Wow, that's quite a list, a little depressing to hear all those complaints. Mine, built Sept.2013, is waiting for me at the dealership and I'm told that some, but not all of the 2014 improvements can be retrofitted at some cost. If this was a Ford or Chevy, I would tell the dealer to keep it and I'd order the new version. However; it is basically paid for and I don't want to put my dealer in a bad position as they have been very good to me and, they didn't build or engineer the vehicle. Also, they have made a number of modifications on the cars that have come through them to rectify, at least some of the problems. Any opinions?
The problem with any enthusiast forum Larry, is that people go off at such tangents often firing from the hip.
There are some changes & modifications to the 2014 build cars, maybe not all are entirely necessary or they would be on some form of recall notice, but as you can read on here, all provoke a reaction of some sort.
My advice would be to hold your ground, and select only the modification upgrades you personally feel worthwhile.
Will it change how you feel about your buying experience? Yes, undoubtedly & that's a communications issue. Your contract is with the supplying dealer. It is they who should be leaping up on your behalf in case you do actually cancel your order with them.
Your negotiation skills will come to the fore with your dealer about paying for your chosen upgrades, after all you both stand to lose.
It's a very sad and unsatisfactory situation the way it's been handled.
