Either get one that is new enough to not be affected by the cylinder head crack issue, one that’s had it fixed, or one that’s cheap enough that you can cover it when it blows.

Otherwise, I went Grand Touring + Tech Package over the Signature on my ‘18 and have never felt like I was missing out.

That said, I would very much like to have the 360 cam, folding mirrors, and ventilated seats from later models.
