Ok, so I owned a ‘99 C5 for just one year. I went thru a puddle after a hard rain and hydro locked the engine.
(I bought it used and learned the hard way it had an after market air intake. Insurance did cover it) But I LOVED it for that year
Anyway, time is coming soon that I want another vet. I’m sure I’ll be happy with another C5 but I’m really liking the C6 too. I do have some reservations though. It has been suggested that the C5 is the same car as the C6 but without all the electronics. Such as ignition or door locks. This has been implied as a concern- “The C6 is less reliable without actually improving anything significant.”
If you own a C6 I’m sure the attitude is forthcoming, but I’m not trying to trash talk anybody’s ride. I just want to make a solid purchase. I’ll spend my budget purchasing the newest car I can afford, so I’d obviously prefer not to buy a model with “likely mechanical flaws”...
My research seems to say to avoid ‘05-07”?
But the prices for a 05-07 are really tempting. So, please advise how you would go forward and why. Thanks for ALL opinions. I’m not offended with opposing ideas.
