Recalls & safety

Recall history hasn't been loaded for this model year yet.

Whether a recall is still open on a specific car depends on its VIN. Check it free at NHTSA's VIN lookup (nhtsa.gov/recalls), or ask the seller for proof the repair was done.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Composed, reasonably comfortable ride for a sports coupe
  • Excellent handling and steering response from the Alpha platform; among the best-driving modern pony cars
  • Wide, strong engine range from an efficient turbo-four to muscular V6 and V8 SS/ZL1 power, with strong performance-per-dollar used

Cons

  • Interior materials and some controls feel low-rent for the price
  • Discontinued after the 2024 model year with no direct successor yet
  • Cramped, hard-to-access rear seat best left to small children or cargo
  • Small trunk with a narrow opening and high liftover, the tightest cargo space in the segment
  • Poor outward visibility: a high beltline and small windows create large blind spots
