To be fair, I've had more issues with my brz than any other car I've owned. It's not a pos but it's pretty annoying sometimes. If I didn't love my car, I would've traded it in by now. If I had these same issues in an appliance car, I'd not put up with it. That's just what cr's take is. I've taken my car in for....

Hpfp chirp
Flashing cel from low idle dip with ac on
Navigation system constantly dropping sats
Severe taillight condensation
a ton of rattles

All in the first year.

I've also had 2 cracked windshields. Haven't had one since 2003 before this car. I don't know what's up with that.

Consumer reports is probably the best source for unbiased somewhat scientific reviews. Face it, from the reliability standpoint, our cars kind of sucked it in the first year. Cr is just saying that.
