Are you stupid, you just bought a car, getting rid of it with 33k miles, it’s just broken in. Keep the 2014, there is not a significant difference in the 2020 to be worth the difference. Honestly I prefer the pre refresh 2013-2015 f-sport bumper over the alien looking 2016+.
Apple CarPlay/android auto can be added to get the latest tech infotainment wise. Other than extra safety systems a lot has not changed. You basically buying the same car with lipstick. Your better off putting some of that money into mods to make you car more unique.

I agree and it is a great car.
So I’ve decided to keep the 14.
The cost is an issue but it’s manageable.
I did find that mine has the brake squeal so I’m going to have to look into what brake setup. I see everyone recommends oem vs others. I have used EBC before on my Infiniti g37xs and my sti but I definitely want to keep the brakes from making noise.
I had the fuel pump recall done. Never drove it before the recall so not sure if it’s much different. In eco I do notice that you have to get on the pedal for it to add any spirit to the drive. In sport or s+ it’s a champion.
Anything else I should look out for on the car? I looked at the service records and the original owner babied the car. It was sold into a dealer two years ago and only got 2600 miles in those two years. I’m keeping an eye on the battery and have a battery tender I’ve plugged into it.

I would have thought you'd make this decision prior to the purchase to check on all options. If you are not losing a dime on your 2014 purchase and money is not an issue then why not? I'd consider it.
I purchased my 2015 rwd two years ago at 45k miles and now have close to 90k. Great car, practically runs like new minus the break squeal. I do wish I had a bit more power but hey I'm not exactly racing hard on the freeways at this day and age. I would have liked the LSS package but all good.
