If I were in your shoes, I would have gotten the recall done and negotiate a deal for post 2014 model BRZ. I also cross shopped the Miata and Fiat 124 Abarth before buying the BRZ. FCA customer service or lack there of and inherent electronic problems and resale value were cons of the 124. The noise and LSD were pros vs the Miata.
One problems FCA never solved was the alarm randomly going off, during driving or in the middle of the night. Some owners had this happened daily and sold the car because they can't take it anymore. The dealership refused to take the car in and asked the owners to stop calling because they simply can't fix it.
And you think the BRZ recall was too much....
