Short term, I think you need to be driving it VERY HARD to see early failures. @
CSG Mike can better explain the abuse the CSG BRZ has taken prior to the failure. I suppose it doesn't help when the highest octane in California is 91.
Long term, no one knows. The majority of owners will probably full under this category.
