Chevrolet Corvette Z06 vs Chevrolet Matiz

The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is longer and wider than the Chevrolet Matiz making it more difficult to park. It is also considerably lower making entry and exit uncomfortable. The Corvette is only available as a 2-door. The Matiz - originally styled by the world acclaimed Giugiaro - has 5. Plus the Matiz has much lower fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and car insurance costs. What is amazing is the Matiz delivers all these benefits AND it's over £57,000 cheaper than the Corvette. You could buy 9 Matiz for the price of one Corvette and still have change. Both cars will cruise at the 70 mph speed limit. The only advantage the rear wheel drive Corvette seems to have is acceleration.
