Hi everyone,

I wanted to be part of the family since this current generation has been released, but I couldn't afford a new one. I wanted to get a 2014 one because of the 8 speed transmission, but I found a really good GS 2013 F-sport for 40000$ with 13000 mile on it.

My question is: should I go for the 2013 model, or should I wait and keep searching for 2014? does the 2013 has more problems than 2014 ??

Thanks in advance

I have a 2013 theres minor differences like power trunk, power folding mirrors and the 8sp. But if you dont care about all that crap get a 2013.

I would say the opposite. I hate 8spd tranny. I think 2013 sits lower. 2014 has a few cool features like filding mirrors.

I really wish there was a car site that listed every model year change for cars.

I think the Enform system is more advanced in the 2014 as well. Not sure what the difference is. I have a 2013 and I love it.

I think the 2015 gets double paned glass windshield for more sound insulation.

From my experience, don't buy first production year.

Yeah, I am concerned about quality compared to 2014 model

My 2013 had lots of rattles and stuff. Just picked up a 2015 and everything seems more refined. No rattles yet...

It does? I thought the AWD was higher and the RWD was lower, regardless of year.

I'm seriously considering upgrading/trading-up to a 2015. The NAV looks a lot better and the color combos are enticing.

2013 to a 2014? Besides the folding mirrors, I don't think it's worth the trouble.

Yea for u all with 2013 and want to upgrade, just hold off for 1 more year and get the refreshed 2016 MY, I'm sure it's even more refined. It's only a year, u can do it.

When I have the whole family in my '13 I get the "Family Flush" with the wheel wells.

Free coilovers.

I think coilovers would actually be cheaper!
