Test Drive List of Issues FRS/BRZ
 

Hey all, I'm about to test drive my ordered BRZ and want to keep a checklist of what to look out for based on the issues that people have experienced so far.

I'm planning to fly ~500 miles to get my BRZ and drive it back. and am 90% sure I will buy it regardless (since its MSRP, perfect color/trim transmission, waited like a :drool:etc.), but that 10% still lingers based on the issues that others have encountered. Additionally, I know some users haven't experienced any issues at all and got a lucky build.

Which one of these are dealbreakers would have caused you to back out of your BRZ/FRS?

Here is my list so far (Feel free to add):

- Rattling from rear/front at high speeds
- Rev dipping when idle
- Knocking from the engine
- (BRZ) GPS not locking on

Rattling is fixable if you have it. I had none from the start.

Knock from the engine???

I read somewhere regarding the rev dip during idle and it has something to do with AC turning on and off ..... try google the topic - there is a fix for that I think

Make sure the Plugs/grommets in the underbody, just in front of the rear tires is there. Hole is about 2.5in by 1.5in, black plug. There was a thread about it.
