But, I think their data reflects all the issues that have been discussed on this forum after the release of the twins. Yes, they are a great drivers car, but even for a new model some of the issues (Cam failures/windows/water in lights/rough idle/rattles/DI gasket failures) , just to name the big ones, are not consistent with the usual Subaru/Toyota product.

What puzzles me is that all those problems are common to the BRZ and the FR-S, but the Sports Car graph (page 64 of the December CR) rates FR-S at about -45% and BRZ at -108% (BTW, this is off their scale and just one step above the worst-of-all Hyundai Genesis Coupe). You'd hope their sample size is large enough that this difference isn't a statistical error. This leads me to wonder if complaints about the upgrade radio/nav system (standard in the BRZ, option in the FR-S) is part of the problem. CR does say "Of the 17 problem areas we ask about, the category including in-car electronics generated more beefs from owners of 2013 models than for any other category."
