2019 has the polarizing front end (unless you go with a black car, then it looks no different).

Personally, I would look for one that hasn't been modded at all mechanically. The fewer owners, the better. And check various little things like what tires are on it, their age and wear, whether tires are the correct size, brake life remaining, what OEM parts have been changed (like wheels), curb rash, what battery is installed and its age, etc.

2019 has that sweet flowtie in the bumper bar.
Also 2019+ has the launch control that you can change the launch rpm. 2016-18 its a set number.
