Hello, I'm new to the forum and looking to buy an FRS/BRZ soon. I have been told by every person I've talked to get a 2014 and above, as the 2013s have issues. However, I will be really pushing it with a 2014 and up, as I'm struggling to find a MT in the first place, and when I do they are too expensive.

I do plan to modify the car, probably bolt ons and E85 at the most. Keeping that in mind, the mods won't come for a while. Are the 2013s really that bad? I'm looking at the 10 Series mainly. I plan to get it inspected at a Toyota dealer before I buy one. What are some of the problems/issues I should look for? Should I really just avoid the 2013s at all costs? Any help is appreciated!
