I don't have a trunk problem, but I do have the first-to-second gear shift "scrunch" that seems to be prevalent in these cars. I'm becoming fed up with it and plan to take it to the dealer soon.
I wouldn't say excessive, but simply letting gravity do the work won't close it. On my FR-S, I could give it a light flick downwards and it'll shut. The BRZ trunk closes with more of that force, but it feels dampened in how it is shut, a nice "German" feel if you will.
