5.5 years, 90K miles, and still smilin'...
Standing here during .. ahem... "Happy Hour" at the house.. and gazing upon the ol' '13 FR-S parked up at the top of the sloping driveway facing the street with that ol' "Can we play... huh?... can we... please, oh, please, please please????" look plastered all over it...
Yeah, OK... the engine grenaded after an improperly done recall, but the dealership did the right thing.... Yeah, OK... it ain't a leather interior, and there's no bells-und-vissles (the lack o' bells-und-vissles iss a gutt ting, in my opinion, but the preponderance of plastic is not) Yeah, OK... overall, it just kind of feels like a cheap car in terms of fit, finish, and...ahem... "amenities".... But, ya know what? This has been a great, and I mean GREAT car. Still puts a smile on face, handles better than any other car I've ever owned (with the possible exception of a Fiat Spider, but that had so many other problems it hardly qualified as a car), gets great gas mileage, and is just a beautiful looking car. Best bang for the buck in my life-long stable is still a '93 325i, but that gap is rapidly closing. I DO love this car. That is all. |
u forgot to list TOB goes out prematurely every 50k if u have a MT
|
Agreed, it's a "nice" modern car. E36 would win all day if I could trust the window regulators
|
Aren't these cars great! 6.5 yrs, still love it.
95k km & still waiting on the TOB, should be soon. |

Have you had any major issues with the car besides the WW2 grenade?

And how many of those problem cars were modified?

For everybody else, as far as reliability is concerned, I'm still rocking the original motor in the now nearly 6 years I've owned it, with 60,000+ miles. It's seen redline countless times in those past years and has been solid throughout, and I trust it enough to put on a CARB JRSC in the future to address the lack of power. I still have yet to replace the spark plugs, but surprisingly enough, the car hasn't misfired on me so far, and if Dadhawk's car is anything to go off of, I may not need to until just a bit after 100,000 miles. If anything, my complaints about the car are how many vapenation fuckbois own the same car as I do and the amount of cringe Youtube channels that the same people tend to start about their car. |

But what's your point? That these cars cannot be modified when 80% of them are? U don't see honda and evo owners complaining abt their motors self-distructing from mods. |
