2007 Chevrolet Corvette consumer reviews

Driving a Corvette should be an emotional experience, and the standard coupe and convertible deliver in spades. The 400-horspower LS2 V8 rumbles wonderfully, and the Vette intoxicates with its acceleration. With either the manual or automatic transmission, the coupe thrills. And the convertible is plain wonderful. Drop the top on a nice day, blare the stereo and you'll have what psychologists call a peak experience. It's a fantastic feeling and at those moments the Corvette more than justifies its price, which is a bargain compared to other truly capable high-performance sports cars. Yet probably the best thing about the 2007 Corvette is that you don't have to suspend right-brain rationality to enjoy it. Chevrolet has eliminated nearly all the cruder, less desirable traits that characterized Corvettes of yore, and its performance does not exact a painful toll on driver or passenger. The Corvette could be a reasonably comfortable daily driver in most locales, for at least three of the four seasons. Driven sanely, it can deliver pretty good mileage, too, up to 28 mpg highway by the EPA's formula, better than most SUVs

I love this car! I love all corvettes. I was a little hesitant about losing my pop up headlights but I've gotton use to the exposed headlamp styling. I bought my car with 11k on the odometer. When I first got the car, I had numerous problems with the battery going dead and the power top not working. I found out there is a learning curve to the C6 corvettes due to all the newer electronics. You need to realize that if you have a weak or dead battery, and the battery goes dead, your doors and trunk will not open as they are electrically operated. There are manual release latches on the floorboard to open the doors. The power top will also not work until you reset (re-index) it with the windows. (visit Corvette forum or Youtube) After realizing the idiosyncrasies of the battery failing, and installing a new battery, everything is as it should be. I've has no other problems other than the cheap lock on the glove box breaking. (common problem). I'm 6'2" 240lbs and the car fits me well. I enjoy driving it and looking forward to a C7 one day.

I would never have considered myself a Corvette man; however after seeing a pair going down the highway I was captured by the cars beauty. So now I'm a happy Corvette owner. Bought it used(40,000 miles) the previous owner took great car of this car! I once owned a 1993 Mustang GT Convertible with a 5-speed. I loved this car the torque was amazing. The Mustang is no comparison. The Vette is a beast! It pulls through rpm range with brute force. It'll do what you want it to do if your not intimidated. It is lighting fast rolled on the gas from 70 mph was above a hundred in a flash! Excellent brakes! (Z51). I don't like the exhaust tone and at $1400+ for upgrades it's way more expensive than the Mustang! You will not be disappointed if you purchase this car! Being 50yrs old helps in keeping the speed down, but boy it's like having that big stick when you need it. Another drawback is the constant challengers who want to see if it'll run, trust me it will, but you'll get the ticket! Gas mileage is shocking wonderful for a car that'll keep you pinned to the seat! Drove from N.C. to Maryland was over half way home decided to refuel at that point I still had half a tank and I was cruising @ 70-75mph all the way! Also I'm 6'1 225 and the ride is so comfortable rides better than my wife's Chrysler 300C! All I can say is buy, buy, buy. For me four stars only because of the factory exhaust.

have always liked the power I could get from a small block chevy. had a lot of Camero's, nova's, chevelle's, even some hot trucks, one I have now is 83 GMC with LT1 engine that is a sleeper. it is faster than the 2007 corvette I just bought, however I enjoy the vette so much, really has weight distributed well and with the correct tires it is a car you want to take long trips in. All my friends love the ride and the looks the car gets, what a pleasure to just enjoy the city driving when alone open it up to 130 for a distance, what a ride, what a fine auto that is America's supercar

I owned a 1986, a 1993, a 2004, and now the 2007, and each one has been substantially better than the one before. This car has way more power than any car I've ever owned, and in the 3 weeks I've owned it I can't find a single flaw. The two-tone red and black seats are gorgeous, and the white exterior color is perfect. Even though the car had only 16,500 miles on it, the dealer had installed a set of new run-flat tires and had detailed it to the point it was no different from driving a brand new zero--miles car off the lot. Since I don't particularly like the '14 model, and they probably won't redesign it now for another 10 years, this is the last one for me. Wouldn't mind driving it until that dreaded day when they take my license away!

Somerset automotive in Ft Myers FL, was GREAT! in finding my new used 07 Vette. Branden and the boys at Sommerset worked with me for about 3 weeks looking for the perfect Vette. they gave me top dollar for my 02 vette, and found me what i was looking for. no HI presser from these boys just down home take care of the customer. Best i have ever had to work with purchasing a car. I will be back in 3 yeas when its time for me to trade up again. you won't be sorry working with these guys they are GREAT! thank Branden and crew.

I have been dreaming of owning this car my entire life. And I am not disappointed. It is the exact color that I wanted with all the extras for a really great price. I can not recommend this car enough.

When I retired I started looking for my dream car. This is it the Barbie Dream Car. I have all the options offered. Convertible is the only style to choose in a Corvette. I love the power top. I have the white outside and the tan interior. The gas mileage is amazing I get over 30 miles per gal on the highway.I have the oil changed and keep up the maintenance. See ya on the highway.

This car drives and handles excellent-the acceleration is great ant the traction is very stable-also enjoy the exterior styling of the car. It has good gas mileage-28 mpg for the size of motor. Meets and exceeds all expectations at a good value.

I know this sounds corny but this is my dream car without a doubt. I have had an 82, 91, 92, 95, 96, 98, 99, and now my 2007. I didn't want to give up my flip up head lights at first until I drove this C-6. The handling and power alone convinced me this is where I needed to be. The bright red, chrome wheels, and the sleak lines of the body makes me feel like a lucky guy. No matter which Corvette you drive, you're never out of style. The only down fall is living in the Midwest and have to wait until spring to really enjoy it. After I sold my 99, I went for a few years without a Vette in my garage. For you people who wait and say "One of these days I will buy a Vette" need to take the plunge and don't look back. I know some like different styles of cars and all I can say is to drive your passion. I feel so alive behind the steering wheel of mine and can't stop smiling. So to the questions...Comfort is very nice..Performance...Wow...Ext. Styling...great...Int. design...awesome...Value for the money...speaks for itself...and lastly, reliability...still new but the carfax from the first owner was clean. In closing, I want to say one last thing. Get this car and you will be hooked on Corvettes. The deals this time of year are everywhere and the selection is great. Figure out what year and the money you want to spend first and then go looking. It took me three months but it was well worth it. Good luck and I'll see you on the road. : { )
