FR-S/BRZ problems in Canada
 

First off, I just want to say that I do NOT have my BRZ yet.... but with all the threads of owners in the USA having several issues with their cars (from misaligned trunks to CEL's being lit within miles (kilometers of receiving them), I was just wondering if Canadians are experiencing the same issues with the US models?

I havent had any problems yet

but a misaligned trunk or a cel is covered by warranty anyway so i wouldn't use that as an excuse not to get the car, assuming you want it.

First year problems... Gotta love em.

Oh, I'm getting the car....placed an order already (albeit later than I should have).... =)

This is just more of a curiosity thread than anything else.... I can't be the only one wondering about this, can I?

i didn't

i was more concerned about getting the car detailed, and good thing i did because mine had A LOT of iron deposits and rust spots were already creeping up!

the detailer got all that done

so make sure to skip the dealership cleaning and save a few hundred bucks for a professional detail job

I noticed today the infamous "idle dip", wasn't as extreme as some cases, it only went to about 500rpms, no less, but Im starting to pay more attention to that. Maybe its normal so far, not sure. Only around 200kms on the car.

I'm not too concerned about first year problems. If they are here, they are. That's why I decided to go with Toyota/Subaru, I want to experience the glorious quality and customer service that everyone's been talking about around me for so long (while bashing Nissans reliability, with 3 in the family, I never really had horrible things happen).

No problems here for me!! Gotta love not having em!


I have not had a single issue at all with my FR-S. I've had it since June 7th and It's already got 1650 kms on it. I took care of it and kept it below 4K for the first 1600 kms as indicated in the manual.

I haven't had a single issue at all. I also would like to mention, I really noticed a huge difference in the engine note compared to when I first got the car. It's much much louder then it was 3 weeks ago.

I can't tell you how much fun it is to get close to 7K rpms in this car.

bneale

No cars are perfect. Its just small issue, if the engine or tranny blow then it's a problem.

No problems for me yet, I am at 800KM so far!

3 weeks with my BRZ with 1,500 km, no problem at all. Car is solid and no wind noise, etc...

got my car a day after you, and running about the same KM... I too have noticed that the engine sounds way better now!! love ripping through the gears heh. I usually drive with the windows down, but love how it sounds so much with the windows up, i'm now relying on A/C to keep cool.. it's a fantastic noise!

Zero issues and dealer did excellent job detailing car and I have never had any issues with any dealership preparing my cars.

Had this car for about a month, only problem is, if I rev the rpm high my gas mileage is crappy, if I drive like a granny good gas millage. Why God why, I guess fun cost money :bellyroll:

Got it same day as my then but I got 2600km now

Wait until 2000km thats when I noticed a difference in engine sound

Only thing tho is I have had issues with my car but its just the known leaky taillight issue
