I toyed with the idea of getting the next gen. Like, reaaaaally thought about it (currently chasing down a P0456 code) and came to a decision: I am sticking with my '13. Here's why.
It's paid off.
All mods I have done are reversible.
I have only 41k miles.
Valve recall was done at 36k and all is good.
Body is in great shape. No accidents but a few scratches and door dings.
Never got condensation in the tail lights.
If I was in a better financial situation, I would keep my 1st gen and buy the 2nd gen. I cant bring myself to trade in my '13 for a '22. I have too much love for her
