How's your car doing?
 
So I'm looking into picking up a newish 2014-2016 model and I'm just wondering how's everyone's car holding up?

Could you guys let me know? Post your mileage, and if any.. problems you've encountered.

And perhaps a review? Or rating in which you'd give the car?

Appreciate it fellas!

Own a 2013 10-Series. Two and a half years, almost 60,000 miles later and haven't encountered a single problem. (Disclaimer: I take good care of my vehicle. Service maintenance and all that.)

If buying a manual, reverse gear can be a bit of a pain at times. Also, snow tires or all-seasons are A MUST for the winter.

Try to find a 2015 or a 2016 year model. They have a refined suspension and they don't have some small issues of the previous years.

I have a base 2013 with 44,000 miles on it (second owner since 25,000 mi). 10,000 have been supercharged, but it's holding up just fine. Check my build for info on my car. Squeaks, rattles, and crickets are still there, but I stopped caring.

Currently own a 2013 FRS 10 Series at 25k miles.

Engine rebuild and ABS Actuator failure. Car was out of commission for about 3 weeks. Car will be 3 years old this December.

I have a lot of interior squeaks and rattles from the rear deck to the front dash. I have to turn up the music to hide the squeaks and rattles. I do have an exhaust on the car and the parts in the car resonate with it and makes more rattles. I do have sound-deadening material in the trunk and the door, still pretty loud in the car from road and wind noise.

I have a '13 base model with 43k on it, 42k of which is turboed miles. Not a single problem with it so far (knock on wood).

There is no other car for me. 10/10 would buy again, quirks and all. :wub:

22 Kmi -ish.

Lelantas 01-16-2016 06:33 PM

2015 BRZ with 10k miles. No performance mods, not tracked, no problems so far as my daily driver. So far, no squeaks or rattles to speak of.

Buy new if you can as the last owner might not have been the little old lady.


That old saying applies to used cars. Drive It Like You Stole It.

RichardsFRS 01-16-2016 07:07 PM

Bought mine used with 43'500 on it. It's a 2013. Now has 45 in it. No problems in short time I've had it

skribblez 01-16-2016 07:09 PM

2015 BRZ, 7000km absolutely nothing wrong with the car so far. Loving every minute of it.

RichardsFRS 01-16-2016 07:12 PM

Oh you wanted a rating. What comes after a perfect ten? That's what it would be. If something happen to it today I'd seek another just like it. I'm helping some friends look for one. They want the brz. They were blown away by it when they saw it today. Their going to track theirs.
