There were so many more 2008's produced than later cars, if purchase price is a consideration.

2 almost brand new 2014s were sold 5 hours away from me in Canada (White and USB). When I was shopping out the door price was from $42 to $45 USD (depending on exchange rate) + 2.5% import fee

$42k for a almost brand new 2014 seems suspiciously low. So does $45k.

It's not low, that's what the exchange rate was/is. Cars in Canada are cheaper when converted to USD

For those missing bluetooth streaming, this is an easy addition using the parts in my signature.

Not having LED headlights are a bummer, but finding a good ISF proved harder than I initially thought. I set out for a 2011 and ended up with an 08. No regrets, car is outstanding.

this was the exact mindset i had as well. didn't like 2011+ tach but wanted lsd, but couldn't find any 2010 so i settled with a 2008. I'm still happy with my decision

I'm a sucker for a big tach and shift lights so I went with an '11. I will say though, the dual dials keep a classy look!

Perhaps, but the BIG tach and digital readout give the racecar feel. Still, to each, their own.

Yeah I have a bluetooth transmitter plugged into my aux port now to get rid of the aux cable/loop isolate.
