Right but you will always find a percentage of people that have engine, transmission, etc failures on any car. Go look at the Gencoupe forum on how many owners are on their 2nd and even 3rd transmission. Plenty. But in the big scheme of things, the numbers are still small compared to Gencoupe owners who have had none. And while some FR-S and BRZ owners have the "chirps" every single (as in 100%) 2013 Gencoupe owner with a 2.0 turbo engine has a wastegate rattle that Hyundai says is normal. And this rattle is loud enough to drown out a chirp .

Point is, if you look hard enough every car has their fair share of warts. I won't even get into Ford, Chevy and Dodge. German cars? Been there, done that four times. One VW qualified in the state of VA for lemon law, with the second VW one more repair shy of lemon law status before I traded it in early on a lease. I loved my BMW too, but that car spent almost as much time in the shop as it did on the road.
