Top Comments of this video!! :3
As someone who's been driving a base model car from 2010 for the past 12 years, I have a very different perspective. I was very impressed with this car most of the way through the video. Almost every complaint he has either didn't register to me as a problem at all or I just don't care about. Plastic panels? My car has worse. Gotta press a button to unlock? Honestly that's how I prefer it. Heated and ventilated seats in front and back is awesome, you almost never see that. A terrible UI in the car? It has Android Auto, and a backup camera, so it's already a massive upgrade over what I got.
Honestly this video sold me on this car as a good budget option, with no real significant downsides (for me), until he said it cost $50,000. I was assuming this was a budget car so it was more affordable. Suddenly those minor nitpicks and complaints seem more reasonable for such an expensive car.

I got a 2023 vinfast vf8 plus on dec 26 of last year. I can say the software is a bit buggy but this car isnt as bad as most yt reviewers put it out to be. Its been 4 months now and we are quite happy with it, other than the software where we update it at the dealer every 3 months to keep it work most efficient. There is a 10 years warranty so i trust. Definitely worth 65k canadian dollars.

Current owner of 2 VF8 here in SoCal. Picked up my SDI Plus a year ago and CATL Plus 2 months ago.
At 2:30: with key fob near you, you can kick to open trunk for Plus trim. Or select trunk in the car buddy on infotainment to open trunk.
At 7:27: to unlock car without key fob, you can press that small black button on door handle. Coming from Subaru with keyless entry, i had to get used to clicking that button.
At 9:58: you could drive without seatbelt if you release e-brake underneath the steering column.
Agree on fps for camera.
VF doesnt have auto hold. It only has hill assist. To activate, you gotta slam on the brake hard so it holds vehicle for a few secs before you switch your foot from brake to accelerator. Again, i was spoiled w Subaruās auto hold and was something i had to get used to in vf8.
I took delivery of 2nd VF8 due to their promotion of $300/month for Plus trim for 36 months. The residual value to pay out at the end is cheap enough that makes the 2023 Plus just shy of $40k.
Being the new kid on the block, VF has tried really hard to please customers. In California, their call center is 24/7, so i call to report problems any time of the day.
They then send tech to my house/work, drop off loaner and drive my car to service center. After service is done, tech comes out to my work/house to pick up loaner and drop off my car. This level of service is top-notch for me.
I have videos on my channel of some of my road trips. I have driven to Scottsdale az, las vegas, big bear and NorCal between my 2 VF8s.

I've actually driven this car, unlike most of the commenters who I suspect are regurgitating other content creators' opinions, and I gotta agree with you. No, it's not exceptional in any sense of the word, but it's... fine. Certainly it's not the utter disaster some commenters seem to believe it is, at least. It's a mediocre transportation appliance whose biggest flaw is the asking price relative to the competition-- at $30-35k it would actually measure up. But if I bought (or more likely, leased) this car and gave it to my mom to replace her aging CRV, she would drive it without complaint, with the one wildcard being reliability of course.

that fan blowing might be a feature some cars have of blowing air through the vents after you lock your car, to prevent moisture and any growth. my new hyundai has it too, sometimes i come back into the car after a quick errand and the fans are still going. vinfast is from vietnam where itās pretty humid so it might be that!

Marques, what you just complained about was a lack of "Hill Assist", not bad "Creep Mode"
All creep mode means is the car moves slowly without you needing to press the gas pedal, not that it will stop your car from free-rolling on hills.

> The Vinfast VF8 is.... trying "trying" can mean "making an attempt"... but it can also mean "testing one's patience"
