Personally, I would avoid the 2013 MY. They seem to be most prone to issues that were resolved in later years.

Some may be more prone, but I wouldn't avoid the MY as a whole. Most of those issues were found in early production MY'13 models. I don't remember the exact date, but around May or June of 2013 many of those issues were resolved. I have a '13 that was made in July 2013 and haven't had any factory defect issues.
If you find a good deal on a MY'13 made in the 2nd half of the year, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
If you notice any panel fitment/gap/alignment issues that's a good indicator that it was part of the production that had issues.
Unless you really want a new car, definitely go used. These cars are nice a cheap right now, and the money you save will allow you to add some mods for whatever class you're planning to run.
