One year in....who else?!
 
I just realized that I've had my FR-S for over a year now! I bought it June 18th of last year....damn, how time has flown!
I still love driving it. I still actually look forward to my drive to work. No complaints but the damn crickets.
The only thing now is that since I've put the Dunlop ZII's on it...I really want moar power now.! This thing just stick like hell with these tires...so now I am actually thinking of modding the car.

Crickets only after a year, sweet. Had mine for 6 weeks and have crickets, shift stick rattle and trunk area pops!

When I got mine I was like I'm going to drive it stock for the first two years. So much for that, I'm 3k deep in add ons and still need wheels. Lol

tailights
 
13 months. love the car, both tailights changed (warranty), no other issues, stage 2 tune and pulley coming to provide a little added pep to the car.

Picked mine up June 28th last year. Love this car. 28,900 kms (18,000) and counting. 33 MPG average on a car with a 30 MPG HWY rating is pretty sweet too. I've had one taillight and a window seal replaced under warranty.

Damn crickets...

May 31st,little over a year and @ 16,8xx. Only issue for me is the DI cricket issue. I have some internal rattles and the rear deck poping issue I will get fixed one day, but nothing major. No CELs, etc...

One year come August 3rd. About 5000 miles on her. No issues so far. I did have her in for the ECU flash and one oil change.

SilentAngel 07-10-2013 07:17 PM

I've had mine since June 8th 2012, about 16,600 miles on it so far. Absolutely love my car, I've done quite a bit to it but won't be doing much more than what i already have lol. Also have the crickets, they aren't very loud so it doesn't bother me, also had both taillights replaced because of the condesation issue. Can't believe its already been over a year also lol, definately doesn't feel like it. :burnrubber:

W2 07-10-2013 09:09 PM

One year this past June 29th. So far no issues besides the random crickets from time to time. A little over 14,000 miles at this point and it spent most of the winter in the garage :D

I might take it to get the new ECU and current computer flash but I don't really want the dealership screwing with it when there are no real problems.

noobcake 07-10-2013 09:24 PM

No I don't own a FRS, but I was looking into one last year(would of been a year of ownership if I was smarter). I thought they were expensive just by looking at them and not doing any research and ended up leasing a '12 lancer se. I was at the gas station early in the morning one day and the guy that worked there came outside and told me my car looked "mean as fu*k" LOL, he asked me what i paid monthly and I said $250 and asked why I just didn't lease the frs, ever since that day i've regretted getting my car. Now it's posted on craigslist and I got a couple offers, hopefully I'll get out of this and lease a frs soon. Because of 4th of july the scion dealership I pass daily has red white and blue frs's in a glass box and they look good.and I can't wait any longer!

Next Friday marks the full year of ownership of the BRZ! =D No major mods yet but planning on getting some wheels and an exhaust...

Must...finish...paying off...first... >__<

Hawaiian 07-10-2013 10:02 PM

Made 1 year on may 28th. I'm rapidly approaching 30k miles.

FirestormFRS 07-10-2013 10:56 PM

5/31/12, 20,000+ miles. Rear deck pollinated the God awful 70mph resonance but otherwise no issues. Never even a trip to the dealer.

itsibarra 07-11-2013 02:48 AM

Passed a year on June 28th like a couple others on here. Hit 16k miles today! Definitely been enjoyable and I still smile (in my mind) walking up to it. I remember back when people were asking what type of car I was in... Kinda funny because someone asked today what type of car it was.

bcmakesiteasy 07-11-2013 04:35 PM

purchased mine sometime late july early august..i cant remember for the life of me. Just had my 15k mile service.

encity5 07-11-2013 05:17 PM

Wow congratulations :thumbsup:, alot of people have said stickier tires with a stock setup seem to increase the feel of the power deficit I guess you are noticing that now. I think maybe Header intake exhaust and tune would help you out and that would make it just as much fun!

FRSfan111 07-17-2013 03:07 AM

Manufactured 03/12 delivered 05/08/12 first 86er.

Jeffsu350 07-17-2013 08:02 AM

Tomorrow is my one year mark!

I will hit 24k miles tomorrow as well. Sitting at 2396x right now

DIE1000DEATHS 07-17-2013 02:27 PM

Hit my year on July 13th. Love every min with this car. It's still an almost every day occurrence I get asked what it is... Not many cruising the Metro Detroit area I guess. Only saw two twins on the road in the year I've had mine.

r4m3n 07-17-2013 03:49 PM

One year was on June 4th. Went by fast!
