i don't really know where the idea comes to mind that the service interval is questionable.
granted, i change my oil around 5k miles, but i readily admit that it's always been more for my peace of mind than any factual/mechanical reason.
i think getting a 2015+ model is a good idea, as it gets past the new platform teething issues that occurred, and takes advantage of some of the incremental improvements that were made. but by no means do i consider any '13-14 unreliable by itself. i would absolutely recommend a properly-serviced '13 over a non-serviced '18 with the same mileage/condition.
