Nope I love my 13 with 4,500 miles. I personally don't like the change on the front and back ends on the 14+

Completely agree. The EPS in our Honda is so numb, there is zero feedback.

The '14-'15's look much better. The front grill became sleeker and the tail lights/rear bumper made the car look wider and lower which was a good thing. Also, the tail lights more closely followed the three segment design theme of the original '69 of which the car was modeled from. It's a win win.

You're in the minority as usual.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. This is a sports car. I didn't want all the bells and whistles (though a 2ss was non-negotiable). It needed to be fast and pretty, which it is.

I plan to keep mine long-term, and I figured the less stuff crammed into it, the less things I have problems with 20+ years from now.

I can see how the mylink and backup cam is damn nice though. This thing is a royal pain to back into anywhere!

I agree completely, never understood everyone's fascination with the squared taillights of the '10 to '13. Must be a generational thing. Absolutely love the taillights of the '14 and '15, foglights are a win in my book too.

I'll take a gen 5 any year over a gen 6. Tail light preference for a gen 5 is a small disagreement for me when comparing the entire 6 gen car. And if you like simplicity and the pure driving experience, it's hard to beat the Z/28.

When did backup camera come in? I have a late 2010 with sensors but no camera. I hate the lack of a camera.

Actually '12's had the camera option viewed from the rear view mirror, lots of folks retrofit the 10's over to this, kit is less than $500. I would go with an aftermarket stereo system with touch screen that includes camera for around a grand...

I agree my other 2 vehicles have all the current tech...its nice to get into a car that's simplified. I don't need the same stuff in my Camaro as my other rides because I don't drive it daily. The 14 refresh was ok....but I like the look of the pre refresh. From what I've seen posted over the years the 10 to 13 still seems to be the favourite look......4 years later and people still post how they can't stand the 14 tailights.
