many reason listed above so you/your brother will have to go by what looks more appealing to you.
Obviously 2014 will have some different options from 11-12. Mainly to me what i find attractive in the 14's are track apps in the dashboard and rear tails.
On my 2011 i have tails from 2014 and i am super happy with how the car looks. Really there is only 2 options i wish i had 1) Recaro seats, 2) Track apps for the cool factor. Most users don't really use them so they just look cool.
The only thing about my car that bugs me (although i like the looks and it still looks modern) is the year, however since 2015 model is completely a different looking car i think 2011-2014 will all look good for the next 5 years if kept in good condition.
Pick whatever you can afford, make sure the car is healthy and with the lowest possible milage. Make sure to do a compression test before you buy. Also find out if the car was ever tuned and who did the tuning.
