Besides the snark remark, this is a cheap "sports" car made by Toyota with a Subaru engine. Both companies are well known for relaiability. As of yet I have had zero problems so far, and it's my daily driver been going 60 miles round trip for the last 2 years. It's fine.

The only issue I have with this car it's it's cheap interior and odd seats/head rests (and the local douchebag fellow owners) Besides that I grown to accept it. (Not the fellow owners thought.).

there are SOOOO few owners of this car. I can drive 26 miles from long island to manhattan and then back 4-5x and pass 10,000 cars and never see one. I saw ONE parked in about 6-7 months. Five on the road since the summer. I drive a lot around long island and the city, never saw one until I really started to look for them, but thats only a few. Now, the youtube videos of brz/frs owners actually made me really really second guess getting the car as the thought of one of these morons coming up to me to talk would make me want to commit suicide.

It seems to be a pure winning combination of car parts and simple design. I like the suggestion not to mod it being that it is my only ride. That would be a bummer if I modded it at some point and was stuck for a week. The e85 tune sounds neat though. That and the headers, plus maybe some investment in ultra lightweight wheels would probably extend the joy of the car after it goes out of warranty. Seems to be a magic fix for the car, the e85 gasoline one.
