I've got a 2012 model and have tried the latest cars too - it was very hard to spot the difference. Pedal box has changed but I have a steering wheel spacer to on my car to give more leg/steering wheel room, the steering kickback is actually better on my car than either of the more recent cars I've driven. Overall the way the cars drive and the noises they make don't seem to be any different. Whichever one you go for it will put a smile on your face and you will get a fantastic reaction from other people wherever you go!
