The BRZ is my first Japanese car and so far it hasn't impressed me with reliability. Stupid little things need replacing more often than any ofy German cars. Parts are much cheaper, but this is the first car that I've ever had to buy a coil pack for, or a door switch, or a front bumper seal strip, or a window seal, or lug nuts.

The fun factor makes up for this, but as a whole this car isn't any cheaper to own than any of the Audis, BMWs, or Benzes I've had. Sorry, just remembered, the Audi TT did need an unexpected repair once; a fuse for the auxiliary fan. That sucked, like ramen for an entire month.

I appraise cars for a living. And German cars rarely pass inspection, and their resale values are the worst. Yours is the exception. Next.
