2010 Chevrolet Corvette consumer reviews

The Corvette Grand Sport is all that you would expect. Great looks and performance. The convertible is one of the only cars manufactured to b a roadster.

best bang and retail for your buck cant go wrong with a corvette hp and handling at it finest ,looks dependability and value the corvette does it all !!!

I got this expecting it to be fantastic, better than it looks at least. I went to a drag race and had my BUTT handed to me by a GEO METRO!!! This car has so much fracking wheel spin it is not even funny. It is ugly, uncomfortable, and cost way to much for what it was actually worth. I want a refund!

I took an inordinate amount of time researching this purchase, especially as it was my first Corvette. I decided on on the Grand Sport 3LT package and have been thrilled with the car and performance. One of the biggest surprises was the fuel mileage on the way home. A 3+ hour drive took less than a 1/2 tank of fuel and the ride was far softer than expected; considering the road damage and ongoing construction. Many comments on the exterior styling and the interior seems to have more room than the new Stingray. The exterior finish (black) responds well to cleaning and detailing and the 19 in. rears provide great stability and handling. The interior is a bit spartan, but really has more than meets the eye considering the "heads up" display and electronics. There also appears to be plenty of aftermarket tweaks that can help improve the performance, though it is plenty fast as it sits. I can't believe I waited this long to make the purchase but absolutely "0" buyer's remorse.

0-60 in 3.9 seconds, 1/4 mile in 12.2 seconds at 118 mph, AND 26 mpg? If you can find a better performance value, please contact me... I'll take two.

The car deal was one of the easiest I have ever completed. The ride home was one of the most enjoyable ever.

You have to know what you are buying when you get a sports car. You can not drive it in the winter, it only has 2 seats, it is a V8 so you won't average 30MPG, and if you are anything like me you won't park it in a mall or other busy parking lot for too long without worrying about dings from other's doors. That said, it drives like a dream, very comfortable on long road trips, stiff enough suspension to hold you in corners well, and a quiet exhaust note at cruise that livens up when you get on it. The interior, as many have noted, lacks some imagination. However, how many people buy a sports car or Corvette in particular for the luxurious interior? The only thing I have really noticed is the seats which are great for driving normally and on road trips are lacking side bolstering if you decide to go for a spirited drive in the mountains. Shifter is good, clutch is no heavier than my 07 Civic Si's was, and it gets good fuel economy for it's type of vehicle. In over 1 year of ownership (before adding a new exhaust and air filter to increase fuel economy) I was averaging about 22mpg around town and about 26-28mpg on the highway. As for reliability, I haven't had any problems since I got it over a year ago, just keep up with your regular maintenance. As for the performance, it is through the roof for the price of the car. It is a great deal of fun to drive, but I will say that if you want to drive spiritedly on more public roads in a safer manner, you should possibly look at a slower car, such as a Subaru BRZ or Mazda MX-5. The Corvette is so hugely capable that to really get near the limits you have to be going at very high speeds that are reached very fast, which if you are not a super competent driver could land you in a ditch. 1st gear will do 55 alone, 2nd will top 85, 3rd is over 120, and so on to 190mph. All said, I would recommend this car, it is a lot of fun, not terribly expensive, and won't break down. Great car.

If you want a car that can go fast and looks good, you have found the right one. If you want something to use as a daily driver *in comfort*, keep looking. I have had both a C5 and C6 Corvette and while they turned heads and were fun to drive, I never realized how bad the interior was until I switched to a luxury sports coupe (Audi S5). It has a similar price point as the vette and roughy the same horsepower but simply blows it away with the interior and extra integrated tech. Overall, I find that the Audi is a much better designed car than either of my vettes ever were. Chevy appears to be playing catchup with the upcoming C7 and hopefully they can deliver.

The ZR-1 has awesome performance and styling, but it has a hard ride and the 4 1/2 clearance of the front air spoiler makes it difficult to park without destroying the $2400 carbon fiber spoiler. Also the center console is not usable due to the heat generated by the exhaust pipes that run just under the tunnel box where GM failed to put any insulation. If you want a race car, buy a ZR-1, but it's not a good every day drive. The fuel burn is also very high due to the supercharger and the engine runs very hot. When the 2014 C7 comes out I will go back to a base convertible C7.

As easy to drive as a Honda Civic, 24 mpg, 430 hp, great shifter and clutch, and loads of trunk space. Nothing to complain about.
