There are teething problems in most new designs. My father told me NEVER buy the 1st year of any new model.
True, there are usually a few issues in most 1st year models. I was also told too not to buy the first year or at least until you know what the first year issues are. I only bought a first year model once. It was reliable. The only issue was some type of electrical problem in the circuit where the idiot lights would blink off and on. I took it to a mechanic and they found nothing wrong mechanically. Just decided to disconnect the light so it wouldn't be annoying since it wasn't helping me anyway. I always make sure to check fluids often and listen to the car to tell me if something is wrong.
