Have you guys encountered any reliability issues since it's the first model year?

How is it for winter driving? Is it safe in light snow/slush?
Hi @Pavs and welcome to the site.....

A couple of short comments:

Reliability is just fine, a few creaks, shudders and chirps have been noted by some drivers. A few more concerns if the car is heavily tracked.

I understand that the FR-S/BRZ does OK in shallow snow, if it has the proper winter tires mounted.

The forum "search" function will lead you to months of reading about this fine machine.
