Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Ultrahigh performance, daily-driver livability, bargain sticker price.
Cons
- Some low-grade interior trim, can't get the Z06 as a coupe or convertible.
What’s new
To celebrate the last year of the C5, Chevrolet is offering a Commemorative Edition package on all models, including the Z06. In addition to special Le Mans Blue exterior paint and a Shale interior, Commemorative Edition 'Vettes will have special badging and polished aluminum wheels. The Z06 version will have a carbon-fiber hood, Le Mans stripes and "Z06 only" wheels. Other changes for 2004 include revised shock valving on the Z06.
Edmunds says
An excellent car that never ceases to amaze us. Cheap interior trimmings aside, the current-generation Corvette is the best thing GM has going for it.

Traded Down to a 2004 for Comfort
4.88 out of 5 starsJoe Anastasio, 10/26/2006
2004 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Convertible (5.7L 8cyl 4A)
Since July 1997 I have owned 13 C5 Corvettes (all new) and 1 C6 (2007 new). Problem was I bought the C6 Corvette site unseen (never sat in one). I'm 6'3" and 280lbs and my knees were against the dash. The 3" they took away from it did make a difference. I was lucky though. Found a dealer willing to swap me my 2007 for a 2004 plus a fair amount of money. I'm a happy camper again. … Plenty of comfort and all the fun of driving a Corvette. I really don't miss any of the new features in the C6 that I had for 3 months. I never used the Nav system. Be sure to "test drive" your new car BEFORE purchasing. I was lucky. Didn't lose a lot of money for my mistake.
I love my 04 Vette

2004 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Coupe (5.7L 8cyl 4A)
I have drove older Corvettes. I was amazed at the ride of this 04 Corvette. The more I drive this car, the more I love it. Power is awesome, ride is awesome, gas mileage is awesome. I never would have thought I would like this car so much.
My First Corvette at 64!
5 out of 5 starsMark R., 10/03/2017
2004 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Coupe (5.7L 8cyl 4A)
Have wanted a Corvette since I was 15 years old. At 64, I just bought my first Corvette, 2004 Coupe with only 31,000 miles. I took it in for a check up and they said it was in great shape. Dealer told me it was owned by a Pastor's wife, garage kept and traded in for a $100,000 Jaguar! I kid you not! It is so fun to drive, acceleration is great, and handles well. The seats are very … comfortable. The only think I had to replace was a cracked Bezel on driver's side. I couldn't be happier. I like that this was the last year of the C5. This Corvette gets better gas mileage than my 2003 Ford Ranger with a 6 cylinder in it!
Great American Car
4.88 out of 5 starsRed-Line, 11/07/2010
2004 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Convertible (5.7L 8cyl 4A)
This is my first Corvette. I am over 60 years old. This is just the right age to get a critter like this! My Mag Red convertible has all the vim and vigor you'd expect from a C5, and with more than 50,000 miles on it, it has lost nothing. I decided on the 04 C5 because it is the last of the generation you know, long and sleek with all of the bugs worked out! This car's acceleration will … snap you back into your seat and give you the sense of a fighter pilot's thrill.
