Had 2 accidents totalling 13 gs. Priced too high. Nice vehicle. Just didn't fit my liking. Sep 07, 2025

It is definitely a good value. Actually purchased one with less mileage on the odometer and without any accident history. It’s a unique design that I’m looking forward to pushing its limits. Not as quick or flashy as my C7 which is really a track worthy monster, but this should be a fun car to use as a daily driver. May 22, 2025
