But I don't trust anyone :c I'd probably like the 'tail happy' bit better and that it's probably the purest of them as to how the car was originally envisioned but meh. Tcoat and the other's have given me all the answers I needed.

You don't close the thread! It is here for posterity so the next guy that actually wants the info can find it.
Just abandon it and it will fade away. Well eventually, because you are still going to get a bunch of answers that may or may not result in a huge debate! Just ignore it or it gets damned confusing.
Ohhh and the stock 13s and 14s are exactly the same as far as tail happy goes.

Look on the left at my id!
No not a "troll" post. Possibly a debate on what year is better post or a jokes post but not likely a troll one.
The definition of "troll" is to post something in order to create problems or get an emotional response. The debaters get emotional but that is not their aim and the jokers (like me and the gang) just enjoy a good joke. There are of course a few that can be a bit crass but just ignore them.
Just roll with it and all is good in the world.

If you're going to do a lot of mods, depending on your buget I‘d try to get a '13 in good condition.

None so far. Bought it with 4,100mi and am over 12,000mi now. I've driven it in a lot of different scenarios too; 7 hours up to the middle of Michigan a couple times, a full day cruise through Wisconsin with my car club, autocross, and it's been a daily all through this winter. The car is fantastic.

The only things I wish it had, that some other years/models will have, are heated seats and HIDs. Those are both easily available in the aftermarket though.
