We've updated our reliability stats for the FR-S to include owner experiences through September 30, 2013.
Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year: 2013 FR-S: 48, moderate We have two additional statistics, "Nada-odds" and "Lemon-odds", to indicate the percentage of cars with no repairs in the past year and those that required 3+ trips to the repair shop: 2013 FR-S: 61, 3 We'll have further updates in February and in May. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be. To see how competitors compare, and to sign up to help improve this information: Scion FR-S reliability ratings and comparisons

It's going to have a somewhat bad score at least until these initial problems are past. But I wouldn't personally be concerned given the nature of the problems.

This was with the FR-S, or a different car? I assumed the latter when I first read your post.
The problems typically reported for the FR-S aren't the sort that would keep me from buying a car, but different people have difference tolerances.

We had a weird shift in weather (from mild winter to artic) and I noticed light condensation in my tail lights twice -the only time I ever touched the taillights was while washing the car. If someone verifies that this can never happen with the TOMS taillights then I'll swap them tomorrow. |

I think reliability is okay as liong as it doesn't get in the way of driving.
Tail light condensation - No problem. Engine problems are any problems under the front hood = nono |

Not a Toyota, period...well, the annoying as hell fuel pump, the key fob, the direct injection system, and about 2 other tiny parts. Subaru is and always has been at least 1 step below average in quality according to all the literature I researched prior to buying. Hondas and Toyotas have always been 1 step above average, so, 2 steps above Subaru. We got what we paid for, it's exactly as expected. |

I'm glad I didn't read this reliability report before purchasing my BRZ, I might've been too hesitant to buy one.

Maybe there should be extra survey questions:
Has your car left you stuck and requiried a tow (accidents excluded)? If so, was this a warranty repair? Was it fixed the first time? Does your car suffer from quality issues that impact its mobility? Does your car suffer from quality issues that do not impact it's mobility? Have you performed any modifications to intake/engine/exhaust/electrical/ECU/suspension? If so, what was modified? |

The survey gathers all of this information. Tows are rare for any car in its first few years. With the latest update we've added a second set of stats that only includes powertrain and chassis repairs--things that could impact mobility. These are 1/3 of the total for all 2013 cars, but rise to 75% of the total for 2003s.
