I have 2014 model manufactured in August 2013 that I bought new on January 7, 2014. Currently at 51,xxx km (~32,xxx miles). This car is my everything: daily driver, autocrosser, grocery getter, and road tripper. Did a 4000 km (2500 mile) road trip this summer without any mechanical issues.
Issues so far:
- AC condenser replaced under warranty (the part didn't fail; the pulley bracket was damaged somehow. I'm guessing a rodent got under there and chewed on it since my car is parked outside)
- two windshields replaced with insurance deductible due to rock chip/cracking
- shifter rattle at high RPM (plan to replace with TRD Japan short shifter in the future)
- rear deck rattle (haven't attempted any fixes yet)
These are small nuisances to me though. I love this car and have no intention of ever selling it. I want to be one of those guys who bought a car new when they were young and still own it in their senior years...Is 27 still considered young?
