I am new to Corvettes.

For those who have been around awhile, why would Corvette be in the "least reliable" category?

Most the cars in most reliable area do not have enough power to break anything

The part where it says sport/sporty cars. There are some decent cars in there to take your daughter to see a play ,but if you don't mind being pressed into the seatback and enjoying some performance then this compilation of vehicles is pretty much You need to think about the performance value any time you state SPORTS CAR vs sporty car. That said hang around for a while and enjoy all the threads and pic's of SPORTS CARS.

As in every survey, you need to take into consideration based on what this list was made.
What are the conditions? What is the sample? where do they get the figures?
I cannot tell you specifically how the Vette ranks, but something must be very wrong in any survey that lists the Mini as more reliable car.
If any, it will be more reliable to make you live in a dealer shop.

You might want to post this is c6 general. This has NOTHING to do with the C5 generation.

Yes, I agree, there is a difference in Sports Car and Sporty Car.

Matt Evans

Yeah, I had a tough time deciding between a Solara and my C5

Because the left-wing, liberal free-traders at CNN Money are all about globalization. That's why ! Don't you watch the slanted news coverage this "international news organization" feeds you and many others ?

I have a 2000 FRC and I can honestly say that this is absolutely the best running and certainly the best performing vehicle I've ever owned !

Consumer Reports isn't much better when evaluating Chevrolet's Corvettes. Makes a person wonder if they're going to be buying junk when they read such reports. And that's exactly what CNN Money, Consumer Reports, etc., does when they bad mouth American vehicles like the Corvette. They're pushing THEIR globalization agenda on those who will buy into it.

Anyhow....you've come to the right place to get opinions on the Corvette. Being here awhile I believe the forum members will tell you like it is. If they've had a lemon or numerous complaints with their 'Vettes they'll tell you. They won't sugar-coat anything.

Screw CNN....I don't pay attention to a damn thing they say or report on !

I disagree. I didn't see ANY reference to a C6 in the thread originator's posting. This thread is applicable to C5 or C6. Besides, these left wing, liberal, pro globalization organizations lke CNN Money have been trashing the C5 for years.

I believe this thread is just fine where it is at. In fact this subject is applicable in C5 and C6 categories.

Overall, mine's been pretty reliable. The heck with the CNN survey - I love my C5.

Now I know why I throw codes in mine just about every time I drive it.

The more expensive cars get the most complaints because those wealthier people are more **** about their rides not being perfect.
