It is too early to really know. I figure the first 5 years are the honeymoon with a new car. How it behaves over the next 5 is the real indicator of reliability and cost to operate.
The engine seems to be an unknown at this point and both reliability and longevity are to be determined.
My observation after 2 winters is that there wont be much left of the undersides of this car after winter #10. Sound deadening, sealant and coatings were minimized in the quest for low weight. And I DO oil coat the underside.
I would reconsider buying a 2013. There were some niggling issues with the early cars, and if one is on the market so soon, I can't help but wonder if it is not from a fed-up owner. Head over to the warranties section of this board to see what might apply. Do a search for "Crickets" for one of the worst offenders along with bad shifting, direct injector seal failure and slow gearboxes.
I believe that 2014 saw most of the issues resolved.
