The Corvette is the Most Satisfying Car to Own

Longtime Corvette owners probably think one of two things when they see the above headline: “way to state the obvious,” or “that’s an understatement.” But although Corvette aficionados have been aware of the car’s dependability for decades, we now have fresh polling data to support the stellar reputation of America’s supercar.
 
Consumer Reports surveyed its members about their car purchases in 2023, focusing on one key question: if you had to do it over again, would you buy or lease the same model? A plethora of luxury and high-performance vehicles jostled for positioning in the upper tier, but it was the Corvette that emerged as the clear, consensus choice for the top spot. 
 
(I Can Get) Satisfaction  
 
An overwhelming 93 percent of Corvette owners said they would definitely buy the car again, the highest mark in the Consumer Reports poll. For context, 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. A comparatively low 81 percent said they would re-purchase the Hyundai Ioniq 6, which was still good enough to slot in 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 synonymous with 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 blast 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 2.9 seconds.
