5 years
 
5 years of ownership.
First 3 years with lots of problems and dealer trips.
0 problem after everything got fixed in the first 3 years.
The car drives like new even after 5 years.
I read web sites and watch YouTube about cars almost everyday. I still can't find any car that's better, so I still have this car now. I even paid over $2,000 to ship this car when I moved. This is my 8th car and I usually change car in 2 or 3 years. So, this car amazes me. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the update! Glad to see the car is still going strong after 5 years!!

Man, I took ownership of my 2013 in Nov 2012, so this Nov i'll be 5 years too! Where did the time go...5 years? Hard to believe.

I'm at 4.5 years with zero issues whatsoever with UEL Stage 2 tune.

That said I've only got 17,000 miles on the clock.

5 years today
 
My Raven is 5 years old today. Winter driven first 3 years, dry weather only now. Looks and drives like new. 0 issues. Stage 2 UEL tune. 60000 miles. By far the most non destination mileage I have put on car. Just enjoy driving her whenever possible.

What colour is your engine bay now?

Mind telling us what kind of problems where u having before?

Same here. Purchased Nov 2012 and still going strong. My downshift doesn't work anymore for my AT but I really don't care. I only use the paddles anyways. Also, it's getting closer to 50k miles. If my son doesn't inherit it when he turns 16 next year, I'll probably upgrade my FRS to a 2018 BRZ with MT. This car has been a joy to drive and improves my crappy work commute.

Three and a half years in, I'm in the same mindset. I may replace my BRZ... with another BRZ. The only thing that has me thinking about a new car is that I suspect Subaru is going to have a Series.Red version coming up in the next couple of years. It'll be difficult to resist buying one.

June 2012 delivery. Scheduled to get next car in 2022. In today's market, first five years of reliability should be a given. Next five years will tell the tale. Rust will kill it by the time I am done with it.The FRS continues to be an entertaining car to drive in all conditions.
