It's actually neither. It's really a Toyobaru!
Toyota is a mastermind in business planning when looking at their track record. I'm sure they wouldn't release garbage with their name on it. I never really liked Subaru if at all. I'm confident Toyota made the right moves with Subaru in developing this car.

I'm down to meet fellow owners as well. I'm free on Wednesdays and Saturdays. But I'm usually booked up for Saturday doing something so Wednesdays would be best for me.
I'll likely come out with my MR2 to mix things up. Just something different to look at rather than the same ol' FRS/BRZ that 10 others are showing up with haha.

Just spotted an Ultramarine FRS outside my work (Bruce/Frederick) - that is such a great colour. Hopefully will see out at a meet soon!

The problem from what I've been reading seems to be fuel pump internal materials causing the chirping. So since I have a build date of May 2013, hopefully all the minor issues from last year have been addressed. So far, I've got around 530kms on the car and it's running smoother than ever! Do you guys get a weird noise when doing 1st gear take offs? A chatty type of clutch sound? I'm sure it's normal and is probably related to the D4-S injection system doing its thing. I also get it when I lugging off in low rpm 3rd gear (like having to slow down for those pesky speed pumps, then speeding back up all while in 3rd gear). I haven't see any another FRS/BRZ other than mine so I have nothing to compare to. I would love to meet up with other owners. Saw a SICK black FRS lowered on some 18" mesh type wheels today at the back of the Wal-Mart parking lot at Fairview Mall. I did a circle around it in my FRS to check it out then took off. Whoever owns that car... NICE CAR!

That's @sal you saw at Fairview. My car sounds like a tractor when you give it some gas at low RPMs, so I think that's probably what you're describing. I also have a chatty first gear, I like it, kinda sounds like a race car... |

First off greetings and welcome to the new guys!
Second on the topic of a meet weekends would be better for me. Thinking about hitting the Pergola AVX theatre for Pacific Rim on Sat anyone interested in taking over the parking lot and cinema? |

I gotta find the time to adjust the clutch though. They set it just a bit too high from the factory. I won't be around for the next month or so to meet up. With my wedding coming up and all the planning behind that, I literally have no time for anything. I can't wait till it's over so I can get back to a normal life LOL.
