We like
Mid-engined layout does deliver a car that handles and steers better
Performance is both plentiful and characterful
There is performance value here too, and surprising versatility
We don't like
It's big and heavy for a mid-engined two-seater - and it shows on the road
The derivative styling lacks a bit of sophistication
The driving position could be better, especially if you are tall
When the Chevrolet brand Wannounced its departure market back in 2013, few predicted that there would one day be a bright side to all the job losses, factory closures and general doom and gloom of GM's slow retreat from our continent.

It is the eighthgeneration Chevrolet Corvette: the first car in this American sporting icon's seven-decade history to be offered in right-hand-drive form.
