  • Disappointed - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    My wife and I finally were able to buy that corvette we always wanted.....what a mistake....I should have bought a 60s model if I knew it would constantly have to be worked on. The biggest problem to date are the window seals; they keep falling off. Its an ok car, but for nearly 50K I guess I expected more quality and performance. My 55 Chevy with a backyard 327 can smoke it, and it cost a whole lot less!

    Our 4th Vette, am totally in love with it. Have only had it for a month and would not give it up for the world.

    This is too much car for one guy to handle;-} It just jumps from the line and is so powerful! I cant believe how it handles. I swear it bends in the middle! My only complaint about it is that here in PA we have a lot of concrete highways and the suspension is stiff and you can take a beating from the bump-bump-bump of the concrete squares. Also, it is a bit noisy. But that was in the reviews that I saw b4 I bought it.

    What a disappointment. Its like driving grannies Sunday to church wagon. Sounds like a diesel at idle. My 85 and 91 will run circles around it. I think most buyers rave about it because they are too embarrased to admit that the new Corvette is a mere shadow of its former self. We have been brainwashed by the tight squishy plastic Japanese cars. Give me the Corvette roar and rattles. Its like moving from a Harley to a Honda. Im depressed.

    A real screamer. Loud as hell. Lots of engine note and road noise. Take the good with the bad, I guess. Chevy dealers (service depts) need to get used to dealing with people who paid 50K+ for a car and are used to BMW/Mercedes standards of service. Treating service customers like crap wont do.

  • Love My Z06 commerative Edition - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette

    Every Time I wonder why I threw down 45K for a Go Fast, all I have to do is sit down and step on the gas. This thing gets your attention real fast. It spins the tires so fast it doesnt even leave a black mark, it just looks like you scoured the pavement clean. I Love It!!!

    I have enjoyed owning and driving this vehicle. The performance and handeling is surperb for a vehicle in this price range. I will be buying another one within the next 2 years.

  • C5 Heaven - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    Its incredible the transformation that takes place when you sit behind the wheel and start the engine. What a rush! The price cant be beat when compared to comparable higher priced sports cars. The ease of storage for the removable roof panel makes open air driving a snap! My previous Corvette was a 62. Chevrolet has come a long way and has reached near perfection in the final year of the C5 generation.

  • Most fun for less than $50k you can buy! - 2004 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    I cant imagine a more fun to drive car than this one - at least not for under $75,000 or so. Build quality could be better, but then it would probably cost a lot more. As it is, the car is still a solid car with only a few reliability problems. You are basically buying a street legal race car, that still gets surprisingly decent mileage (I get about 18 with MIXED driving, but only about 14 city.) The car LOOKS GREAT, ACCELERATES BETTER and HANDLES even better. It needs a better stereo and better build quality and it is perfect. One other note, the stock tires are horrible in the rain. Put some Michelin Pilot Sports on and the problem is fixed!
