It is a great car and was definitely worth the cost. It was a fun purchase and I would definitely do it again!
I love my car! It is sporty, fast, and gets surprisingly good gas mileage. It is yellow so it is kind of a show stopper. No complaints!

Corvette drivers have a camaraderie with other Corvette drivers.
I like the small sports car and I like to drive it. I have no complaints about the car. It has served me very well for these 12 years.

It gets good gas mileage. People think the gas mileage is not good but it is.
I like the horsepower. I like the handling. I like the styling. I don't like the recalls I got. After fixing 1 recalled problem it caused another problem that the dealer would not fix.

Great Car for Road Trips
This car gets 30 MPG at 75 mph, effortless power, a smooth ride, and is very comfortable on long trips or local driving. The rear hatch holds golf clubs and travel bags no problem.
