Chevrolet Corvette (2005-) Review

Category: Exotic Sports 4 out of 5

Summary of the Chevrolet Corvette (2005-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Performance from roaring V8. Handles pretty well too. Should be well equipped and good value

Drawbacks

Doesn't feel as well built as a 911. Left-hand-drive only. Manual gearbox industrial, auto 'box poor. Interior quality not up to European standards.

Verdict

A proper sports car with a lot of character. Practical enough for daily use.

Review

Used Value3 out of 5

No, it's not going to hold its value as well as a 911 - expect high initial depreciation. However, this does level off after a while, as the Corvette does have its fans, and it has a certain rarity value. Best viewed as a long-term purchase, though.
