One of two things probably come to mind when longtime Corvette owners read the above headline: “way to state the obvious,” or “that’s an understatement.” Corvette loyalists know that the luxury car has been consistently satisfying its owners for decades. Now, we have fresh polling data that confirms the stellar reputation of America’s supercar.
Consumer Reports surveyed its members about their car purchases in 2023, with a focus on one question: if you had to undergo your car buying experience over again, would you buy or lease the same model? Several luxury and high-performance vehicles jockeyed for the top spot, but it was the Corvette that emerged as the clear, consensus favorite amongst drivers.
(I Can Get) Satisfaction
A resounding 93 percent of Corvette owners said they would definitely buy the car again, the highest mark in the Consumer Reports poll. By comparison, 88 percent of Rivian R1T owners said they would definitely buy it again – and Rivian’s electric pickup finished with the second-highest satisfaction score. Only 81 percent said they would re-purchase the Hyundai Ioniq 6, a mark still good enough to claim the list’s tenth spot. The entire Consumer Reports list was as follows:
1. Chevrolet Corvette (93% satisfaction score)
2. Rivian R1T (88%)
3. Mazda MX-5 Miata (88%)
4. Lexus NX Hybrid (87%)
5. BMW X5 (85%)
6. Rivian R1S (84%)
7. Ford Maverick Hybrid (83%)
8. Kia Telluride (82%)
9. Honda Pilot (82%)
10. Hyundai Ioniq 6 (81%)
Unlocking a New Gear
The Corvette’s continued popularity should come as no surprise. Last month, it was named to Car and Driver’s 10Best list for the 25th time (the second-most appearances ever, trailing only the Honda Accord). Yet even as the Corvette has become the automotive poster-child of consistency, it’s done anything but rest on its laurels.
With the 2025 Corvette, Chevy will enter the sixth model year of the eight-generation Corvette (or Corvette C8). The 2024 base-level Stingray was the most powerful production model yet. Thanks to its LT2 V8 engine, which focuses its power on the rear wheels, it was able to rocket a quarter mile in just 11.2 seconds. The Stingray also boasts 495 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, and its 0-to-60-time clocks in at a mere 2.9 seconds.
