yeah it's just unfortunate that reagan's tax reform act in the 80's
took away the tax deduction too. would have made purchasing a depreciating asset a little more palatable. ohhh well! buy the car ,and drive it into the ground.

26, First car from a passed down '93 Camry, Camry started to have ignition issues and engine stopped in the middle of the road at 180k+ KM, otherwise it was a good ride, very smooth and never really had issues except that one. The other car that appealed to me was the Audi A4, then a friend showed me the GT-86 and really loved the car!

26 in august, waiting for the 14's.

25 when I bought it. Second car I've purchased on my own after my 2010 GTI. Wanted to keep both cars but couldn't really justify having payments on both at the same time so I ended up just selling the VW.

I've owned 4 Subarus and been a fan of the brand for years until their more recent endeavors. They have a long history of iffy first model year runs with big improvements for the 2nd MY.

The wait is killing me, any ideas on when the 2014's will be orderable?

jmaryt · 02-27-2013, 10:49 PM

I just don't get the obsession of this first model year thing. They give you three year bumper to bumper to fix any manufacturer defects. There isn't going to be anything different with the '14 why would they change anything? This car had been in development for YEARS don't you think all the kinks are worked out before production begins.

If you have any understanding on what it takes to develop a car from concept to showroom floor it's ridiculous to redo it after one year or make any significant changes. Recent Civic not withstanding. Honda knew they messed up bad, Toyobaru didn't mess this up and they certainly won't mess it up by messing with it. If you want the car buy it, stop being a poser.

I'm going on 32. And I bought this car because I love cars. you don't buy this car because you think they got the kinks worked out. That's a reason to buy a hybrid, not a sports car. The fact that it could blow up makes it even more exciting! As long as it's under warranty
