  The Best Car I Have Ever Owned - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By JDS - May 20 - 2:22 pm

  Simply the best car I have ever owned. Great fun to drive and with itsoptionial stability control it is also very safe. With 345HP it is very fast but on the road at 70MPH it gets 32+MPG.

  Cheap Thrills - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Snake Herder - May 20 - 3:02 am

  Having driven a Shelby GT500 for 30 years, my standards are high. The C5 met them readily, and just keeps getting better. Average 24 MPG, highway of 30 MPG at 70 MPH. Im a big guy, and the car fits well. Active Handling is fabulous, the sound system is great, and it looks incredible. While the Z06 of a couple of years later is more powerful, I like the fastback look, and can mostly have a convertible when I want. Great car for the money - less than a Civic Hybrid, and the MPG is great for a 13.5 second quarter miler with a top speed north of 170.

  Recently bought first Vette after many years of wanting one. Car is an absolute pleasure to drive. Only regret is I didnt buy one sooner. Handles nicely.

  A nice car for the money - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Stephen - April 10 - 9:13 pm

  I purchased this car used from a friend with 6,000 miles on the clock. It looks great (torch red with 2000 chrome wheels, black gut and top).It runs well and people give me a lot of thumbs up on the road. The stock engine has plenty of ponies for the average person. Just a hoot to drive.

  2nd 1999 - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By IXLR8 - March 9 - 3:43 pm

  This is my second 1999. Only this one is a fixed-roof coupe. And this one has a 6 speed. You drive this car rather than point and shoot as with the auto. My 5th Corvette overall and absolutely the best. Its a rebuild and the tolerances are better than from the factory. 30mpg. No problems. Hard top is very tight. Much more stable in cornering. My German buddies would die for this car. Why? Price - I paid less than $20K. And great gas mileage.

  Cant Drive My Shelby Anymore - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Snake Charmer - March 6 - 12:26 pm

  Ive owned a Shelby GT500 for 30 years, but it finally got too valuable to drive. Enter the 1999 C5. Its a terrific, high smiles per dollar car. Faster than the old GT500, and nearly as quick, but with many more creature comforts. It wont replace the Shelby in my garage, but is a terrific daily- driver and is here to stay. I like the black on black, no frills approach. One of my friends said it looks more like a weapon than a luxo- cruiser. Im 65", and it fits well.

  Pleased Corvette Owner - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By 1999 Corvette - February 14 - 10:43 pm

  1999 Magnetic Red Metallic Convertible with Light Oak Interior/Top. Magnificent Machine. My plate says it all...YS I CAN... Color is so deep you feel as though you could dive into it. Looks like it needs a ticket just sitting still! Could not be happier with a great American Sport Car. Has every option available.

  Great sports car - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Bob - October 9 - 10:31 am

  This sports car is quite a lot fun. Great for almost all occasions. Recommend the convertible! Nothing like a top down cruise on a nice summer night. Loaded with features. Instrumentation has everything.

  Old reliable - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Corvette44 - September 21 - 8:07 pm

  Good solid car that is great to drive, always dependable and never stops putting a smile on my face. Highway mileage is outstanding. And Ive never had any trouble with the car. It was a great everyday drive till the kids came along, now its an even better weekender.

  My daily driver still makes me smile. - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Dean - March 27 - 2:38 am

  I had always wanted a Corvette, so when I could finally afford and justify one, I bought a loaded 1999 Coupe 6-speed Z-51 model. It has been my daily driver and I put on an average of 18,000 miles a year. I have never had any problems with the car except for a steering column lock problem that was corrected with a recall. I have had absolutely no repair or mechanical costs for the car outside of fuel and regular maintenance (oil changes, tires, air/fuel filter, battery replacement). This car has been an absolute breeze to take care of and has been extremely reliable. It is smooth as silk on the highway and is a blast to drive. I will always drive a Corvette.
