corvette unique features
Was watching a You Tube Review today.
Has anyone mentioned that the Corvetter while having two seats, it actually has three heated seat controls? One for the driver and two for the passenger. Same with temp for HVAC. Is this not the wildest thing ever?
also, there is a lifetime rev feature that tells you have many revs the Corvette has had over the life of the model.

Check pages 62 and 63 of the 2018 Corvette Owners' Manual. That will explain it in detail. The passenger has a choice of buttons or touch-screen adjustments.

Doug DeMuro he’s kind of offbeat but I like the details he uncovers.
Saw this on the Camero see is also on the Corvette. No lift shift. IOW if you keep your gas foot flat to the floor you can engage the clutch and shift to next higher gear. Not sure if I’d be able to unlearn how to shift, but it’s something I have never seen before on a car

Thanks. That is the one. Appreciate you posting it.
The reviewer is ok. Not the greatest but he does find some stuff in cars that is pretty cool. The VW Phaeton was very interesting

Doug does get a bit less credible when he’s driving the car, he really is not anything for a test drive other than a Sunday drive, he’s better in the introduction little details. One good one, he drove a Hellcat and just stepped on it going straight line and almost lost control.
For test drives Chris Harris is my favorite, and others but Chris Harris knows how to drive. Doug is just some guy with no skill whatsoever driving.
4:30 mark. I’m not saying that I’m any better driver than Doug but he’s really just a regular guy skill

Its it’s funny he did a test of the S2000 a car I owned for 6 years. One thing he likes pointing out the little quirks and what not but he missed the ‘secret’ storage compartment behind the seats. I bet some owners of the car don’t even know about it. He really didn’t do it much favors on the test drive, he’s more about show and less about go but that’s fine.

Yeah, surprisingly I get bored of Chris Harris pretty quickly. I think what makes Doug's videos interesting is the level of detail he goes into with the "quirks and features". The driving section is pretty lackluster - usually only one camera angle and inconsistent evaluation, but his reaction faces are funny I guess?

Doug has no credibility. Kinda annoying and once the test drive starts, it’s a pointless. I just seeing. Some of the features he discovers that most people would never get a chance. Like how often does one get to go over and over a Corvette or old cars like the Phaeton
I will give Chris Harris a look.
Plus he also has a written review that he does.
His formula is more for the general public with emphasis on entertainment value with facts/info thrown in.
He does a lot of unique cars that most mainstream reviewers would never touch.
Savagegeese is very good from video quality and provides good feedback on how the car feels to drive.
He is very negative to German brands though and pays way too much attention to reliability on brand new cars.
Chris Harris is one of the best.
Randy Pobst is also really good.

Ok. I will take a look at the other guys. Didn’t know he writes a review as well. Thanks.
