Fast and great handling

We liked most everything about the car except the interior light switch had no label to let you know if it was on or off and because of the light slow dimming delay you could accidentally leave the lights on. Unfortunately our car had vinyl dash and door panel outgassing problems and GM was aware of this. If you parked the car in the garage for a week the interior turned white with a powder substance, dash and door panels. GM's answer was to clean the vinyl with Phelps Napa Soap. We did this and still after a week the powder came back. I offered GM $10,000 to trade me out of the car and their answer was they would take $2,000 off the sticker price of a new car. I sold the car and replaced it with a different brand. Very happy now.

Fun to drive

Just a eye popping color. The best looking color for a sports car. Fun to drive a stick shift again.

When Fast is not fast enough

This is a perfect one owner car that has only 14,138 miles on it. It is fast, beautiful, and with the miles is equal to a 1 or 2 year old car. I have a few cars so do not drive it everyday. Always garaged and maintained in every way. If you are looking for the perfect sport car priced right, this is the car for you. Why wait. You will never see a Hearst pulling a U Haul.

Fast but not reliable

My 2006 Corvette was a beautiful car. It was a base model, so it didn't have all the bells and whistles. Velocity yellow and chrome wheels made it a head turner. The car was fast. I mean really fast. It would do 0-60 in "now". About 2 years into ownership, recalls began to emerge. By 3 years, the car began to fly apart. 2 radiators, both driver and passenger window regulators, gas sensor in the tank, starter and a/c compressor were just some of the things I had to replace. It seemed that every time I walked past the car I had to throw money at it. I hated to sell it because it was my first and only sports car, but it just costed too much to keep. I miss the old girl.

Most reliable Corvette owned

Best Vette yet. I have owned 1960, 1962, 1967, 1989, 1999, and the 2006 has been the best for reliability.
