It's a black convertible sports car
I love my Corvette. It's very stylish. It's fast and handles great! To top it off, It's a convertible so It's fun on nice days

Fast class for cruising on the open highways.
Corvette is beyond any car I have ever driven - moth ride, great performance and handling - great gas mileage and it gets up and goes when you ask it to respond. T is a targa so I can remove top - have had it up to 145 mph and it handles like it was going 50 - plenty of trunk space for 2 sets of golf clubs, suitcases and a couple cases of beer.

2003 Corvette convertible
I have had the car for over four years. I have never had a significant problem, other than replacing tires and brakes, battery and wipers. It's been very reliable, and extremely fun!

Corvette Pleasure Iconic design that is very enjoyable to drive.
It has been almost problem free except for the normal maintenance, changing fluids, tires, tune ups I have not had any other problems. It is a beautifully designed car, with 400 hp and magnetic traction control it handles great but it is very fast so you have to pay close attention at all times while driving. It gets almost 30 mpg highway which is great for a performance car. It is also very comfortable on long drives and has enough trunk space for two sets of golf clubs or luggage for two for a week vacation. People love the car and are always commenting on it, someone will always come up to you and talk about your car and ask questions. I think that for the caliber of the vehicle and the money it cost and the pleasure and joy that it has brought it has been one of the best purchases I have made. You just cannot wait to drive it, when you do you will always have a smile on your face, it is the most fun I have ever had driving a car.

Great performance and economy and looks.
Great performance car and great value. For an 8 cyl it gets great gas mileage. Very comfortable for tall people. No major issues just maintenance. For a 2003 still looks very nice and gets compliments all the time. Have painted it and redone the interior last year.

50th Anniversary Corvette
Older car Has a lot of mechanical problems I've kept it for nostalgia. The car is a 2 seater it does have it is a 50th anniversary so it is a collector's edition.
