Yes, I can accept to a certain degree engine issues, especially in a new design and in a great car like the BRZ, but not when the dealers often try to blame the drivers. Subaru needs to acknowledge the issue and take care of their owners!

I'd attest that to statistics, have a higher number of those vehicles on the road and large portion not reporting it to a forum as the main crowd may not use a forum. The FRS/BRZ twins have a smaller sample size and the fact a massive percentage use the forum as well are "car people" it exacerbates the failure rate. I'd like to see a comparison of failure rates to other vehicles using an equivalent proportion.
