Just swapped the best car I ever had - my 2001 C5 on an 08. It's as much more than the C5 than the C5 was over my C4. Incredible car.

I had the super high mileage '99 that I gave away to my son in May and the '07. I found that the '99 is easier to drive than the '07, but all the new bells and whistles, more power and etc... makes up for a lot. The C-6 is a fine car but that '99 is something special too.

We have a C5 (his) and a C6 (mine). As much as I love the '05, I have to admit that I prefer the '02's suspension over the Z51 that the '05 has. Sorry...but it's true! The '02 is much more comfortable.

Had a 99 6 spped coupe. Trade it in on a A6 08 Roadster. First thing my wife said about it was she really flet the ride was smooter than the 99's ride. May have to do with the magnetic ride control on the 08 that was not on the 99. Can't take away the power difference also. We both loved our 99 but really love our new 08.
