notable changes:

09 -- interior headunit changes to black from gray; gray/silver trim changes to black
10 -- real torsen lsd, new "flower" rims
11 -- full suspension revision, new yellowish LED headlights, new tachometer, alcantara/leather seats
12 -- more suspension revision, newer bluish LED lights, new rims
13 -- more suspension revision??
*interior colors vary by year (red offered in 2011+)

For the money and car, I'd get an '11+
Or get a more affordable 08/09 and modify it to squeeze the potential out

which part of PA are you from?

Agreed with above; I would get a '11+ if I had the chance for all the extra tweaks.

If you have the money, get a 2014 for even more goodies.

I test drove both the 08 and 11 when I went to purchase my ISF.

Get an 11+ much smoother ride and tighter suspension

Really poor taste to greet the new member and then turn right around and blast them in the very next sentence.

I've been a member for a few years and a new F owner, and I appreciate the OP's question and everyone's responses. I know how to use the search function, but had not thought to even ask that question, so I'm glad someone did ask it. I for one appreciate the info.

I agree. And I've never understood why someone would waste their time to post "use the search function" lol.
