Build Quality Analysis On One Of The Worst Reviewed Cars Of All Time - Vinfast VF8

[@hopdenreview]

This car is not for people who always demand perfection, but if you are a simple person and need a car that serves all needs well, it can meet well. It needs further improvement but needs wise people like you to contribute ideas. respect and hope all the best comes to you, there are many people out there who haven't tested it yet but have negative opinions for some political reason

As usual, a super detailed appraisal, much appreciated. After watching Francie’s videos about the car, I went and test drove one, and placed a deposit. You guys can be pretty harsh, and I can’t say you are wrong. Where I would take issue is first, the styling. You guys (and every other reviewer) see the styling as bland. Maybe it seems bland compared to cars you review, but to me, it seems understated and classy. I find the Hyundai and Kia EV styling to be awkward, it’s like those cars want to be sure everyone knows they are an EV. I prefer the German EV approach, more mainstream. One thing not mentioned, the taillights on the VinFast are vaguely MustangE like. When I mentioned that to the salesman, he told me “VinFast had that taillight design before the MustangE.” Ok, not quite. By the way, that green color is called “Deep Ocean.” It’s beautiful in person, that’s the color I ordered. It’s my opinion that most of the things you complain about are addressed by the Plus trim I ordered. The seats are different (perforated heated and cooled, both front and rear) a large skylight that fully opens over both seats, an electric rear hatch with hands free (foot wave to open) and a more two toned interior which is more visually appealing. The Plus also has more horsepower, and larger wheels. (And 20 miles less EPA range.) My wife and I own four ICE cars, all between 2009-2016. A Mini, A Camaro, A Buick Enclave, and an Acura MDX. Both of us were super impressed by the VinFast interior. I suppose even a premium SUV like our 8 year old Acura compares poorly to most 2024 models. So basically, I’ll be leasing a VinFast because of the coverage on your channel. I hope to really like it as much as Francie does, and not be disappointed as much in the details as Kyle is.

Believe me, most of VF8 owners in Cali, Canada loves it. Own it and drive it and you can feel it clearly. They are reviewing the very first version of VF8. 2024 VF8 Plus, totally nicer.

your comment is very accurate

[@meandmyEV]

Very good comment. I was once a coach and the staff and I chose to put our team in a better league even though we knew we were going to struggle. We knew the competition would make our team better and we were right. I am very impressed with how Vinfast has taken the criticism of their car and software and made a real effort to fix it. Vinfast's only real mistake was releasing the car too quickly. Go back and look at some articles and videos from when the Model S came out in 2013. Tesla had similar problems at first.

[@888Peetah]

In a way, it's worked out well for Vinfast to get all those initial biased and unfair criticisms (attacks) because it helped them get the needed attention even though negative. In a way, it's backfired, leading some people to start wondering if the criticisms were fair and balanced. Not a perfect car but worst car? Hmmm....I don't think so.... Many Americans' still have a 70/80's perception of Vietnam.

And like 50% of Samsung phones are made in Vietnam for a decade with Vietnam being Samsung's largest industrial base with a large RD&D bas. Samsung appliances and also LG's appliances are made in Vietnam for years and increasing. And increasingly FoxConn and Luxshare has a huge presence in Vietnam with Apple related products including the watch. Semiconductors are increasingly in Vietnam now. The Vietnam today is not like how people assume to be about war and poverty as being portrayed. Vietnam exports over 365 billion USD last year alone, making it one of Asia's top exporting countries. It's true that their economy is still largely dependent on foreign investment.

The VF8 is a car that delivers impressive performance. The 2024 design is significantly more refined compared to the 2023 model. Moreover, the updated suspension system and software ensure minimal minor issues. Most notably, VinFast excels in after-sales service. As a proud owner of a 2024 VF8 in Vietnam, I must say it is truly exceptional.

Vinfast applied the most up to date tech. When reseach more not only about the paint, the body really strong like a "tank" some crashes with other car and even trailer. It is still safe. It is a Volvo level or more, this is not a joke. That is why it is super heavy compare to the others

[@baovirus]

It's bad reviewed because the vietnamese american say bad things on it and everyone think roasting this car is a trend. Those V-A are used to be South Vietnamese, who left their country after Vietnam war 1975 and never stop trying to sabotage the current communist regime in Vietnam. The car having many issue, yes, but they do heard the customers feedback and improved the product in few months. It's more worth to spend ~50k now The VF9 is even more better. Their build quality is decent, the fact that I've seen many car crash in Vietnam and the car that hit the vinfast is almost got destroy, but the vf itself only take damage on the front (or the back). I have never seen any vf car that was damaged inside in a car crash

I think it is a fine car a certain price point but not the price point they want to charge for it undercut other ev's and was a cheaper price I think it would sell better they are trying to sell the vehicle at a higher price when you can get a competitors car at the same price and get better features I think if they go and create a low cost ev people will forgive the issues of the vehicle and it will sell better but with how much they want to sell this vehicle for is way too high

I don't know what problem the US Americans have with the car, but here in Germany where I live, the comments and tests are not political but technical and factual. Vinfast will never be better, not even equal to BMW, Audi, Volkswagen or Mercedes. I have been walking past the Vinfast showroom in Hamburg more than for 2 years because it is in the same office building as my office and there is never a customer there. And at €60,000 it's not even that cheap, it's going to be a real challenge to become something in Europe. And for €60,000 there's already a lot of choice in Germany in this segment. I'm an Audi Q8-tron driver.

Vinfast is NOT the only automaker who goes cheap on rear seats. Cadillac is worse - go sit in the $80k Cadillac Lyriq. The Lyiq's rear seat is WORSE THAN the VF8 - thin bench seat that is hard on your lower back. The part that is right on your lower back is weird.
