The biggest thing I don’t like about your Corvette is you have it and I don’t have one lol Beautiful car I’m still on a waiting list

[@donreid6399]

Many of the problems you detail in the video (rear window and over-the-shoulder visibility problems) are shared by Ferrari and Lamborghini owners...but at three or four times the price. Welcome to the world of exotic cars, my friend! 🙂

[@killerkane1957]

I’ve had my Z51 3LT for about a month. I knew about your complaints well before I got an allocation. I am a 65-year-old car guy. You bought a sports car. Not a Blazer or a grocery getter. All you mentioned can be corrected. And yes, no car is perfect.

[@johnguilfoyle5341]

The thing i hate the most about it is dealers raising the price to astronomical amounts above list,they can keep them.I wish more people thought that way it would end price gouging.

[@MR3DDev]

"The cellphone location is hard to reach" I think that is a fantastic design wish more people could not reach their phone when driving.

[@ochordsorce8330]

I'm with you on those 5 things, especially with the lack of protection for the radiator. Looks like safety wasn't a priority with all the poor visibility

[@stevennatale4471]

Honestly, those are all pretty "nit-picky". 1. Chevy now offers protectors for the radiators due to customer concern. NOT engineer concern just customers. I have NEVER needed them for ANY other vehicle with exsposed radiators EVER, but for some reason THESE are "extremely brittle" for some reason? 2. Rear Visibility. This is a slight concern. Play with the settings of the rear view camera, it can be made better, even at night. BUT, even at its "best" it is barely acceptable IMO. 3. Ventilated Seats...its right in the name, simply ventilated. I like them not to be overly powerful, yet these are slightly underpowered. IF you turn on the A/C to FLOOR setting, it helps as the seat ventilation picks up the cooler air, give it a couple mins and your fanny should be happy. 4. Cell Phone charger..LOVE IT! out of the way, wireless CARPLAY works VERY well, one of my favorite features. It keeps me from even trying to access my phone while driving, a good thing! Plus, just dont feel the need to. After a year, I no longer forget it anymore either, THAT was the hardest thing to deal with WRT the phone charger location. 5. Trunk does get warm, yup. Rule of thumb "Cool in Frunk, Warm in the Trunk". All are concerns, none make me hate, most just take time to become comfortable with. Overall, nothing there that would inhibit years of enjoyment, IMO! ;)

[@seanmay3605]

Lady I work with. Has one. She has a hard time opening her door in parking spaces because it’s so long. When she asked the dealer he told her it is not a commuter car. It is a race car. Is that your answer all your rearview problems. And changing lanes. It shouldn’t even have cupholders. It is a race car not a grocery getter

[@FindtheRightRoad]

I respectfully disagree. It can be both...

[@stevelambert8854]

Bought my C8 in 2021. Just a great car. A gift to all petrol heads here in the US.

[@mellowsid1928]

I have a 21 C8 and everything you said is valid. I put grille guards on the front and sides of the car immediately and would recommend everyone do the same. I believe every C8 should have the rear view mirror camera for safety reasons. The ventilated seats recirculate the cabin air so if you turn them on with the windows down you won't feel much. With the AC on and the windows up though it is much better. I think all Chevy vehicles do ventilated seats this way. That said my buddies Ford ST is still way better. Ford pumps the AC air directly into the seats. Ice cold! Chevy needs to do that. The phone charger is put in the middle for safety reasons. They don't want you fiddling with it while driving and with the screen it is mostly unnecessary to grab your phone. I put heat shielding on the inside of the trunk liner and it lowered the temps by 30 or so degrees. Still warm but keeps my hot food warm until I get home. Would be a good pizza delivery car. Lol. Great video!

[@460rowland3]

As a former Corvette owner, I see these cars as more recreational or hobby type automobiles, and not the best as daily drivers for most of us. Of course, the majority of “enthusiast” vehicles are probably in this category, and I applaud whatever team at Chevrolet was responsible for bringing the C8 to market. Sometimes the engineers overlook some obvious (even to the casual observer) design shortfalls!

[@scottlong6241]

Water pours in to the engine compartment through the rear deck hood vents when washing or if it rains necessitating engine bay cleanup. My 2LT seats do an amazing job cooling so it must be the 1LT seats that are at issue. Other than that I agree with you on the other 4. That said, it is an AMAZING car to drive and I love every single time I can get behind the wheel.

[@stevennatale4471]

Its just washwater and rainwater, no harm at all. If anything, this engine stays REMARKABLY clean with very little ROAD water entering. Its like a small waterfall when I wash the car back there, no issues

[@islandon22]

Tom if you HATE those 5 issues, man you would've hated my 72 Lotus Europa! It had all your complaints and magnified them. Yet, it was a thrill every time I took off in that little, razor sharp and nimble, mountain road warrior. You've become jaded my friend, as I have too, over the decades. We still have dreams like we once did, but now we have greater expectations and thus, greater disappointments. We grew up, but it came with a price.

[@davidverhoef3129]

Your 72 Lotus Europa had an inconveniently located cell phone charger?

[@sherlock1895]

I agree with the visibility issue. I did put blindspot mirrors on my mirrors. I agree with the radiator issue as well. I bought guards for that. I have a simple cell phone so the charger is a nonissue for me. The heated seats work well. I’ve never tried the ventilation feature. The trunk is very hot. I’ve checked mine with a gauge and some spots were 134F. We are very careful when we travel not to let our meds back there or electronic devices. All in all I feel your comments are spot on. Like you we love the car, and are currently on the list for the E-ray. Cheers!

[@sherlock1895]

Here’s an update on the blindspot mirrors. I bought some slightly larger ones because of some weird reflection issue I had with sun. Cheers!

[@robsan9017]

I don't have a problem with your dislikes except for #2 on your list. I'm sorry but no one, and I repeat no one, has a right to complain about "visibility" when they have signed on the dotted line for a low slung - low to the ground mid-engine sports car. When you made that decision and signed you essentially agreed to throw 'visibility' caution out the window. Period

[@ueckerman1058]

Properly set mirrors will have no blind spots. I had C7 GS before I bought C8 3LT Z51 and, once you get used to mirrors, you don’t need blind spot monitoring. Agree with the radiator grill issue and the wireless charger but pretty minor issues overall. I absolutely love my C8!

[@azmike3572]

And there are aftermarket wider-angle mirrors that can be attached and plugged in.

[@Jamesthevetteman]

My C7 Z51 3LT has the same issue with the ventilated seats. And it’s a 2014! I was really hoping they would have addressed that issue in the C8. I guess there’s always the C9 to get it right. 😂

[@MrJeffsdad]

These things are important but not game changers. Buy the car, enjoy the ride and install necessary fixes.

[@thevetters6456]

I have a 2020 red on red LT2. I agree to your dislikes but my likes definitely out number these issues. What a great vehicle.

[@WFO.]

Maybe sell the C8 and buy another Blazer?

[@coltspop]

I don't know about others but in my book you don't buy a Corvette to do your grocery shopping. But if you really want to do some shopping, use the fronk.

[@garyt6587]

Thank you for this information ! It was very helpful...

[@forwardfollower2401]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Hate is an overused word in 2022. Your complaints are all legit and have been well documented. The front grill openings are AC components, the radiators are behind them. The rear view camera at night is something I hadn't heard a lot. The seat and cell charger aren't as good as they could be. I have a 1LT and adjust the mirrors very wide. I have had some close calls. Mostly on the driver's side. This is the first car in many years that I love. I also have a problem with the seats. My right hip and back of my thigh begin to hurt after a while. Still playing with that. Get some new wheels and start driving.

[@FindtheRightRoad]

Your correct about the word "Hate". But if I title the video "The 5 things I dislike about my 2023 C8 Corvette" it just does not grab your attention like the word hate does. I guess you can call it "click bait" :)

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@@FindtheRightRoad that and the 50 other "Hate" videos about the things you listed. It's cool. Just nothing new. Now you have to add your "jacking pucks, window tint and engine cover" videos. You can tell your not a kid and know your stuff. Get into the woods and give us something new and interesting.

[@FindtheRightRoad]

@@thereissomecoolstuff The car is my wife's daily driver. So she has to approve any modifications :) I know we will not be adding window tint. Michigan has strict laws about that. I should research the engine covers. We did not order any of the appearance upgrades. I would like to "dress up" the engine bay.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

@@FindtheRightRoad I would do a very lite UV blocking tint including the windshield. Mine broke from a rock and it's $800 to get replaced. The engine compartment isn't a big deal. I'm in Seattle and there are under 50 C8's. Everybody looks at the car not the engine. I thought it would be the opposite. I'm going to get the Z06 "X" brace and that's it back there.

[@ramindavani]

This is why I love my C7 Z06. I would not even think about getting a C8 one day.

[@C8Z51Scott]

You a smart man. I sold my Z06 to purchase a C8 Z51 from March 2022. It has been an awful experience. Glad you kept your C7 Z06. The order process is awful.

[@rafaelbenavente68]

Think positive! the trunk can be your back up oven, for t-giving or x-mass.

[@musiccitybass]

Bought a 2018 Challenger Hellcat widebody 6 months ago love it, keeping it. Going to buy 2023 C8. Was really gonna go C7 Z06.

[@legod1717]

Yes I can see your points about your dislikes. I agree with some of them. (Radiator guards, trunk heat) I really love my C8 and I had a C7 before it. Some of it is getting used to driving a mid engine car. There are certain creature comforts that are not available in a ME car vs a C7. You are also right as no car is perfect but I really like driving my Vette! 👍😎

[@alexchan4424]

1 - Call that an annoyance. It's not the end of the world. 2 - VALID. Terrible blind spots, and non rear visibility at night. I don't want to pull, "a lot of sports cars have poor visibility." Safety matters. 3 - VALID. One of the reasons you pay for 2LT is for the visibility (primary) upgrade, and for the creature comforts. Too bad it doesn't work well. 4 - I don't know.... They did say it was driver focused, the phone is considered a distraction. I guess it depends on the target demographic. If it was supposed to be a dedicated cruiser, then I agree with you. I was told the 1LT was the no-frills track car. So if you are actually tracking the car, then the phone position doesn't matter. I don't use my phone when I drive, and as you said they have Apple Car Play, and Android support; so you shouldn't be touching the phone anyway. Forgetting your phone in the car is an individual problem. Always pat yourself down when leaving the house, car, or public space. 5 - SEMI-VALID. I mean, is it a sports car, are you putting your golf clubs back there, the person who owns this car likely has 2 cars. From a design perspective, that is a decent problem. Overall, I wouldn't say it's terrible. I mean the 911 has really loud back seats because the engine is there. You don't see people complaining about hauling around friends. I think it goes back to the C8 design focus. Is it a track car, or is it a true daily driver? Being based on the 458, I'm going with not a daily driver.

[@jakeclayson7647]

Great points. I have a 2022, and have noticed these same issues. We just put our cold items in the front, and anything else in the back. Overall, Amazing car though! Great video!👍🏼

[@MrGarnettmiller]

I like this video. To the point and very honest.

[@pjcornell9691]

I own a C8. It's my first Corvette. Never been a Corvette guy. I like Your yellow calipers. I have Torch red with red calipers. Since mine is a 1LT without all the extra stuff I dont dislike the items you named. It is a good car for the money. My personal complaint/disappointment is it boring to drive compared to my 2 Dodge Vipers! I like the C8 I have but it drives like a Acura NSX I owned back in the early 2000s. Nice but not as visceral as my Vipers..... Love Your car 🌞

[@paulnewland4409]

I do agree with you on the ventilated seats I was expecting more airflow and it just has not been there I don’t know.. I have a 22 ..2LT I love it but that’s the only thing I can see is a problem with the ventilated seats

5 things I hate about the 2023 C8 Corvette: 1) I hate I don't own one; 2) I hate I don't own one; 3) I hate I don't own one; 4) I haye I dont own one; 5) I hate I don't own one.

[@AudiophileToday]

Nice video. That trunk is a great place to start defrosting that frozen chicken that you picked up late and want for dinner. 😁

[@biffbifford402]

Watched this video so I can take exception to your gripes. But I have to say I agree with the first four wholeheartedly. All of them are legit. I have the HTC convertible so it may be a little bit different, but my trunk doesn’t heat up that much. And I’m only about 10 minutes away from my local grocery store so I can put any frozen goods in the back and not have any problems. But other than that those are definitely legitimate issues this Corvette can improve on.

[@TimTheMusicMan]

These are all valid points. I’m surprised they didn’t think of these things

[@stevennatale4471]

Valid, but, MSRP speaks to why.

[@C8Z51Scott]

Great video. You are right on everything I have seen. I am still waiting for my 2023 C8 and deposited money in 03/2022. My 16’ Z06 had some visibility on the passenger side. That seems to disappear. I did the the 2LT and GT1 seats as well. Just can’t wait until I get mine.

I agree with all you said , if I had to add anything would your forced to touch your frunk with your hands and it’s a bit annoying after I just washed my car and need to put back my sprays in the frunk . Overall of course I love it

[@stevennatale4471]

YES! FRUNK should be "easy close" rear hatch could be "push to close". Better if it were BOTH "easy close"

Reaching for your cellphone from the driver's seat looks akin to wiping one's butt. If you wipe using your right hand.

[@joem7755]

thats an good honest and true list. The concave side mirrors will help out. GM should put the extra protection on the front and it would not cost them much at all to do it. I got mine on order next year.. ahhhh

[@r12rtpilot]

I agree with your list of dislikes, especially the phone charger!

[@86Disab]

I'm waiting on some things to line up, but would be thrilled if this was my first sports car. The 2023 z06 with the z07 aero package would be the only one I'm interested. Instead of a Ferrari I would pick this up just given the bang for buck. The rear view mirror is such a common issue with most modern vehicles. The rear glass on modern vehicles just doesn't offer the same visibility as older vehicles. Likely why rear view cameras are becoming more and more common. Not sure if this has front cameras as well like earlier models offered, but given how wide the vehicle is and low visibility, I'd feel uncomfortable parking without until having ample time to get used to the size and driving a new car. Great choice overall, can't go wrong with a vette. And while I have two kids in diapers, if investments and my wife allow, I'll be having one of these in 2024. Will be turning 38 then and will hopefully avoid any "mid-life crisis" comments haha.. just love cars and have been super practical in life.

[@keithnicholls9069]

I love this car. Best corvette ever. Had a c2 and a c7. This car is so comfortable compared to other generation models. Also handling and performance is amazing. No car is perfect but this car is a blast to drive.

[@hank41652]

I bought a 2022 in December. I just purchased the Scape Armor guards, it's an option from Chevy on the 2023. Still $500 and they should have been there. Same for the side inlets. I got used to the rear visibility fairly quickly, adjusting the side mirrors out a bit further helps a lot. Adjust them so you can't see the side of your car then go a touch more. I'm glad the video mirror is there but I haven't used it much. It takes some getting used to. I like the cell phone charger in the back, phone stays in place, charger works well. I don't play with my phone while driving so no big deal for me. It is; however, a bit hard to retrieve, not a flexible as I used to be ! It's January so no comment on the ventilated seats, guess I'll find out in a few months. It did take a bit to dial in the heat so my feet stayed warm (an old guy thing I guess). I'll also have to see about the trunk heat once it gets warm outside. Not sure how much of a concern that will be for me but I can certainly see it could be an issue. One item I'll add is the cup holder cover latch. I don't normally drive with drinks in the holders but I have on a few occasions accidentally opened the cover by brushing my arm on it. It would be nice if it needed more of a push to open. Thanks for doing this, like you say, no car is perfect but it's good info to help people know more about what they're getting into.

[@hank41652]

A comment update on ventilated seats. They absolutely work. The thing is they are not just ON/OFF but their function is tied to some temperature sensor(s). The heating function is as well. I would ask you dealer to explain.

[@Ccrider363]

I’m thinking of one of these I appreciate the review, wonder if there is fox from gm for the vented seats, lots of comments on you driving your blazer, you probably do as those are nice as well, I would be wishing the charger spot was up front and more convenient as well, infact in that location I bet I’ll lose my phone for a few days. 😂

[@jasonconley771]

Most average people would give an arm and a leg for that car! I know because I am one of them. I have wanted a corvette all my life. So you can probably see how it gets to me a bit when so many people on youtube have the beautiful C8 and complain about every little thing they find wrong with it! I live on a dead fixed income an know I will never have one. I am a disabled vet and 100% total & Permanent. So I can't even try to find supplementary income.

Nice video. I totally agree about the poor seat cooling. I wonder if they need a more powerful fan built into the seat. My 2017 GMC Sierra, those seets do a fantastic job of circulating cool air in the seat. I also wonder why the engineers didn't make the trunk not so prone to archiving such a high temperature. No good for heat sensitive items.

I agree with your complaints and in addition, after driving Tesla's since 2019, I can't get used to the engine and exhaust noise and frequent shifting of the transmission. I'm hoping for a fully electric version of the Corvette which is a divisive topic among enthusiasts.

[@banditdarval9401]

Good call on not having the damn black rims.

[@respekted]

Every car brand, including Porsche have zero protection for their front facing heat exchangers (condenser, oil coolers, radiators). That open mesh you showed provides limited protection. Best thing to do is to attach a fine mesh directly on the radiator. Openings should be larger than a typical bug mesh but with simple zip ties it can attach to the radiator and provide much better protection.

[@femacampetiquettefordummie6979]

That blue is beautiful!

[@djtbs1]

Most of these I knew before I signed on the dotted line. I did a lot of research before I bought my first new car ever. #3 I can't speak to. #1 I agree Chevy should have put grilles there, but it's an easy add that I had done at the dealer before I took delivery. #2, I always have used my side mirrors, and the rearview camera works fine for me at night. Actually during the day glare can be bad leading me to consider tinting the windows. Maybe your angle setting on it's just wrong. #4 - I don't use that pocket. I plug my iPhone inside the console. First off- the music and voice will get better sound through a cable than through bluetooth. This was true on a honda I paired my phone with also (before I had bought my C8), so it's a bluetooth thing, not a corvette thing. #5- They say that trunk is for clubs. I would never have even tried to put groceries in there. Clubs or luggage, that would be it.

(My wife and)…I love this car

[@billmagorian490]

I have a 2019 2lt Grand Sport and what I wish they would have offered is all the collision avoidance features that I have on my 2021 Bolt. Based on your blind spot complaint doesn't Chevrolet offer a compliment of these safety features on the 2023 C8 and if so why didn't you order that package? From the introduction of the C8 in 2020 I saw a storage problem that your heat complaint didn't cover. That is when you have your targa roof stored in that space you lose the only viable storage. Not a big deal when you are traveling close to home but if you are going on a trip and want to travel open air you can't. That's why if I ordered a C8 I would get the power convertible hard top roof. My wife and I did a coast hwy trip from Portland Oregon to the Hearst Castle in our C6 coupe. With soft luggage and careful positioning we were able to enjoy open air riding throughout the journey. It was especially enjoyable on the journey from Carmel to the Hearst Castle. If you live on the west coast and take that ride you will definitely want your top off. It is an unbelievably beautiful ride.

[@azmike3572]

Right--ice cream in the front, take-out pizza in the rear!

[@eyebimm967]

My number one , by far, is the the location of the volume control buttons on the steering wheel! Cheesy, hollowed out plastic that makes no sense. Their location is so counter intuitive I have to believe they were overlooked in the design process. Every other car I’ve owned in the past 12 years has them integrated nicely on the wheel so that my hands don’t have to move to change volume. 🤦

[@TheEmail01]

Very true in all that you say.

[@shralperx]

Regarding the air-cooled ventilated seats-- I agree, you can barely feel the air even on high. And for some strange reason, the air is not cooled as in other cars I've ridden in, even when running the A/C. The 2023 C8 manual even mentions that the air is not cooled. So it helps a bit but not much, especially when it's hot out with the top down.

[@SuperMusicman7]

Which light is high, 1 or 3?

[@shralperx]

@@SuperMusicman7 3 lights on means high. Sadly, you can still barely feel any air compared to the low 1-light setting. Which brings up another small nitpick. I drive with my top off 95% of the time. The lights on the climate control buttons are not really visible in daylight. You must shade the button with your hand to be able to see the lights.

The charger location is probably all about the lack of room under the center console and the dash board. Everything got jammed up front in the design shop. The seats are limited in thickness. They finally put some great seats in those cars, but adding A/C vents takes up a lot of space. I'll bet the vents are a lot smaller diameter than the ones in your SUV. I got a Power Wagon, instead of a Vette, because I live in the country and the roads are terrible. I know this car of yours is one bad motor scooter. Gen 8s all are! Just start tricking it out to fit you. Drive the wheels off and buy some new wheels. You've already solved the grille situation. Look at it as Chevy did a great job, but you just need to tweak it a little. Like telling Enzo Ferrari, "I love the car, but could you put in a cup holder?". Pick your own cup holder. Peace, OUT.

I’m on the waiting list for a 2023 probably 2 months yet. I’ve had 4 vetted with really no issues. My 2021 dodge truck has all the lane changing crap on it and as I get older it’s great. I need my girlfriend in the vette I sold to change lanes to tell me it’s clear. When I try on my own I always end up looking at her nice rack and cut someone off. Maybe I should stick with a new BMW X5 instead of the vette. Not being able to see around the car does suck. Btw mine priced out non zo6 is 98,000. New dodge truck I ordered is the same. All this stuff is crazy in price and then like the one gentleman said they can’t fix it. Thank you all for the info and god bless

EXCELLENT POST, Bro! 😁

[@13salinaspride]

My biggest complaint is vents on the passanger side. I never really have passangers in my vette. I wish I could close the vents so I could get all the ac😂

[@jers132]

Solid comments

[@my3rotts]

what i don't like 1. no adaptive cruise control. 2 no lane mitigation, 3. no alert at sides

[@FindtheRightRoad]

I agree. Surprised it did not come with that technology

[@Jaracanda-eo5qs]

I love your Vette!!!

[@DonRobertson82]

My biggest complaint that keeps me from trading up to the new model… no stick shift option

[@67daltonknox]

Mid-engined cars often have poor rear vision - it goes with the territory. There are probably after market grilles to put right in front of the radiators.

[@FindtheRightRoad]

Yup. I did a video on my channel that covers my radiator guards. We chose the only model that has an official Chevrolet part #

[@rossayoung]

i have heard of rocks going in the side pockets behind the driver doors. then making noises as the rattle in there. Have you had this issue?

[@FindtheRightRoad]

Nope. I have not.

[@jasonray9568]

Well, yes…I thought the same thing…hey buddy…get a grip! You don’t like your new vette?!?!? I have a 2022 3LT, HTC, Z51 C8 and I agree with you 100% on your dislikes. They’re annoying but in all honesty…still love my vette. I’m sure you love yours but yes, these dislikes could have been prevented. Also, I have a high wing on mine so when the top is down, the rear view mirror is useless. Again…I love my dream car and will never sell it. But these items could have been avoided, I think. God speed!

[@my3rotts]

my honda accord touring came with all the bells and whistles but it wasn't a vette

[@marklaechel4537]

The divider between the two front seats. I'd feel claustrophobic wedged in that little cockpit slot like a fighter jet pilot. Older cars have more stretch your legs out room. No man spreading with this one

[@gerrydave7586]

The trunk thing is really like the C7: heat

[@gerrydave7586]

I figured that all along with C7. All the exhaust underneath, especially long drives. No chocolates in your bags🤣

[@classiccarsofnorthtexas6772]

1) the 2LT doesn't have the back up camera on the radio screen? I'd hate that too BUT my 3LT does so non issue. 2) Cell phone charger, the whole point is to keep it out of your hands and thats a great spot for it. I got in mine the other day, my phone connected to Carplay and displayed on the screen. My girlfriend put her phone in the charger. LOL - it played her music play list and it displayed my phones play list. That i didn't like cuz i didn't like her playlist - So all said, some flaws yes but you would shred 90% of the other super cars out there and I wouldn't watch that video. Have a good one -

[@stevennatale4471]

They all have backup cameras, 1, 2, 3 LT's. 1LT does not have the FRONT camera or rearview mirror camera.

[@anvilsvs]

My 15 year old minivan doesn't have any of the problems you complained about. And it's probably quicker on long trips because every time the cop sees an alert he's looking for your C8 running at the speed limit rather than me running 9-10 over in a white van. Having said that, the C8 has got to be a H*11 of a lot more fun. And it will run faster than the 115mph cut off of the van if you're in place where you can use the speed.

[@earllsimmins9373]

Have you passed those tips on to the Chevrolet division of GM

[@joem7755]

Im sure they know and the bean counters laugh ...
