don't buy a used car unless you are definitely getting deployed in the next 6-12 months. Yes 1st year cars have hiccups, but not EVERY single one produced will have the same issues. I had a first year mazda 3 hatch and besides replacing a bad strut under WARRANTY, and the usual wear and tear, headlight bulbs, and oil changes, car still runs fine, never broken down, shifts smooth.
My point is new 1st model cars aren't as much a roll of the dice as a used car. And if something does hiccup, thats what the WARRANTY IS FOR!!
