I just purchased a pre-owned 2012 MCS (auto) for my daughter (which I get to babysit while she is away at school!) with 5k on the odometer (previous owner's wife got pregnant), turns-in like a go-cart, has plenty of power and it is a total blast to drive.
I'll be changing the oil every 7500 miles (instead of the recommended 15k) and I will most likely shop for an extended warranty.
Lots of good people and info at:
