If I were a new car buyer, I would seek as much information about a vehicle before making a purchasing decision. From my experience Consumer Reports has always provided additional valuable data points, especially around reliability. This forum being more enthusiast (and ego) driven also provides some excellent data points. However, a new car buyer who happens to read both cannot overlook that the threads under the TSB section of this forum and Consumer Reports' findings are in-line with each other.
I love my BRZ. Fortunately I haven't had any mechanical problems with it. I admit, it's really easy for me to get defensive when I read bad things about something I already own. But putting myself back in the shoes of a new car buyer, I cannot say I would feel as comfortable buying a new Toyobaru taking into consideration all the information that's out there.
