2019 purchase
My grandson is interested in buying a new 2019. I have looked on the gmfamilyfirst site and have configured a few options I think will suit him. I've checked out both the 4 cylinder and the 6 cylinder versions, both with the 8spd auto. Not getting too crazy with options I've considered the 3lt with the rs package. Looking at the riverside Blue.
Am I missing any must have items here? This will be his first new car purchase. Thanks

Kind of funny here, I try to get some opinions on options from Camaro owners and the post gets pigeon holed in some stupid price, ordering, tracking, dealer section. NOT HELPFUL ONE IOTA. Whomever stuck this here is a moron. I don't want dealer information, I want owner opinions. Christ Almighty.
How about a bench racing section?

For the record, many have experienced the shuddering problem with the A8 transmission, lots of threads here. Mine works fine, so I can't say more to this, but your grandson may need to do a few dealer visits unless GM did fix it with the new 2019 flush procedure. You'll want to make sure the dealer's service dept is reasonable and competent. Good luck to your grandson, he's in for an awesome treat with this car, it's smile factory left and right

I wouldn't purchase a V6 or T4 new unless it was a convertible that was going to be kept long-term. Depreciation on couples will be a beast as they compete with fleet cars. Buying a used 2-3yo coupe on the other hand may be a great move. I would stay away from the A8: plenty of posts/threads in the problems/issues subforum for why albeit mostly in the v8 cars.

Thanks for the replies.
Exhaust system is duly noted as is the octane rating for the v6. It'll likely be the v6, sure wont be a manual trans though.

I’d be leery about an auto with all the shudder complaints.
Have you thought about a 1LE package 2.0? They got great reviews. Little more aggressive. Little more aggressive in looks department too. Seen a younger guy with a black one that was a 1LE. It was a great looking car. He loved it. You on Yellowbullet by chance 396ssrat? |

Yeah, I agree that it's a problem, not so much the technical aspects (as I'm almost certain the shudder can be fixed with a revised tune) but more so in the way GM have been handling it for years now. Nevertheless, it wasn't a dealbreaker for me, and I think the fat lady hasn't sung yet on this issue.
