It has known frequently reported issues. Best bet is the 2019 of the series.
Not necessarily. I'd argue that the 2017 is more trouble free than the 2014.

Sorry but both of your statements are just not true. 2014 has been documented in so many automotive magazines and talked about over and over on so many automotive shows, to be the most reliable year...actually I can't remember a time when anyone ever challenged that...except you.
If given a choice I'd go for the C7 2019 EVERY TIME! Not sure what's so difficult to understand about that.

I agree with this point of view! In my experience with automobiles over the years the last run of a Generation tends to be most reliable since they've had time to work out most kinks. Admittedly not always the case...

There is at least one issue that hits some owners. The 2014s have an issue where the cooling fan will stop functioning which will cause the car to overheat in traffic. The quick solution is to turn the engine off and back on and that usually starts the fan operating again. After that, it might be months before the fault occurs again. The permanent solution is to upgrade to the 2015 Z06 600-watt fan which is a GMPP performance part for the 2014 cars.

The M7 only uses 4 cylinders when put into Eco mode. For the automatics you need this: https://www.rangetechnology.com/
