THIS is the BEST CAR under $25K

- With 400 horsepower, 400 ft. lbs., a 0-60 time quicker than that of a Lamborghini Gallardo that is quadruple the price, it is no wonder I truly believe the C6 Corvette is the best performance car under $25k.

If you guys enjoyed this review you're definitely going to love my latest review of another Chevrolet powerhouse! CHECK IT OUT HERE! ua-cam.com/video/wvrUwIxogJA/v-deo.html
you got it right for 2 out of 3.. 1- i am having my midlife crisis post retirement.... 2 im buying something for pure fun... but im 38. but you are good!!
I have the exact car,but automatic
I really hope this IS a midlife crisis because I just bought one on my birthday last week. I just turned 76. So if this is mid life, then I'm in good shape. Thanks DriveHub. I enjoyed your youthful perspective very much..
My neighbor is 85 years old and drives a 2000 convertible Vette he bought new . He has over 360,000 miles on it and wants to hit 500.000 before he gives up driving . You have a long way to go to catch up to him .
Have fun !
OK...the planet is 25,000 miles in circumferance (more or less)
Your neighbor is 85 and drove his 2000 Corvette "over" 360,000 miles in 1 year.
His mileage is equal to driving around the entire PLANET 14.4 times....right
Are you sure he didn't buy a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner? (Beep Beep)
@@josephbyrne8211 no he got it new in 2000
Congrats on the purchase! I've been in a "midlife crisis" since my 20s and I'm in my later 30s now, so I better start soaking it up cause I don't have much time left.
@@josephbyrne8211 read it again genius . Lol !
Too many people assume it's a "mid-life crisis".... But in reality, it's often simply a case of "now that the kids are grown and I'm rid of the other drains on my wallet, I can afford one" kind of thing. In other words, the crisis is over and now it's time for ME..!!
EXACTLY....
I completely agree with you. This is the same case for my father. That is what makes me appreciate these cars. The people who drive them all come from a similar place like that. Thank you very much for watching, Steven!
I' m 50 and bought a yellow 2016 (used) mustang hard top. It is the mid life crisis that started with hotwheels.
Exactly why I just bought me a c7 2014. Best money spent.
I was about to post the exact same comment until I scrolled down and read yours! lol. I would have owned a Corvette in my 20's, 30's 40's if I could have afforded one. Now that I'm 50 and my kids are on their own I CAN afford one. No crisis!
I just bought one two weeks ago. Sold our house after 30 years.. I Will be 63 in August... Wife said I deserved it for working so hard over all those years. Told myself day before wasn't going to buy another sports car. Drove passed the car lot, seen the car that they just got in on trade the day before. Wasn't even on the lot yet. Off to the side.. stuck.out like a sore thumb. Stop talked to the sales man. Monday, 3 days later my wife wrote a check... Early birthday present. It deff makes up for selling my last sports car.. 2008 28k. Coupe. Fully loaded, I am in love with it.. it has several upgrades. I am truly blessed to be able to outright own it....amazing car..
I am 5'5" and have a 2011 and a 2012 C6. They are both convertibles with about every option. When compared to other Corvettes especially the C7 and C8 I like the clean styling of them. They are great in every way and the interior should not have been condemned so much and the car should not have been ridiculed when the C7 appeared. I am very happy with them and certainly would not part with them for a measly $25,000.
Nice job on the C6 video! Wasn't boring and explained why it's a great car.
I liked what you said at the end.
Its for hardworking people who work Monday thru Friday and just want the joy of driving a fast affordable sports car.
Overall i liked how in depth you went into your review 👍
That was a big point I wanted to talk about! That’s what it’s all about. Thank you very much for your comment and for watching 🙏🏽
DriveHub mom ppm moon mom m
Very inspirational much deep
FYI, because of your video; I have now,last week, bought a 2006 C6 convertible. Definitely was not planning on that last month. Odd thing is, I grew as a teen hating the look of the C6 Corvette. Now I love everything about it! Weird how life works out?
Have you guys seen the new vehicle I've added to the DriveHub stable? Head over to my new video to find out what it is! I think you're going to REALLY like it! ua-cam.com/video/olHUtOT2WJc/v-deo.html
Yep. NIce job.

I have a C6 and I love it. Handles good,Looks good,Stops great and it fantastic on gas.
Been a corvette enthusiast for years !! Outstanding video, my dude !!
You did GM, and it’s flagship sports car proper justice !!
I’m fan and subscriber, after that well thought out, and nicely edited review video !!
I just bought my 2007 corvette base, with 73000 miles, atomic orange, 6.0, with 2 tops, garage kept, dear maintained only, with new michelin tires, new brakes, new harmonic balancer, new shift cable and it runs quite. It's a coupe, with 6 speed automatic. I'm 73 and wanted a vette since 13. It rides and handles great.
Exactly right - you're buying it for what's under the hood, and it is a beautiful, iconic car.
Great presentation ! The video was very informative and clearly gave a “hands on” demonstration of the C6 features .
This was the very best virtual test drive with all the information necessary on the C6 Corvette.
Great production quality on this video man! You are definitely getting better with your editing skills keep it up!
Thanks a lot man! Been working hard at it!
I have a 2010 C6 and without a doubt each time I drive it it brings a smile to my face and a joy to my ears. I have no intentions of ever getting rid of it and stay on top of the maintenance and upgrades that aid to its performance and appearance. I’m definitely one of those blue collar workers you described with the exception that I grew up 20 miles outside of Detroit and always saw the new models hit the streets. I have been in love with Corvettes since a young boy and promised myself I would own one. My wife knew my dream and bought my C6 brand new as a Christmas present, so as you can see, my Corvette is not the only “keeper” I have in my life.
How's it going brotha do you still have these two keepers?
Loved your video! I’ve been kicking around the idea of buying a Cayman S or Alfa 4C but after watching this video my interest in a Corvette has been renewed. They’re a great bang for the buck sports car that tend to be more reliable than most other sports cars too.
That’s why I make these videos! I really appreciate the comment and thank you very much for watching!
@@DriveHub I actually test drove the Cayman, and loved it, but compared to my recently purchased Vette it was a simple choice. A grey Porsche or a beautiful yellow Corvette convertible. An easy choice.
I take mine on road trips. Who wants a problem 1500 miles from home, and 300 miles from the nearest Porsche dealer?
"all corvettes looks good, duh". hahaha thats true.
Great Video! I love my black 2010 C6. I'm very satisfied!
Nice car! Happy Motoring with it!
Thank you very much. In my opinion you nailed it. Great Car, great video.
Great job, I’ve owned a 2005 , C6 manual red convertible, since 2007. I agree with all your points. The C7 is even better, but I’m having too much fun in my C6 to bother trading it in. The only thing I’ve done is install a Kenwood double din, to get blue tooth, and added some camera’s , front and rear. Can’t wait for summer.
Great vid. Very informative. I like the C6 style the most! TY...
Like the corsa exhaust, nice sound without being obnoxious, great video. Love my C6 convertible!
I was pleasantly surprised. I really liked the video. You sold me on the car.I liked what you said and how you said it. Great job!
By far the best reviewer. Funny and straight forward. You hit the nail in the head with buyer demographic.
One note, the c7 is also of the same chassis family, many parts interchange and it also has the “transaxle” layout. The c5-c7 are a great double a arm chassis that is pretty timeless from a performance standpoint.
I just got into corvettes. Your videos help alot! ❤️
Great review! I have a 2009 C6 and you nailed it!!
Love your review, especially your subtle sarcasm.... And I love C6 Vettes!!
Kenneth Albert ,Irony?
I have a C6 Z51 3lt vert. It has a Corsa Extreme. It sounds sooooo
nasty. Driving it is truly therapeutic for me.
Exactly what I have and I love it. The Corsa sounds amazing. I picked one one about 5 years ago with only 9500 miles on it. Best car for the $$$.
great review dude! love how you are very professional but also humoristic at the same time :D
actually, this would be the best car for double that amount of money ! it is just incredible that you can have it for that kind of money. America, power to the people ! :) with love and jealousy from germany.
We love Germany and Russia.
@@flexl9214 well... Germany anyway
I have watched the video several times and couldn’t agree with you more. I have a 2008 Z51 3LT option package with dual mode exhaust. The car is identical to yours. The best color scheme for a C6 in my opinion. I also use it as my daily driver except when it snows. Every time I get in my Corvette I have a big smile on my face. I also have a 94. I still love and enjoy that also. Drive on. Thanks for the video.
Well done video dude,lots of good information and it was especially nice to have a delivery that didnt have every sentence start off with "um" or "uh",you even managed to squeeze some comedy in there,it was fun to watch!!!
Great review! Informative, and brought a big ol smile to my face! Thanks!
Finally a really good review!! Well done young man.
Thank you very much Mark that means a lot!
Great review by a great car guy. You made me want to go find one and buy it !!
So glad you made this video. I rebuild cars on my channel and recently rebuilt a C6 corvette for under $11k. I’m absolutely in LOVE with this car. Sooo much bang for buck. I’d recommend to everyone.
Pretty much the best test drive I have ever seen! Thank you.
Ok, I'm that guy... not mid-life crisis, but a retirement present to myself, when I had to sell my motorcycles because of health, I bought a 2012 GS convertible... I'm at the age where the goodies in your trunk are in my past sadly, but about the car -- it's a blast and I chuckled at some of your points about the interior... you're right... who really cares? But I still have a bit of fight left in me, so I bought a set of headers and had them installed and dyno-tuned and let's just say it is even more fun... I'm tall like you are, so your video reminded me of that - we're kind of stuffed into the Vette. I chuckled about the 'large speedo, so you can tell just how fast over the speed limit you are going'... yep! lol. And, you are right, keeping the traction control ON, because these cars are not passenger cars like we all drive, they are sports cars, and power to weight is way-way-more different... mine does have some more goodies like magnetic-ride control, and HUD, etc, but yeah, the car is a blast down the interstate... it's my summer vacation on wheels! Fun video! Take care young man.
hemikid52 .... I also had to sell my bike because of a bone cancer in my spine. That was depressing, but my wife told me I should buy a sports car. I made a list of five cars and the C6 Z06 was on the list. However, I opted for the Ferrari 360 Spider. I still would like to get the big block Vette, but not likely to happen.
Choco Latte dang, man. The 360 is a pretty different beast at a totally different price point. I’m younger but can easily afford a C6 and its gas, maintenance, and insurance. 360? No way. But I’m glad you got into one and I hope you’re enjoying it! I rented an F430 at a track and it was extremely fun.
Shut the fuck up, Woodstock. Go listen to some Canned Heat and roll around in the mud, you goddamn hippie.
Me too! 75th birthday present! I love it. I have the NPP exhaust option, which was modified by the "Mild to Wild" kit which gives you the 3K rpm sound from the git-go!
Rich
witt
I am 6 ft 318 lbs, my 2007 was a Targa top and it was like putting a condom on but my o6 is a convertible and sooo much better to get in or out, I just slide down the seat back. In my other Vettes I got compliments occasionally however my convertible 06 in white with chrome wheels gets complimented every single day usually several times a day!
my favorite sport car since childhood. In the past it was c4. Now i think that c6 is the best of every vettes ever made. nice video
C8
Really good content and style of delivery. I'm a fan of Jay Leno's Garage. This is just as good.
Good video and correct information about the C6. Drove a C7...too much Star Wars in the dash for me, but a nice car.
Really appreciate this video on my favorite all time car.
I definitely like the C6 Corvettes as I had a 2005 new and a 2008 new. Both of convertibles and the 2008 was a Callaway car. In fact, the 2005 I had was the same color combination you have. Loved them both, great riding cars and can't say anything negative about them and never had any issues with the convertible electric tops and either car. Good luck with yours.
You certainly had a great car!
Luv'ed the video! You took us on a tour that was really great. Excellent job!
Thank you so much Jim!
Not only do I love the C6 I’m looking for a z06 but I thoroughly enjoyed your take on the whole car as well. probably my favorite part though was the fact that I got to see my old home out of the window as you were commentating. New Hampshire will always be my home I lived there 15 years it’s amazing. Luckily I’m in South Florida now and can drive one year round.
I own a 2010 Grand Sport coupe. 6 speed manual. It is loaded with the 3L package. 19K miles on her. Great Vette.
I have 2006 convertible in yellow with black interior with the Corsa exhaust and love it.
Nice job on the video, thought you did a great job of explaining more of the nuances that most would leave out.
Thanks
Loved the video have a 2005 C6 convertible of my own and can definitely say i dont regret going for it
I own that exact 2007 convertible in the same maroon color with the cashmere interior. Mine however has auto trans which puts the gearshift on the steering wheel. Mine also has the volume control and channel changer on the steering wheel. I just wanted to mention that those options were available. I think it's one of the best Corvettes ever designed.
The car test driven appears to be the base, LT1 model. No head-up display. No heated seats. Basic wheels. Although the brakes have been upgraded to drilled discs. I've just moved up from an '06 C6 LT3 convertible to a comparable '19 C7 LT3 convertible. I wouldn't have thought the C6 could be improved. Until I drove and bought the '19 C7!
He said it right, 6 speed manual and simple, not to many buttons!
Great video, I enjoyed the commentary very much. I really liked the comment at 9:25, I laughed hard, that was smooth.
8:33 thanks a lot for paying attention to the startup from different angle as well, thats important, you got my thumbs up!
Love your article. Bought my '09 (3LT) in '11 from first owner when it had 24K mi. He installed a COMP cam (115 LSA), cold air intake, LG headers and the LS3 turned slightly more HP than the stock LS7 for that yr model. The car is quick enough for a grocery-getter. Here in Tx I can get to the store for Blue Bell ice cream and back home before condensation forms on the carton !! I didn't understand much about the design before I got the car but after driving it, my hat goes off to all the folks in Bowling Green !!! Amazing vehicle for the $$$$
Thank you for the great review! I'm a 48 yr old man looking for just such a thing. Damn the interior.
Nice video and the guy was easy to listen to ...Lots of good information that I didnt know ...I agree that the exhaust is the best sound ever ..Thanks for putting this on here ...
Great video! Very informative and fun to watch! Love the sense of humour, too! Beautiful car...I think I'll get one!
Young Doug Demuro?
He's way better than Doug. Doug knows nothing about performance driving
'Great video!! ...'makes me want to part with $25,000 tomorrow for the right C6... I've owned a C2 roadster and a C3 t-top... and I'd love to have one more Corvette before I head into that last roundup (just celebrated my first birthday that begins with a "7")... So thanks again for giving so much detail about the experience of driving a C6 roadster...
We are picking up our 2008 Corvette C6 LS3 in a few weeks, sight unseen. The handsome fellow that represented this awesome machine gets a thumbs up from us! Very informative, yet keeps everything light and humorous. We got a kick out of the items he keeps in the trunk! Keep up the good work, young man! We'll keep an eye out for you in other videos.
Nice review. I have been thinking about adding a C5 or C6 to compliment my C4. C4's had an adjustable suspension.
Completely agree with you. I have a 2007 Corvette convertible and still turns heads even though is 12 years old. The LS2 engine is a monster.
The LS2 is a beast. Thanks for watching and enjoy your C6, Happy Motoring!
Hey guys! If you enjoyed this review on the C6 Corvette, you're definitely going to want to see my review on the C6 Corvette Z06! Check it out here; ua-cam.com/video/2zH6XEk5rlI/v-deo.html
C6 is my favorite Gen and your video pretty much pushed me over the top. It's time. I must have one. Well done, friend.
Very well done, honest and non pretentious review, thanks for posting it!
I`ve had an `06 C6 for a couple months and love it. I`m 72 yoa and a non-current aerobatic pilot. My other toy is a Harley Springer. Could have got one with an LS3 , which is quicker, but went with mine because it was un-molested.
I have a C6 Coupe (2007) that I use as a daily driver. I put 125 miles a day six days a week to go to work round trip. I love the ride> I love the mileage (31 mpg) and most important I love the look and style of the car. It is one of those vehicles that you get to have everything.
What an awesome story! Glad to see someone who truly uses their car like this. Thanks for watching and enjoy your vette!
Thanks for a great review. I had been considering a Corvette but didn't know enough to decide. After seeing this, I started shopping for a C6 coupe. After 2 weeks, I found one in my local area. Just got it yesterday. It's still too cold to drive it much yet, but summer is coming!
Mine is same color as yours with the manual transmission. Drove about an hour yesterday, it was great.
So then I decided to check out your other videos and discovered that I had also watched your I bought a Jeep Wrangler with WAY too many miles video since I had done that as well!!!
Thanks again.
Really love your manner in which you tell the story. Waiting for a new video from you!!
Good video, you did a great job. I owned that exact car, even with a Corsa exhaust. I love taking the garbage out cuz it was parked in the garage, with the top down, and I just love that waterfall. There is nothing I did not like about this car. 191000 miles and I changed the battery once. You are so right when you say keep it somewhat generic. My second favorite car happens to be a GM product also, 2014 CTS v.
Thank you for watching! 191k on a vette is awesome to hear. Funny you should say that about the CTS V. I actually just had a 2013 CTSV Wagon stick shift for a few days to film a review with. If you liked this video, you should love this one; ua-cam.com/video/MrBhXhHuhuw/v-deo.html
There's so much to be said about the Corvette. You got your haters of course, but you know what? Go ahead and find a car for that price with that value. They can complain about the interior all they want, and compare to a BMW or Porsche, but look at the price difference. The fact is, anybody that pays 100000 + for a Porsche, will never ever say they made a mistake. It's all about pride.
12:34 Heel-and-toe shifting in boots, I love it. I can't even do it in a flexible shoe.
Thanks, Jerry!
Funny. My C7 has two buttons for seat presets...button 1, no shoes...button 2, with shoes. Wouldn’t even attempt to drive it in western boots, so “good onya”.
Really liked this and it helped to solidify my opinion even more regarding the C6. I have an appointment tomorrow morning to test drive an "08 Convertible. Cant wait.
I love my C5 for the same reasons. Great video, had to subscribe.
2 months ago I upgraded the stock exhaust on my 2005 to a Borla SII. I sounds great, and I enjoy driving it even more than before.
I enjoyed a 2008 C6 convertible for a number of years. I enjoyed your review and it is spot on except you better have very good snow tires to daily drive a C6 in New Hampshire. Those wide tires are like snow skis otherwise in snow. Thanks for the video.
You got that right about the snow tires! Thanks for watching, Ken!
So beautiful! Nothing gets my heart pumping like a Corvette!!
I had a 05 and loved it. Hated the electrical problems with it though. They were expensive repairs! My first month of ownership spent 3k in door locking issues, motor sensors and a full radio/nav system. Thank god for the warranty! I'll get another one someday.
"NOT COCAINE" lmao
Love this review!...I bought my 2007 C6 last March. I paid $20,000 for it w/63,000 miles. Corsa
exhaust, 3LT interior, Blade Silver, stock chrome 5 spoke rims.
My dream car.....daily driver, also not “mid-life crisis”, I could just finally afford to pull the trigger on this investment and enjoy the rest of my years.....😎
I recently bought an 08 C6 convertible with the LS3, and a cat back x pipe exhaust. I fell in love right away, easy to drive fast, the car is posesed it will make you do things that you wouldn't normally do. Every time I drive it I hit 100 at least once somewhere along my path. The sound is intoxicating, and you are correct as a daily driver its completely functional. I paid $14,000 out the door with 49,000 miles on it. DEAL! LT4 interior too.
I have an '03 50th Anniversary 6 speed manual, looks very similar, and I have Corsa extreme exhaust too. Love your and my Corvette!
my favorite corvette edition,precision red,beige interior,c6! the best!
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
That's actually Monterey Red, but I agree so much that I've owned one for 13 years now
Thanks for that info Harve! Always appreciate that stuff. Enjoy your vette my friend, Happy Motoring!
I still like the c5 and the way the headlights are hidden for daytime driving
Does look smooth and helps prevent uv burn on the lens!
@@stanceswitch6419 but not as aerodynamic at night and the motors are expensive to replace
Awesome commentary. Enjoyed the whole thing; even your voice lol. I'm looking for C6 Z06 2010 or newer.
Like your commen sence approach to your review of the corvette well done
I got my corvette for 12k it had high mileage but everything was amazing in it the interior was clean the seats weren’t ripped and it had everything working I got it for a pretty good price it is the LS2 but it’s fast
Great Video....Thank You...I love my C6 even more now.
I have that car (2006) too, except a coup and that exact color!! Thanks for the awesome video and your title is right on!
Unlike the C7 and the C8, the C6 is much more elegant and will look much more modern as time goes on.
I love my C6 Corvette - I agree with everything you said !!!
Nice review, bro! I prefer the coupe, but your convertible is quite nice. I'm still a few years away from getting one myself. We'll see if it'll be a C6 or C7. Take care.
Thank for shedding some positive light on the c6 . Cool video
Great job! Really enjoyed your straightforward, clear explanations and descriptions. Also love you gripe about all those whiners who demand a luxury interior experience from a high value sport car. When the interior in question is in a car costing 10's of thousands less than its competitors, expect a bit less where a sport car can be less (interior) and stop complaining. Truth is the interior they are bitching about is actually very nice and comfortable as it is in your 2006. If the car does not massage their butts they are not happy. Note: "Emblazoned" not "Embezzled" - but it was understood, so no foul. Well done!
It's embossed.
I agree with everything you said. New car's have stupid gadgets. All you need is a phone mount and you're good to go.
Couldn’t agree more! The vette is a simple driving experience that lets you experience the number one thing... the act of driving the car!
WeatherTech has a great cup holder phone mount available. It fits most cupholders as you can adjust to fit. It costs $35 plus $8 shipping. I bought one for my 2013 MBZ E350. I would recommend it.
KISS = Keep It Simple Stupid. I agree that one really buys a performance car to drive, and the gadgets are superfluous.The 2 power outlets in this car were a good start.
However..as mentioned there is no real problem with using it as a daily driver...which is where some amenities become more appreciated.
And a good stereo
A coworker bought a $40,000 Camry. I didn't even know they went that high. It's okay, and has lots of electronic gadgets, but that's about $15,000 too high, in my opinion, for a rather boring car. I'd happily trade ALL the gadgets for an LS.
A week ago purchased my first corvette. 2005 C6 Convertible, in millennium yellow, 38K mileage. Very good condition. All stock, at this point. Considering a better exhaust system and changing out the stereo. Love the car and since I have wanted a corvette for over 50 years, I plan to throughly enjoy it!
THIS GUYS DEFINITELY NOT BORING,SHARP & PASSIONATE GREAT VIDEO
Love the C6!!! Awsome video!
Thanks man! I would assume you love the C6 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Yes the Corvette is the greatest American car still.. even the older gen have a ton of character. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for watching!
