Default Consumer Reports (Again)

Last month they recommended the Stingray for purchase, giving it a very high rating and a reliability rating of Average (although it clearly would have been higher if they had restricted their evaluation to their data for the C7 and had not included C6 data).

In this newest issue, they list cars based upon owner satisfaction. At the top of the heap of "sporty" cars -- the Corvette Stingray, with a 95% rating of "Definitely buy again." Among all cars, only the Tesla Model S rates higher, with a 98% rating. Porsche 911 had an 88% rating.

Some of you have said that CR's data is not a reason to buy a car. Perhaps not, but that data is very helpful in identifying cars not to buy, and their data did influence me in my choice of a Corvette.
