I have 127K on the car with regular maintenance, the only issue that as come up is cam and crank sensor. I get 25+ mpg on the hwy and about 16 mpg around town and when I kick the car in the ass it moves out pronto. very very very comfortable to drive as well... done plenty of 400+ mile days. and that's all for 40k new...  |
Don't get me wrong it great value for $40k. My problem is the fit and finish, handling and engineering shows where they cut corners.
What's also strange is where you see corvettes in the country. When I lived in Westlake village, CA I did not see many corvettes on the road however here in Dallas I see quite a few. Same in IL. I guess it's more of a mid western / southern car....
