I've still got mine that I purchased new in 2012. I've done everything from auto-x to track days to daily driving to winter donuts with it. Tried different tires, different exhaust setups, suspension setups, brakes, etc. Minimal issues, lots of fun. Might just be a keeper.

Just look in the CA sub-forums on here, it's right up there with valve springs as one of the most popular things for us to whine about lately.

Bought new in Feb. 2013. Just had the engine valve recall service done at 36k miles. No issues and no plans to ever sell! Love the 86.

Lol, I'm a millennial in this group, too young to be old, and too old to be young!

Bought one in January of '14, and a second in April/May of '14.

FYI having no debt and good credit is worth it, you should be able to easily afford it in the future once your stuff is clear the without other debt looming over your head.

Purchased mine in july of 2012. Still here. Probably will keep it forever. It's paid off and I've had lots of fun with it and have met a lot of cool people because of it.

I purchased my 2013 in August of 2012. It was the 2nd FR-S to land in Nashville at the Toyota dealership. I have nearly 90k on the odometer and have had no issues.
