I'd like to just say that this helped a lot in narrowing my search down to the right MY for me. Someone linked it to me a few weeks back so it must've been right after you made it. Great video!!!

I think the mods seriously need to consider making a sticky for this subject. I don't know about anyone else but gets old seeing this thread on weekly basis. Why we have a sticky thread for doing trans fluid but not something simple like the differences between MY is beyond me... Hell sticky Tammers video...

+1 on that. Since I asked this same question about 2-3 weeks ago I've seen the same topic about 4-5 times

There was a man at the dealership here in Durham on Saturday who was looking for one as I was chatting with another salesman nearby. I offered him a free ride in a 2013 but he didn't stick around until my car was out of the service bay.

Dealer has a White on Black (2011?) it was gone very quickly.

take the plunge good luck finding a usb isf, do u have a preference on which white if a usb isf doesnt pop up for sale? sfp or uw?
to me the sfp has more of a 'pearl' shine to it, while the uw is alittle more whiter.
uw i think only comes in 13 and 14's

I found a USB ISF. Found it at a carmax in san diego. They are shipping it over to ontario and i will go see it and drive it as soon as they call me when it gets their. By looking at the pics, i can see that drivers door panel is scrapped at the top or melting. Dont know about the dash. And saw that its missing the engine cover. Hope the outside of the vehicle looks good and is not dingged or repainted. Thay are asking 27 for it.it has 89k miles on it.

What year?

Unless it's a smoking deal, I'd stay away. Typically when cars have little things wrong (i.e. missing engine cover), it's a good sign other maintenance has been neglected. I wouldn't want to get a car like this with that many miles on it, unless it's been maintained well.

Don't buy the first car you see, that's the first thing I tell folks. Shop around.

What year to get? well depends on your budget. I would say shoot for a 2011+ but you can always find a clean 2010 and add your own mods to it if you wanted.
