Kudos for looking at buying another twin. I wouldn't blame you for being a bit jaded by the whole thing. Agree with everyone on here, sounds like a good deal. Hopefully the new one is trouble free.

In your situation, with your engine failing so often, I’d probably want a nice new car whether twin or something else. No-one needs the stress and worry about their car breaking down any moment, for the next 3-4 years it will take for the next gen twins to come on sale. And as others say, jumping into the first year of a new model is probably not the best idea, especially if you are coming from an already unreliable car! By contrast, the post 2017 twins are pretty sorted by now, most of the earlier issues have been ironed out.

Between all the document issues with the first run 86/FRS/BRZ and the number of recalls my wife had on her first rum 17 Impreza I know I will never ever be an early adapter for any car again. That said there are loads of first run FRS out there where the owners have never had a single issue. I just don't like the odds.

The odds are better than buying a 2020 Corvette. First mid engine Vette with completely new engine and chassis from the General! Number of TSBs may hit triple digit |

Actually, it does look like an awesome car, but largely irrelevant for those of us on average budgets and outside the USA. |

Well, now that I think about it, the driver really didn't have anything to do with the Teslas blowing up. It was more spontaneous combustion, or car suicide, then anything the driver did. I suppose that is different....
