What We Learned After Testing a Chevy C8 Corvette Over 40,000 Miles | Car and Driver

This (long-term, daily, multi-season driven) kind of review is seriously needed for anyone seriously considering a relatively expensive car. Most of us make other sacrifices in order to afford purchase. We can’t afford to be surprised by lack of reliability, expensive repairs or very high maintenance costs. Thank you.

I am now over 58,000 miles and still drive like a charm. Love this C8...

This car is basically a Ferrari in performance that sells at 70% off and doesn't hit you with a 5-figure bill for an annual service. That's a hell of a sports car.

This guy is good we need more videos of him.

Really impressed with the longevity test results, glad Chevy was able to deliver such a high quality car. Also very impressed with the thoroughness of this video. Cheers!

I see Carlos, I click!

Love the long-term, real world tests. I can't imagine the costs with a Ferrari or Lamborghini but probably 8X cost for service.

One thing that has always been a Corvette product objective has been daily usability. Except for versions or options that are high-performance oriented (specially tires), any Vette was able to handle a Michigan winter and trips to the store. As far as GM is concerned, it's still a Chevy. Given this version's world-beating performance envelope, though, it's a actual miracle! This is what happens when GM puts their best on the job. Thanks for these in-depth reviews, Carlos. This kind of info is the most valuable of all.

I have #849 for 2021 . It's a yellow HTC , 2lt , with mag ride and front lift . I have the performance exhaust. I love my car. I live in arkansas . I have had no issues with my car . I took it form my home outside of Little Rock to Branson Missouri . I got an average of 30 mpg the whole trip . I have nothing bad to say about my car.

Now THIS is a car review. I mean he gives you so much without ever over doing it

I absolutely love my c8. Best money I ever spent. I have had it since july '21 and I still love it and get as excited to drive it as I did the first day! Very comprehensive and well done review.

Well done, C&D crew. I had fears that the new C8 would be a problem child from the get-go because of how much was new but thankfully (at least in this case) that doesn't seem to be true.

This fellow is fabulous -- liked his Z06 review too. Clear, precise, great delivery. A modern rendition of Csaba Csere and Pat Bedard.

Great review by car and driver. Thank you Carlos. Im two years and 20k in on a c8 z51 and your insights are right on

What a pleasure to see your review, Carlos. you have a very balanced and subtly humorous delivery that impressed me back in 2015 when you reviewed the sublime green challenger hellcat. Three hellcats later I finally have parted company with Dodge opting rather for the ram TRX. I really value these videos you put out. It gives me an appreciation for other vehicles when I see them.

9:46--Just one of many camera angles that really capture the interesting styling of the Stingray in a way I just don't recall before this. Well done, C&D and excellent commentary and review by Carlos.

I was wondering where you landed, Carlos! You deserve your own show once more, my man. Fantastic review of a fantastic car!

I love the "wall of HVAC" I think it was pretty genius. Favorite part about the interior.

Thank you for a very comprehensive review. As someone who will probably never own one of these, but nonetheless an automotive enthusiast - it's great to see that the C8 delivers on it's promise so well. We all kind of held our collective breath when it was known that Corvette was going mid-engine. Then we relaxed and even cheered a little at introduction. Good to see that there is real substance behind the flash. Corvette can go out and play with all of the yerrupeon exoticars that cost at least four times as much and deliver much the same performance at a price point that really embarrasses them all. Very cool!

Man, this guy's a great presenter. Also, these long term style videos are the ones I prefer to watch.
