1997 Chevrolet Corvette

My Favorite!

By Sportivo (CA) on Monday, April 29, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 139,000

Pros: "fun to drive, surprisingly practical, bulletproof"

Cons: "little cockpit storage, tronics costly to repair"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"This car is not only great looking (still), but it is a blast to drive. I use my C5 as a daily driver, and it never fails to put a smile on my face when I get behind the wheel. The engine is magnificent, with plenty of power (I can still "light" the tires, with 139000 miles on the clock), reliability, and surprisingly great gas mileage (25+ on the highway at 75mph!)The interior is comfortable, which makes taking long trips a breeze, especially when the trunk is large enough to easily fit what you need to pack."

My fourth Vette, best yet.

By CREWZN (CT) on Thursday, April 25, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 22,400

Pros: "fun to drive, great trunk for conv"

Cons: "not enough sun shine in CT"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"Being the last year of the C5 model I believe has all of the little issues worked out. Would love to have move into a C6 or C7 but can't justify the cost as this one is without issue and only used for summer months."

Quintessential American Sports car

By Vetitbe (VA) on Tuesday, April 16, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 41,000

Pros: "Best bang for the buck I have ever seen!!"

Cons: "None"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"Incredibly fun to drive, a huge head turning quotent, powerful, agile, beautiful to look at standing still or at 120 MPH on the track. The only minus (and a VERY small one) is that it can be a bit uncomfortable on a long trip (over two hours). BUT!! Come on! It's a Corvette!"
