Grab a '13 now, or wait for a '14?

I want to say thank you for the awesome retort, instead of escalating, you responded with good humor. You sir, are a worthy poster.

WSU cheese is amazing!

Damn, I want some cheese now.

But would you get the '13 aged cheese or would you wait for a '14 ripened block?

I test drove a Ram with one, and I didn't really like it, but my brother has one in his FJ Cruiser, and it does have its uses. Especially gauging when you're backing into a space.

20+ years that I've been driving and I've never hit anything while reversing.

OP was the first time I heard anyone suggesting a change in injectors. (Aside from rumors)

Subaru is using their own injectors on the motor for the Forrester (might be where salesman got the idea? or he's full of b.s.) and likely all future applications but the FRS/BRZ shouldn't change significantly in the near future.

Adding a reverse camera to the BRZ is a $130 DIY (should be similar to the FR-S with a supported HU):

So it seems sort of a poor reason to hold off for 7months waiting to see if the '14 version of the car will have it...

Grab a '16 just to be safe.

Oh oh no! Grab the '17 just to be safe.

NOOOOOOOO Grab the '18 to be super safe!

WAIT FOR THE FUCKING SUPRA.

NO NO NO WAIT FOR THE NSX.

I would like a front camera as well so I don't whack my front lip when parking.

You're making the fatal assumption that everyone else drives as well as you.

-Never locked your keys in the car? There's still a key chime.
-Never left the lights on? Still a light chime.
-Never been in an accident? Still air bags.
-Never drink in the car? Still cupholders.

I could go on. You don't count on these things happening, that's why there are mandated devices to take care of these things.

OP Posted in the FR-S forums, so I'm assuming he wants an FR-S. BeSpoke is garbage at the moment, and a new head unit with support for a backup camera is also something to look forward to.

OP asked the question, but I think it's fair to give him insight. Obviously he's on the edge, and perhaps one of these features is something he wouldn't mind waiting for.

why not wait till the car becomes a classic, just like the AE86, 30 years down the road, you can get it modified, it will pass emissions anywhere and u can import a rhd GT86 from japan!!!! brah!!!!!

Uh, if the 2015 has a flux capacitor, then you don't have to wait for anything, ever!

I'm told all current '13 models have different injectors, and upgraded ECU settings/capabilities to counter the issues in the first few months of release.

can anyone verify that? (it's coming from a sales rep). Would you wait for a 2014?

Are you picking up another one? I thought you just got rid of yours not too long ago..

Besides, my impression is that people who bought their cars after summer 2012 generally aren't experiencing the typical problems we saw when the cars first came out (chirping, trunk won't open, etc). Of course it's gonna seem bad when you come to this forum and read the issues section, but in reality I believe that only something like 5% of owners were experiencing issues, iirc.

I got mine in Feb of 2013. I don't have the condensation problem in the taillights. I read somewhere here about misalignment of the body parts/panels, which I don't seem to have. My trunk has been working fine, and I don't think I have the chirping, but then again I'm not 100% sure what the chirping is supposed to sound like (400 miles now). My pops however keeps complaining that there is a weird sound coming from the engine bay and that it is louder than it should be. He's also used to driving oldsmobiles, buicks, and currently driving a camry so he may not be used to an engine of this class.
