1996 Chevrolet Corvette consumer reviews

Mine is a forest green / tan top convertible with a manual tranny and LT4 engine. With 41 K on the clock and a boat load of oil change tickets in the console, I think it's got a lot of life left. Paid $20 K and have no regrets.

Just purchased a red on red coupe 1996 LT4 with Z51 package and only 19K miles. Everything is in exceptional condition from the outside paint and body panels to the immaculate interior. Only one issue with switching the climate control from defrost mode and it's most likely a vac line issue.

I have had my 1996 triple black convertible for 3 years now and it has been flawless. Starts perfectly, everything works and with only 38000 miles, still drives smooth. A true classic and will eventually be harder to find with low miles and perfect condition. Definitely recommend over the C3, even though I like the stingray body as much as the wedge.

Have owned two 1996 Corvettes over the years. The first 96 a bought back in 2000 was Red. The second one I purchased 3 years ago and it is white. Both of the are LT1. I absolutely love the 96 Corvette

It is what a sports car is supposed to be. The color perfect. A little hard for me to get in and out. (but, HEY I'm 84 years young).

It has been 20 years since I had to sell my 1961 Vette which I just loved. I settled on my 1996 Vette (convertible) because of it's affordability, even though I was never too keen on the body style. But it is definitely growing on me, I am liking the style more each day. The vehicle has many items which need to be fixed as time goes on (speedometer display, upholstery, and molding as examples) but the engine is a real performer, the car handles great, and I am beginning to love it!

Very stylish. A head turner. Best car I have ever owned. Reliable automobile. Great on the open road. Takes turns like a charm. Hate to sell it.

The 1996 GrandSport is a beautiful and timeless. The color combination of the Admiral Blue with the white stripe and red hash marks stands out and says I’m no ordinary C4. The saying in you don’t get in a C4 you wear it very tight cockpit.

I owned this very same LT4 Vette 20 years ago, was sorry I sold it back when... I would see it at corvette shows, and the owner was a meticulous enthusiast, even more than me! So condition/ maintenance were A+ We were able to strike a deal, as the resale on C4 corvettes are weak, and its the sports car steal/ bargain of the century! The 1996 LT4 are the pinnacle of the C4 ( aside from the ZR1 ,way more $$ and scary maintenance options/prices ) But, the 1996 LT4 is a one year car as far as computer/ engine and transmission packaging.... it's not a problem, it just requires a knowledgeable owner/ servicing. Entry and egress is the most challenging feature of the car, and at 6'2'' husky build, getting in and out is neither fun nor fast. Once inside , it is cozy, fairly comfortable... I've owned 2 C5 corvettes and 2 C6 corvettes, and they are far superior for entry/ egress and inside space. The 96 c4 with sport seats has a nicer interior than any C5- almost as nice as a C6 Lets not forget, these cars are 24 years old now!! The build quality has held up extremely well, the design is still very eye catching... and full coverage collector car insurance is $300.00 / yr. Ownership costs are extremely reasonable to say the least.

Great road car, but it has little storage space; hence the trunk rack. Drove it to Las Vegas with no problems and averaged 22 MPG. It's being replaced with a 2017 Grand Sport. I can't afford both.
