Consumer Reports Rates Corvette in “Top Three”

In a competition among seven open-air sports cars performed by Consumer Reports, the Chevrolet Corvette was ranked number three overall, just behind the Mercedes-Benz SLK and the Porsche Boxster.

The top three were followed by the Nissan 350Z, the Honda S2000, the BMW Z4, and the Lotus Elise. Here are some excerpts from the rating by Consumer Reports: The Corvette provides abundant torque and power on demand, and sounds invigorating when pushed. It’s both a comfortable cruiser and an exciting sports car. It has a roomy interior and the optional power top is simple to use. On the track, the Corvette is controllable at its very high limits . The standard ESC allows for aggressive driving, particularly in competition mode, but still keeps the car on course. The 400-hp, 6.0 liter V8 performs effortlessly in any gear. The six-speed manual has well-spaced ratios. Fuel economy is a respectable 21 mpg on regular.
