I would def go with a 2019 or up, due to the mirror upgrade. In my opinion, after you get used to driving with the rear view camera mirror you will notice that it is a great benefit. I use it to check my blind spots often.

As others have said, you cannot fit much in the backseats. Smaller adults yes, but an average male adult would be a very uncomfortable fit.

I have a 2019 Zl1 M6 and love it. Yes the a10 transmission is great and is faster than the manual, but I still get a kick of driving the m6 and would not want to change it. I still drag race it and enjoy it.

Biggest Pet peeve as someone has mentioned earlier. Getting out of the car is a pain in the ass. And I play soccer 3 times a week, so I am not out of shape, but its a workout for sure to hop out. Also the doors open very wide. Have to keep on reminding passengers to watch out for other cars when they open the door haha.

Also the stock tires are pretty good. I switched to the Michelin ps4s, but prefer the Goodyear's over them. I suppose this may be personal opinion depending on people driving style.

The handling of this car is spectacular, you should definitely go test drive one and take a sharp turn. If the sales people allow it.

If you do end up getting it I would recommend getting some PPF film for the front of the car, very susceptible to rock chips. Overall I love the car.

And I can honestly tell everybody they are worthless grip-wise unless all you plan to do is tour and never go past half throttle. They are very comfortable. But in the grip department they're lacking (1/2 throttle and I'm feathering).

Not sure which Continentals you had but your statement is a blanket statement about all Continental tires which is not accurate. The Continental ExtremeContact Sport is one of the best high performance tires you can buy. They are my preferred tire for the money. They give you about 90-95% of the performance of a Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tire for a lower cost. For a street tire, they are outstanding.

100% agree! I have them on my 392 Charger and will get them on the ZL1.

Maybe they ship different Continentals to other countries than we have here. I don’t have a problem with them and if I can get a complete set when I need tires on my ZL1, I will probably get them.
