bitter sweet - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
By delano - June 6 - 9:56 pmI have owned this car for a 1 1/2 years. Dont purchase one with a removable top if you want to stay dry. I have replaced all the seals. It still leaks, radio poor, steering wheel lockout disable as soon possible.

Why this? - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
By wtk - September 30 - 10:00 amThe car has only one cup holder that is too little and not deep enough. The windshield control is on a lever on the wrong side of steering wheel. The mufflers both rattle, like a model T ,and there is no fix for it. The right door rattles. Right window leaks in car wash. Most of time takes 2 trys to start it.

Dream Car! - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
By gxtol - July 14 - 9:33 pmId wanted a Corvette since I first became aware of cars at 13 (in 1966!). Finally got one at age 50. Bought mine new in Spiral Gray with every possible option. Other than replacing the battery in the first month as a preventative measure and fixing the gas tank (common problem) in the first year, this car has been "bullet-proof". I live in an area where there are multiple exotics, Porsches, Ferraris, etc and my car gets as much, if not more, attention. I love it. Fast, great looking and a virtual time machine making me feel 16 again.

Amazing machine - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
By Steven - November 7 - 6:25 amI recently purchased a silver 2004 Z06 with 25,900 miles. The car is stock. I am amazed by the performance value of this car. The engine is incredibly flexible. The sound of the motor at 6,000 RPMs is amazing, and the car pulls like a locomotive. I am also amazed at the relative comfort of the car - the seats are very comfortable (I am over 6 feet tall) and the ride quality, though firm, is wonderful. I am surprised at how docile the car is in adult driving mode - driven maturely around town, the car is eminently livable. For an enthisiast, this is a comfortable daily driver. I am amazed at the performance value with the Z06 as compared with other high-performance cars.

Still Tryin - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
By Vette Crazy - October 22 - 5:50 pmThis is my 4th Corvette (93, 99, 02, 04). I dont know why I keep trying. Ive loved Vettes since I was a kid and keep hoping someday Ill find one that doesnt have problems. This one has had problems with transmission (hard shifts), broken stabilizer links and brakes squealing for 2 years. Dealer said brake squeal is normal after their 4th attempt to fix. All 3 C5s were convertibles and all leaked around the windows when driving in the rain. All of my Vettes averaged about 3 visits to the dealer per year for repairs not counting normal maintenance, with each visit being at least 2 days. You would think I drive them hard, but Ive been told I drive like a little old granny. So thats not it.

Not Your fat, bald man driver - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
By Martha in Plantation - October 19 - 12:40 amI am a 5 ft 7 natural blonde. I know people expect to see a mid-life crisis male when they pass me. I love the Vette, but the ride is nothing like my Cadillac SUV. My boyfriend drives a BMW convertible, and people always think he owns the Corvette and I own the BMW. The noise level on the highway with the Vette is bad. I wouldnt think of a long trip in it. I just had too much disposable income when I bought it, either that or my mid-life crisis set in! I love the Corvette "wave" from other owners! Everyone should own one Vette in their life!

Corvette #5 for me - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
By HD Shive - October 1 - 12:34 amThe Corvette Z06 is a remarkable car. Its fast, beautiful, handles and stops like very few cars can. These cars are priced well and fairly inexpensive to own. Mine gets 30 MPG on the highway and routine maint. can be done by most owners/enthusiasts due to its simplicity.

Half way there - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
By marcus - June 12 - 1:21 pmSharp car in design, but not in comfort. Very noisy inside, interior materails do not hold up to use. Driver leather replaced twice. Tire wear abysmal, replaced all at 30k. Im not a hot rodder. This is my 8th Corvette. Great gas mileage. Year round driver, not too bad in snow.

4th vettes a charm - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
By Big Steff - January 10 - 6:28 pmThis is my 4th vette (2 C4s, 2nd C5). Almost bought 06 C6 without driving then found it was too tight (me 6"3). Sold 99 FRC to get this one. FRC was base model with Z51, 04 fully loaded!! Car is solid as a rock. Maybe get a C7 if more interior space (or I shrink). Best of the 4 Ive owned !!!
