Review

Safety and Security3 out of 5

There's no Euro NCAP score for the Corvette, as it hasn't been tested due to the low volume of sales in Europe.

In terms of active and passive safety features, there's ESP in the form of a dynamic stability control, ABS, electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), cornering brake control, emergency mechanical Brake Assist (MBA), traction control, four airbags (driver and passenger, plus front side 'bags), head restraints, seat belt pre-tensioners and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

To stop car thieves with an eye for a muscle car, there's a Thatcham Category 1 alarm, remote central locking and a locking fuel filler cap.
