I always buy the last year of the model.
Feels a lot safer and all the kinks are out.
This might be extreme, but first year is extreme as well. Me think.

This is all personal preference.
I would never buy the last year model because it's outdated right away (looks, tech, performance) and then the new model comes out.
I typically like buying the 2nd year model because the car would be fairly new in the market and some issues would've likely been identified & resolved, plus you get some chance to negotiate a better deal.
Others like to buy as soon as the LCI model comes out for obvious reasons.
This time I'm going with the AWD version which will be 2022 (technical 2nd year model) but effectively speaking it is the 1st year model. I'm not waiting any longer so I'll take the risk and pay close to MSRP.
