Corvette C6 Coupé (05 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 04 January 2008 Last Updated: 01 December 2009 The Corvette is a rare sight in the UK, but it offers a lot of car for the money. It costs less than a BMW M3, but the Corvette has real supercar pace and presence. The latest C6 model that arrived in 2004 also handles as well as most of its European opposition and offers decent practicality too, although the fact it's left-hand drive only hampers it in the UK. The Z06 was launched at the start of 2006 and ups the ante further with a 7.0-litre V8 engine pumping out 505bhp to put the Corvette right up there with the very quickest cars. 3 out of 5 Other Corvette reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Gallery Also Consider 3.5 out of 5 BMW Z4 M (06-08) Awesome engine and performance, dramatic looks, well built Heavy clutch and gear change, cramped cabin, snappy throttle response, stiff ride Read full review 5 out of 5 Porsche Cayman (05 on) Perfectly balanced, sublime to drive, superb performance, affordable prices, surprisingly practical Miserly standard equipment levels, expensive options Read full review 4 out of 5 Mercedes-Benz SLK AMG (04-10) Thundering performance, AMG styling, superb engine, sharp handling Not as nimble as a Porsche Boxster, slow-witted manual mode Read full review Find other coupe cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
