Hey y'all! I am a Yota girl, I come from the off-road world (I have a jacked up, blacked out FJ, aka the love of my life), and have always wanted to add a sports car to my fleet. So...I've settled on a used FR-S. With that said, I'm now looking at what's out there, and wanted to get some advice.

-2014 vs 2013: In your opinion, is it worth it to pay a couple $K extra to get a 2014 vs. 2013? I've heard the 2013's have a couple issues, so is the 2014 far more solid and worth the extra $ to potentially avoid little problems? Or not so much?

-Mileage: I'm looking probably between 50-75K. Is there anything that typically needs to be replaced within that mileage range? I drive well below 5K a year, and spread between 2 vehicles, so it's going to take me several years to get to 100K, regardless.

Thanks in advance for your opinions!
