'13s get a bad rap since some folks got 2nd or 3rd hand '13s that have been boosted or who knows what. Then returned to stock and sold to an unwitting buyer who then comes and complains about issues on this forum. Look at the differences in the engine from the 13-14-15 +. Nothing drastic has been done or vastly improved. I don't think there is much difference in terms of reliability or likelihood to be a lemon. If anything the scion is cooler than the 86 because the 86 has a fugly bumper. It is also a numbers game, the highest sales year for this platform was 2013.
My point is '13s are really not that different than the other years. The JO2 recall is really the one thing that sucks but if performed by a good tech it shouldn't be any issue at all. It is so easy to skew numbers here on the forum since few people come on to voice that everything is peachy.
