Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Power under the hood, luxurious multiple adjustment seating, great looks
Cons: Removable glass top very poorly constructed, squeaky and noisy
The Bottom Line: Drives like a dream, comfortable seats, lots of bells and whistles. My gripe is the glass roof squeaks and creaks - cannot be fixed even after 3 trips to dealership.
The Corvette is a great driving experience. Be prepared to spend money on maintaining it, though. W ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks great, runs strong, handles like a slot car, good gas mileage.
Cons: Some attention to detail lacking in the interior.
The Bottom Line: I strongly recommend this vehicle to anyone like myself, who may have dreamed of owning a Corvette Convertible since childhood.
I got a 1999 Corvette Convertible for my 50th birthday, fully loaded with every factory option except chrome wheels, and it is the nicest car I have ever driven and/or owned. It gets great gas mileage (28 mpg on the highway, 22 around town), looks ... read more

Pros: Best looking car standing or on the road. Fast off the line. Great price for quality of car.

After 30 years and putting two kids through college, my husband came home with this little jewel. And believe me, I started jumping and dancing around and have not stopped since then. I have owned an Austin Healy 3000, a couple of BMW's and a hot ... read more

One sweet ride is the comment most frequently heard by those who stop to notice the car. Mine is a red hardtop with all the trimmings, HUD etc. The car REALLY moves. I have been in fast cars including 911's and twin turbo 300ZX's but this car is by far ... read more

I love this car. It drives smooth. It is comfortable.
It the best when you get in the seat and just start to drive. I think that every one should have a corvette. The car is very reliable. I hardly ever have to bring it to the shop. On a hot ... read more

In my opinion the Corvette is the best looking sports car on the road hands down. It looks different in shape and the front has always been intruiging. I like cars that look different then the competition. The performance of this auto is incredible. ... read more

Pros: Beautiful, Very Fast, Powerful
Cons: No Back Seat, Expensive
The C-5 Corvette is a one of kind. Sure, it's about $40,000, but that's money well spent. We've all heard the saying, "You get what you pay for." Well, in this case, that's an understatement.
I bought this car mostly because it has ... read more
