I personally however agree that early 13s should remain a last choice not a first. They may all be fine at this point and there are many, many people driving them that never saw any of the problems but like any first production runs of a vehicle there is an increased risk of something going wrong. Not saying that anything will but simply that increased risk is not acceptable to me.

As I said, my car still had the original CALID when I got it in October 2017. It had the idle stability problems and stalled when coming to a stop a few times which prompted me to research. It was then that I found threads about the DI seal problems along with the idle TSB. I read where people had difficulty getting dealers to actually flash it which lead me to a Tactrix cable. I like tools so it didn't take much to make up my mind anyways.
If you have a 2013 that was babied (how would you ever know) and/or had the CALID updated early on then it would probably be fine. The DI seal problem is only really an issue when shifting at redline. I believe my car was babied so it's probably fine. Regardless, if your in the market today I still stand by my advice to avoid 2013. Just not worth the risk.
