For The Corvette is a genuine icon. It combines unique, instantly recognisable styling with brute force from the 6.2 V8 engine, and it corners well, too.
Against Running costs are astronomical because of poor fuel economy, short service intervals and a high CO2 output. Interior quality, though improved recently, is way short of what it should be.
What Car? says
The C6 has masses of road presence and kerb appeal, is keenly priced, and even provides a sharp drive these days. Worth a look as a quirky performance alternative.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
There are only two versions of the Corvette C6 - a coupe and a convertible with an electric folding roof, although the coupe’s top is removable. Buy one and you’ll get an American automotive legend, and one that’s improved with every iteration. This one’s the best yet, with mind-blowing straightline performance, yet a slightly surprising appetite for corners. The steering feel is slightly numb, but turn-in is sharp and there’s plenty of grip from the wide tyres. The gearbox can feel agricultural, however, requiring a hefty shove to go across the gate sometimes, and cabin quality still falls short of European standards, with flimsy plastics in places. At £40k, it’s keenly priced for all that speed, but options are expensive and running costs unsurprisingly high. There’s negligible performance difference between the coupe and the convertible, but wind noise is high with the roof down (or off) in both.
