2001 Chevrolet Corvette consumer reviews

I recently bought a 2001 C5 base automatic with 59,000 miles on it. I absolutely love this car. I’ve been using it as my daily and have put about 2,000 miles on it in about 5 months and it’s been nothing but great. Mine does have the Z51 package so it’s a little stiff and bumpy but with a sports car that what you expect. The only problems I’ve had are sometimes one of the pop up lights doesn’t go up but the good thing is there’s a hand crank for when that happens so you can put them up and the radio in mine had an issue where the lights on it would stay on and drain the battery but it is a 23 year old car so a few small electrical issues don’t surprise me. Besides that it’s been a great car so far and for anyone looking for a good, reliable, great looking sports car I don’t think there’s a better one out there especially for the money, it’s also plenty fast, I’ve recorded a 4.4 second 0-60 in mine on a non prepped road and all the mods mine has is a straight pipe muffler delete with no tips and pipes and a cold air intake so it’s pretty much stock. Overall I absolutely love this car and I hope to keep it for a long time (or until I get a C7 corvette) but I’d definitely recommend it if you can find a decent one for the money!

outstanding. responsive, beautiful, classic, on straights or switchbacks, rides like 1966. sounds, looks, feels absolutely great. after a year of driving it, i bought a 2019 stingray to keep it company in the indoor parking spaces. i love it, and them. rock n roll........

Great car, Great price and BEAUTIFUL. Going on 70+ but this is the car I always wanted for myself. It is Black on Black and beautiful inside and out. It was Garage kept and that is where is right now with me. I love driving it on weekend and feel so wonderful going down the highway with the top down. If ever anyone get the chance look up 2001 Vette and you will love it just like me.

I bought the 01 Corvette in 2014 it had 81,000 miles and in 2022 it has 119,000 mills the cars interior materials are cheaply made it has to much electronic garage on it like service traction control service abs service active handling to many sensors unlike my past Vettes in 84 I had a 79 L82 the ride was rough and in 05 I had a 91 L98. The 01 gets great mpg on the highway 28 mpg good power the 6 speed is fun to drive and the ride is good

21 years old with 100,000 miles and it still snaps your neck when you punch it. With the top down it is a joy to drive in the summer. Everything still works , even the cd player . With Z51 package and performance axle it is still competitive today. So many cars go by and rev their engines at you in challenge . Had a leaky rear axle seal and a noisy catalytic converter . Otherwise just normal maintenance. Great value.

I have had my 2001 Base automatic since 2013, it’s now February 2021, no real problems to report. It had 34K on the clock when I bought it and now about 69K. I did change out the flasher/turn signal module which, as we all now know, was trash from the factory. I also upgraded all the lights inside and out to LED so I could actually drive it after dark! Other than that it’s bone stock. This vehicle runs like a scalded dog, gets 30+ mpg on the highway, and has never let me down or abandon on the side of the road. I have thought of getting a newer model, then, I bet behind the wheel of my 01 and forgedaboudit, I’m in love!

I have owned over 15 corvettes upto a 2008 c6. The 2001 c5 is about the vest overall I have owned. Handling, looks, performance, trunk space, comfort etc. love my 2001 convertible

I'm a 67 year old man with an FIA Competition License. I learned to drive at age six and was racing FKE carts at age 10, the beginning of a wonderful career. I've owned some of the most important perfomance cars in the world and my 2001 ZO6 is my finest car ever. As my coach at Skip Barber told me "Don't let the license plate fool you, it's not a street car...it's a race car with a really nice interior"! Amen to that, this car is more competent than many purpose-built cars I've driven. Amazing in every respect, and so beautiful it's like God created it to be his daily driver. Should you be so fortunate to find an owner willing to part with this car, buy it! You'll be glad you did...

This car is great on the highway. Step on it and your climbing above 100 in no time. Handling can be better but very comfortable to drive. Has a solid feel and very good reliability.

I always hear people complain about the cheap feel of the interior. So GM used the same hvac control as another car. GM put the money EXACTLY where it was needed. Every day that I drive this car, it brings sheer joy to my heart. It's graceful, agile, crazy fast, reliable, fuel efficient, predictable and just an absolute blast.
