Isn't that sort of coverage only good if your engine completely breaks down? If you are astute to your engine making odd noises and bring it in they will probably just call this normal wear and tear?
One scenario is enough people complain and they fix this issue by the 2015 MY and those of us who drive "aggressively" will throw a rod and get a good engine before the 5 years is up. Definitely document oil changes and pay for the 30k mile service racket
Better would be to find a tuner to develop a conservative 99.999% detonation free tune, not just modify the transient retard table but really dive deep into preventing detonation to the point that the knock correction index is not a factor.
I think Toyotas hands are tied with emission promises, I'm looking at investing in BRZ-edit and fix the transient ignition, make closed loop as minimal as possible, find the right spots to pull timing and add fuel. But need fresh O-rings first. Shouldn't be that difficult. If someone figures it out hopefully it will be shared with the community.
