    I did a search here and came up with nothing. I'm on a site called L talk. It's pretty weak in the Aventador section. Not a lot of posts or info. Any other sites that could be better? I educated myself on Ferrari right here on Fchat.

    So we go to Prestige Imports in Miami today, a L dealer. Nice sales guy tells us transmission in '12 and '13 models is pretty rough and violent when you shift. He recommends a 2014 and up. So as we know 2012 was the first year .

    (On a separate note, he tells me they sold 42 cars last month! Pretty righteous.)

    It's not a Cadillac so a super smooth gear shift isn't that important or is it?

    Just want to get some owner thoughts on this. Any other big differences in model years? We're just starting to educate ourselves on this model like we did before we bought our other cars.

    Try Lambo Power for owners thoughts.

    I bought my 2013 new in 2013. The transmission at first under high throttle was tough.
    I complained to the dealer who told me that is the way they are designed.

    Then a month later the dealer called and told me the factory had a free fix. That solved the problem.

    My car is 700 hp the later years are 720 hp. This happened when the Hellcat was introduced which has 7007hp.

    The car has been reliable with no problems. I love the looks, power and handling.

    I hope you find what you are looking for. I would buy the year you can get the best deal and cleanest car. They may have made other changes I am not sure.

    So a software update? I haven't test driven yet. Both dealers have offered a test drive but I guess I'm a bit old school. Not ready to buy just yet. Still tire kicking a bit.

    Thanks for advice Lee.

    +1 for checking out Lambo Power.

    2013 had some software changes that were significant.
