There is just no way you trade out 1 year into a lease and not loose money on a car. I assume he's probably already looked at the numbers at the dealership, didn't like them and that's why he posted...

Honestly, if I was buying a used FR-S or BRZ in a few years, I would probably refrain from the 2013 model year. That is assuming of course this whole CEL thing is a non-issue for 2014 model year and...

I never had any bad chirping in my FR-S. Every time I used Shell V-Power 91, I noticed my average mileage got worse by almost 1L/100km.
