Just came back from a round trip from Chicago to Columbus and back. Got 28.8 MPG.

Which Corsa do you have? I have been doing some research and seem to like the touring with tigershark tips, but I have not heard one in real life (only online recordings).

they make coupe corvettes??
really though it's a vette it must be a vert, you will wish u had a vert later if you don't get one this time.
ever see a 53-62 coupe? NO all were verts it's kinda a vette thing. Plus they look better in vert form IMO nothing looks better than a vette with the top down.

This is my first winter with the vert and it's just as warm as the coupe...I can tell no difference. I've also been amazed that there is no difference in either of mine re: wind noise. IMO, you can't go wrong with either....just depends on your budget.
Good luck with your decision!

Hope this helps
