Corvette Coupe and Convertibles Rank High in Study of Most Loved Sports Cars

It’s always newsworthy when we occasionally tell you about a 50-year-old one-owner Corvette.

That long-term ownership says as much about the person as it does the car, but a recent survey by iSeeCars sought to determine scientifically with their “Most-Loved Sports Cars” ranking just how much the original owners of sports cars from around the globe really, really, really like their vehicles.

Of course, there’s no absolutely scientific way to determine such a subjective factor, but iSeeCars did enough research to find out the percentage of 15-year-old cars that are still possessed by their original owner, hence giving a somewhat accurate indication of their satisfaction with their vehicles.

If you’re a fan of this website, it should come as no surprise to you that the Chevrolet Corvette coupe ranks #4 on this list with 3.2% of the original owners still in possession while the convertible version comes in at #6 at 2.5%.

Topping the list is the Mazda MX-5 Miata at 5.0%, followed by the #2 Dodge Challenger at 4.6% and the #3 Audi TT coupe at 4.0%.

Rounding out the top 12 are the #5 Ford Mustang coupe at 2.7%, #7 Mustang convertible at 2.4%, #8 BMW Z4 at 2.3%, #9 Audi TT convertible at 2.0%, #10 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class at 1.8%, #11 Porsche 911 convertible at 1.3%, and #12 911 coupe at 1.2%.

Study of Most Loved Sports Cars


This survey doesn’t really prove anything, but it is interesting to us how few people buy a car of any kind and keep it for a long time.

  1. Corvette has a very enthusiastic extremely loyal following. What’s not to love about a Corvette?

  2. Maybe they keep them because they are so frickin expensive. Years ago you could trade up every few years without getting hit hard on depreciation.

  3. The 15 year from new aspect may actually work against a ‘loayalt’ to the brand when it comes to Corvette.
    Chevrolet improves the Corvette with each generation. Starting with the introduction of the C5 Chevrolet has been introducing the next generation with a much shorter run of the previous generation.
    Like myself, Corvette owners move up the the next gen because performance enhancement, build quality, materials used and design. Any or all of the above. So the fact that we don’t keep our Corvettes as the original owner for 15 years is in no way a measure of our brand loyalty or satisfaction level with the car.
