I bought a BRZ literally the moment that they hit the lots and I can say that in the 2 years I owned it (mind you I only sold it to get a larger vehicle, circumstances changed) I had 0 issues. Others were not as lucky, if you head over to the warranty section of the forum you can go down the list of issues most of them being very minor, generally subaru and toyota make solid cars and this car isn't an exception.
What you will find is that many of the incidents are more common in the 13' it could be because those cars have had more of a chance to age at this point or perhaps subaru/toyota have been making silent revisions over the years to fix certain things.
As a side note, Mileage is not a very good indicator these days of "life left" in a vehicle. With advancements in materials and processes it has become sort of an antiquated way to process the projected life of a vehicle.
So to sum that all up, you probably can't go wrong with either vehicle but if it were my money I'd put it on the younger of the two cars. BTW try to get a look at a service schedule for the FRS before you buy. You'd hate to buy a car and very quickly after it needs new brake pads for example.
Good luck!
