Is the Corvette a reliable car? I see many for sale here with low miles. Wondering if I should buy one 2015 and newer.

This review of a 2025 Toyota Crown Signia may interest you.

Have a good friend up north, who has a son that is Shop Manager/ fill in Mechanic at a Mercedes Dealership! He used to tell me, how many new Mercedes needed worked for workmanship problems! PS: I am a GM owner, and PS: I have a 95 Corvette, and it is still running great! I also have had Cadillac’s, also great. I will always buy American!!!!!!!!!

I hated that our new 2024 Subaru cut off, I felt the idle was too high as it would jerk us while foot on brake, feeling like we had been hit from behind. Dealership said twice that they couldn’t do anything about it since it was required by law. The oil change guy did tell me that someone else could do work so I looked online and found a highly rated auto stop eliminator. $99 and my son who watched the YouTube video instillation had it done in a snap. Makes me happy every time I start the car and see it is off!

Auto Starts only make sense for Hybrids.

I have owned a C6 2009 Corvette LS3 for 6 years. Not a single repair issue. Great styling. The C8 IMHO looks like a kids toy. However, it is awesome fast. The problem is that you can get out of second gear driving in the Villages.

I bought quite a few GM Buick and very happy, of course do you realize that the encore GX and money of the Buicks are now made in South Korea? The only 100% made in USA car is Tesla.
I've had several Toyotas with good quality , Volvo whose car seat never warmed up correctly, a beautiful Audi A6 that had 12 issues in 24 months. And actually stranded us on the highway to do a faulty gas meter. I'd say we've been lucky over All.
Every car company has crappy cars and some good cars it just depends who actually made them in the factory that week and let's not forget GM's fiasco with jiggly car keys turning off the car because of a 2 cent spring

sorry to hear about your failing health!

"most reliable GM".

few miles???.......it's a fun car, never a primary car. peeps just don't drive them a lot.

According to JD Powers today, out of 31 manufactures here are the true rankings from that manufacturers you listed. BM 24th. Audi 28th. BMW 9th. Genesis 18th. Acura 25th. Chevrolet is actually pretty good at number 6.

Ruh-roh... who you been talkin' to?

I might have some of these details incorrectly but as a casual observer, it seemed as soon as Japan invaded the U.S. auto market in the mid-70's (anyone remember the Civic CVCC?), The Big Three started to respond. Slowly.

It wasn't until the mid-80's as Toyota and Honda started getting a solid foothold did they turn their focus more sharply. Remember Ford's laughable "Quality is Job One!" slogan? Or Lee Iacocca's stunning statue of ubiquity, the Chrysler K-Car?

Management styles were trying very hard to play catch-up as the 90's showed even more Japanese inroads to the U.S. auto market. TQM (Total Quality Management) tried to replicate the Japanese production style. Then came the One-Minute Manager, followed by "Management By Walking Around." Then more American corporate upheaval as they attempted to implement Jack Welch's (G.E.) Six Sigma, Hybrid Teams, Theory Of Constraints - TOC, LEAN, etc.). Always trying to find the golden key to successful corporate productivity, but really still just playing catch-up after their global domination of the mid-century.

I agree completely, i too was a GM fan.

Lexus
 

Recommend Lexus SUV

Had a 2003 Lexus 350rX. Donated in 2019 with 354,000 miles Never an issues other than routine maintenance like oil and tires

Now have 2010 Lexus 450RH. Hybrid with over 267,000 miles Never an issue other than battery in spite of driving back and forth to DC frequently

Great cars Always treat as truck like carrying enough porcelain tile to tile the entire house in a few trips. Sweet ride and work horse

While we are talking about Japanese cars…Mazda CX-5 gets my vote. I have 2 in the Soul red.
One is 2021, the other 2020.
When purchasing them, I researched Consumer Reports and YouTube.
In their class, Mazda and Lexus consistently came in first and second. I needed two cars, so it was MUCH more economical to buy two Mazdas, rather than two Lexus. And if I need a dealership, Lexus is in Clermont or Orlando, Mazda Leesburg or Ocala.
My Mazdas are terrific. Another Japanese success story.

I've never been brand loyal. I buy used with cash (no financing for this guy). So I have the luxury or history and recalls and reports so I can buy the most reliable of that particular year class when I'm shopping.

Mazda is in Clermont not Leesburg.

I have had most car models in my life. All were great if driven and maintained properly. Except for the 60's MG.

or you could wait for the new C9 Corvette

Before moving here, sold my Chevy pickup that had 350000 miles on it never had a problem. Currently driving an Equinox with 120000 miles on it.

Tesla is not 100% made in the US. It still has components made in Canada, and even some still made in China. It is the company with the MOST components made in the US, but no - it is not exclusively American made.

Two camry's ago got 350,000 miles but ultimately it failed inspection due to seat belt retraction sensor and for just under 1000 replaced it.

Current one is 3 plus years old and is great. Concerned that it will be hybrid in future. Thinking about trading in current model for this year to avoid hybrid change.

I never even touch UAW junk.
