Chevy Corvette Trumps Porsche 911 in J.D. Power Satisfaction Survey

Chevrolet nameplate beats out perennial winner Porsche according to new car owners

After a decade-long drought, the Chevrolet Corvette won the Midsize Premium Sporty Car category topping the Porsche dynasty. More than 84,000 people total were surveyed this summer by J.D. Power, and when the results were tallied, the premium sports car crowd loved the Corvette.

Chevrolet went through years of fine-tuning and testing to make the seventh-generation Corvette what it is today. Aspects of the Corvette that propelled it past the 911 include the handling, acceleration, fuel economy and audio system. Believe it or not, storage was also a key factor.

“Interestingly, storage was also an advantage vs. the competition in this segment — with owners citing more trunk space,” J.D. Power said in its evaluation.
