Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

GM's decision to stick with the pushrod V8 for the entry-level car is vindicated within a couple of minutes. The steering wheel is probably the squarest fitted to any car since the Austin Allegro and the long dashboard and shallow windscreen angle throw up lots of distracting reflections. Total luggage space is 356 litres, less than a Cayman but still entirely respectable for a car in this segment.

Pros

Powerful V8
Punchy acceleration
Impressive ride quality

Cons

Pricier than the C7
Lack of practicality

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The eighth-generation car is very much like every Corvette ever built, albeit one with its V8 bolted behind the occupants instead of in front. The engine churns with the same sort of power as its predecessor, despite the fact it redlines at a lowly 6,500 rpm. Chevrolet also had the wisdom to offer three different seat designs that will tailor to everyone from fast-food diners to wannabe race car drivers.

Pros

Gorgeous looks
Impressive performance
Comfortable to drive

Cons

No manual transmission
Lack of vision out back

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The new double wishbone suspension system, complete with adaptive dampers on our coupe test model, is hugely impressive. In Tour, it soaks up so many imperfections on the road surface you have to remind yourself you're driving a two-seater sports car, not an executive saloon. While some may bemoan the lack of a manual gearbox, the new eight-speed dual-clutch auto is impressive.

Pros

Gorgeous looks
Powerful V8
Lots of fun to drive

Cons

No manual gearbox
Pricier than rivals
