  Fun car to drive, if the bugs die. - 1997 Chevrolet Corvette
  By hand77 - December 14 - 5:47 am

  Ill start by being fair, the mileage of my car was low, and I got an extremely good price from a friend. With that said, the car was awesome, most of the time. It was a blast to drive, got compliments everywhere I went (nassau blue color), and was just plain sexy to look at. But the rear end went bad, transmission needed replace, wiper motor never worked, driver side window motor went bad. Yes I did hot rod the car, but with it being a Corvette, you would thing it would hold up a tad better. To each their own, the car was a blast, but I wont own another C5 base car.

  Great driving fun! Good comfort in a sports car. Attention to detail is excellent. Truck space better than most passenger cars. Its hard on tires. Electronics need overall improvement and are expensive to repair. For the first model year of a completely redesigned car, it is Grandpas dream come true! I would buy another Corvette in a heartbeat!

  Good for the money - 1997 Chevrolet Corvette
  By BBs - March 4 - 2:00 am

  I have had many sports cars, Mustangs, Camaros, Firebirds etc... This Corvette is the best all around for the money. If you dont need the back seats then you get great looks, awesome power and crazy comments. And considering the rate of depreciation of all other american sports cars on the market the Corvette is the best bang for the buck.

  I love the car, but disappointed that I have had to have it towed on three occasions: (1) locked steering column, (2) Broken serpintine belt bracket, (3) Broken serpintine belt.

  One of the best cars I have ever driven for fun and performance. This car looks fast even when it is parked in the garage. The electronics are very complex in this car and I have had a problem with the heating and cooling controls.
