Check for codes? Replace starters? And my favourite in this case was the coil. Electrical issues you need to start with battery, move to fuses, onto relays, then to mechanicals and motors. Not to mention that the BRZs have an often discussed issue with batteries dying even if we haven't figured out just why yet.

I've noticed that as well and it doesn't seem like some statistical error. It seems that most of the BR-Zs seem to have more starter/battery issues than the FR-S in the issues section. I've got a feeling it's got to do more with the fact it uses more power in a parked state than the FR-S. It has a different alarm system than the FR-S (in fact it actually has an alarm) as well as the keyless entry fob detection active all the time. I surmise this may cause a bit more extra wear on the battery than the FR-S. Most likely Monograms, 10 Series, and RS 1.0s with the same alarm and key-less entry system should suffer the same issues that would totally narrow it down.
