I owned a 63 plate auto pre facelift.
I bought it new and owned it for 18 months. I didn't have any issues with it during my ownership.
They changed them slightly in July 2013. Earlier models had a pneumatic wastegate and models built after July 2013 come with a electronic wastegate. I think they changed the turbo inlet size at the same time.
Ideally, you want a car built after July 2013. Also, launch control is only available on cars built after July 2013. To be fair launch control doesn't work well at all but it's a good way to identify if the car was built after July 2013.
2014 cars came with a much nicer steering wheel. The original steering wheel looks ugly and dated.the
If the car doesn't have pro nav, ideally get one with the black panel display. It's a small coloured display at the bottom of the dials. It looks awful with it.
