  99 6-Speed Corvette Coupe - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By MSUC6Vette - October 15 - 2:00 am

  The car has been great, the ride quality is amazing for how well the car handles corners. The seats couldnt be more comfortable on both long and short trips. Plenty of cargo room for two people traveling. Better than 30mpg on the highway.

  Brains review - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Hitman - July 28 - 2:00 am

  What kid growing up here in the great US of A hasnt dreamed of owning a vette? Well my dream came true in May. I have never drove one and saw this low mileage beauty ( only had 2500 miles when I bought it ) when my wife saw it sitting at a local dealership. All I can say is that the ride and performance are way so much better than I had ever even thought. AND Im getting 21 mpg to boot ! Just can not say enough about how great this car is. Thank you to my wife, Kim, for helping to make this dream come true.

  Amazing Car for the Money!!! - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By PeteyPete - July 22 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my mint condition 99 hardtop last year and couldnt be any more happy. Its been a reliable and fun Sunday car that turns heads, and is a pleasure to drive. Im impressed w/ the mileage i get, averaging 20 mpg driving in a mix of city and highway driving. The interior couldve been a bit more refined, but the car makes up for it in performance and style.

  By space nurd - June 28 - 2:00 am

  Owning Italian and British performance cars in the 80s and 90s. I converted to my absolute favorite - the Corvette. My C5 roadster is MY BABY. I confess that it shares the garage with the old Maserati rag top I decided to keep - the Corvette is my favorite. Nothing like a top down drive on the California coast. (see favorite features and improvements)

  By mozvette - June 23 - 2:00 am

  Wow, what beauty and power, American muscle refined. Step on it and you know what I mean. Everyone looks at this baby. The best buy. I like Porsches and Bimmers in my rear view. Love it.

  1999 Hardtop Corvette - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By H.M.Hancock - April 7 - 2:00 am

  I have had a long history with Corvettes, 1st a 1979 White C-3, later followed by a 1992 Black C-4. I can honestly say that while the memories made in those two cars are indelible, my 1999 Black C-5 Hardtop is technologically far superior to itspredecessors. With a super stiff chassis, a 6-speed and a Borla exhaust, the C-5 Hardtop screams! And I must admit, I like when the heads turn and the fingers point in affirmation to what you know, that this is one great car!

  A True Sports Car - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By SleeStack - March 28 - 2:00 am

  Since this is the hardtop version, it comes equipped with the 6-speed manual and sport suspension. The ride is very stiff and you feel every bump but it also corners like it is on rails. This is a sports car and it drives like one. There really is no other vehicle in the world that can compare to the Corvette. There are only a handful of better handling or faster cars and all of them cost at least twice as much. I do not recommend the hardtop as a daily or city driver. I highly recommend it for use as a SPORTS car.

  A fun year around ride in style. - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By ob1 - January 21 - 2:00 am

  What more can be said other than it is a great car to drive on a daily basis. Very reliable with no repairs so far. Not bad for a car with almost 70,000 miles on it. Believe it or not but it is very capable even in snow. I drive it year around in sub-zero temperature and nasty weather. A pair of snow or all season tires help a lot. Try a set of Michelin tires (ZP) and you will get good traction year around and up to 50,000 miles on a set of front tires. Only one detractor,with the 6 spd. you will have to put a quart of oil in it every 1500- 2000 miles. Be sure to get one with the active handling, it may save your life. I am looking forward to getting the C6.

  Best Corvette Yet! - 1999 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Silver Bullet - January 6 - 2:00 am

  In 1964, I bought my first Corvette. Thirty-five years later, my wife and I bought a 1999 silver coupe. While the 1964 Sting Ray still holds a special place of all cars I have owned, there is absolutely no comparison with the C5. The C5 is the best Corvette yet! We love it and would not trade it for anything. The performance, technology, handling, quality and ride are outstanding. The interior design has many of the Sting Ray features, which is a nice (and fast) trip down memory lane. We have had no problems with it of any kind so far. Without question, we would make the same purchase again!
