These are all issues they knew about but rushed into production. I am sure they will all be fixed for 2014, but we suffer in the meantime. Price we pay for being first.

Even the simplest car is an extremely complicated machine...you also have to remember the difference between a development vehicle and production. There is a lot of stuff that changes between the development and production stage, and sometimes those changes translate into minor little issues that can be fixed later through warranty work, TSBs, etc. The truth is that when you are in development your sample size is relatively small...when you get out into production, the sample size increases exponentially, and sometimes things happen that you can't see or predict on a small sample size.
