The 2013 has a computer that is more work to tune if you're going to do that.

So. Buy a 2012.
As an owner of a 2011 I'd disagree with the assumption that the 2011 has any more issues than '12 or '13 model years.

The 2011 are mid-LCI so n55 and DCT option but not the LCI tail lights. Other than that I've not seen anything suggesting the 2011s are any different/worse/less reliable than other years.
