ever.

Review: A quick take on my 2006 Corvette convertible that I have now had for approximately two weeks and just under 1000 miles--400 of which were a trip from Sacramento to Los Angeles. The car lives up to the rave reviews. I have owned two prior model ...

Pros: Both are fast and hot!

Cons: Mustang beats Vette in price; Vette may look and feel better!

The Bottom Line: GT500 is the best bang for the buck; the Z06 Corvette best in overall comfort and design. You must decide which one of these cars “Lights your fire.”

Review: Corvette Z06 versus Mustang GT500: 500+ Horsepower So, your nest egg is sitting pretty and you’ve got the sports car itch? Like many Americans we turn first to Detroit to wet our appetite. Though the past ten years have been decidedly dull out of ...

Pros: Performance, nice interior features, loads of luggage space, and economy gas mileage.

Cons: No faults with this automobile. It is the best Vette yet.

Review: Purchased a new 2006 Corvette for a once in a lifetime trip down Route 66 and other roads West. Covered 10,000 miles at normal and high speeds (120) and still managed to average over 24 mpg. One stretch of driving yielded 31 mpg and an average speed of ...

Pros: 510 hp, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds,1/4 mile 11.25 seconds, top speed 217 mph.

Cons: smokes tires at 70 mph in 1st gear

Review: 510 hp, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds,1/4 mile 11.25 seconds, top speed 217 mph. All I have to say is watch out Italy because here comes America. Don't waste your money on a high priced Ferrari. Get an American made super-car. The new z06 corvette. The corvette is ...

Pros: VALUE, POWER, MILEAGE, HANDLING, GREAT LOOKS ..and, did I SAY POWER?

Cons: somewhat noisy at speed, nav system could be easier to use

Review: Superb LOOKS, zero to 60 time of 4.2 seconds, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, heads-up display, magneto-rheologic shocks for fine dial-in handling. My combined mileage is 24 mpg from a 400hp eight cylinder engine... what engineering! Sure ...

Pros: Affordable, great driving

Cons: Bigger than the rest of the corvettes.

Review: This is everything you want from a corvette. Its hair-raising acceleration and tremendous turning ability lead to the fact that this Corvette is the most valuable from the entire Corvette family. With its powerful V8 engine the 2006 Corvette is on the ...

Pros: Strong performance. Fit and finish. Super looks.

Cons: Rediculous amount of road noise for a luxury sports car.

Review: I bought a 2006 corvette new and now have 8000 miles on it. Starting around 5000 miles, i swear it became quicker versus before. Anyway, it is an exciting car to own and drive. This is my 3rd Corvette . The technology is incredible for this car. It is a ...

Pros: v8, price, handling, looks

Cons: Interior could be better, ashtray not staying up

Review: After waiting for what has seemed to be a lifetime I finally got a vette. And it has been worth the wait. The car is exactly what it says it is. Exterior flawless - looks great, interior - could be better, but not as bad as older vettes. Nice V8 ...
