  • The best car ever made in the US - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    The car is so much fun to drive, handles turns very well its like a stealth jet. This is my 5th vVtte and by far the best ever made. The biggest downfall is the mark up dealers put on these cars. Other than that the car is a ten. By far the best ever. 505 hp is enough for the averge Joe like me! If you can afford the car then is a must to have .

  • Best Corvette , {Ever} - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    My 2005 C6, is the 5th Corvette that Ive owned. It is also the best one I have owned. Design, workmanship, handling, power & overall driving is great. I was a little disturbed with the new body style, at first, {but}, after having it for a couple of weeks, you really see that its a great design, with all the sculptured front fender style, rear styling etc. I liked the C5, & was going to purchase a C5, but after studying the new C6, realized that it is a {MUCH} better car. The engineering of the it is the best ever. Im very happy with The C6 & give it a 10 rating. Chevy top engineers really did a fine job with it. Very nice Corvette, Especially for the money. Other sport type cars with its performance,{like the Ferrari}, & Porche, cost much more.& really dont perform that much greater, or as good. I highly recommend the C6, as Im very happy with mine.

  • Awesome Corvette - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    This is my 4th Corvette. The overall quality is impressive, the performance and handling is world class and awesome. We recently completed a trip from WA. State to AZ and back, 28+ MPG, cruise set at 90+. Very comfortable on the long trip. I read comments by others giving a negative to the interior and I disagree. They need to look at the other cars out there and compare, I drove the Porsches, MB and BMW. This care is at least comparable in quality and fit, but far exceeds them in performance and value.

  • Wow! 505hp Super car - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    I have owned fast cars, but this car is in the super fast class. What a fun car to drive everyday. Driving slow or fast this car will make you very happy. If you can find one.....Buy it!

  • Rons Z06 - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    My Velocity Yellow 2006 ZO6 is my 14th Corvette and is the best of the group by far. I owned a couple of ZR1s and 3 Z06s and there is no comparison to this beast. Chevy keeps improving the Vette with each generation and each model year. The car is as tame or as wild as you want it to be. It is great around town or on the road.

  • Best yet! - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    This is my fifth Corvette and is the best yet. With magnetic ride control, it corners perfectly flat and yet the ride is extremely smooth. Acceleration is almost frightening and yet Ive gotten 29 mpg on the open road. Interior quality, an issue in the 97, has been upgraded significantly. And theres something about the sound of the engine when starting the car that none of the older Corvettes had: it has a low growl that reaches a place in your soul.

  • My First Vette - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    I bought an 06 Coupe, blue/tan, 3LT, nav, magnetic suspension, dual roof, paddle shift. Ive put about 500 miles on it, and it is a fantastic car. A few minor faults - small rattle here & there, cowl shakes a little with the roof off, etc. No major problems at all. Nav system is terrific. Mag shocks are great. Paddle shift is a little tough - the Italians do a much better job at it. For the money, it is the best "super" car out there. Dont buy a Z06 - adds $20k, way too bouncy, noisy, & hot. Porsche? Ive owned them - a lot more money & only marginally better on build quality. Italians? Same thing. Save your money & get a Vette.

  • Two Months with a New Corvette - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    I should have made this purchase several years ago. The power is awesome, yet tractable, and the fit and finish is much better than most true sport cars. The transmission with the clutchless shifter is so quick that you need the headsup display before you run afoul of the law. Definitely an American value.

  • 06 Vette Convertible - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    This is a superb automobile. Very impressed with build quality and ride. Personally, I think the interior is excellent. Car is so fast it is almost scary! Handling is excellent. This is one sweet roadster!

  • A great sports car - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    This Corvette is by far the best sports car that I have ever owned. I have many things from a Porche to a Ferrari, but this tops them all. It has the perfect amount of manuvuability and performance to satisfy anyones needs. It is the ultimate sports car. I would recommend it to everyone.
