And as others say, jumping into the first year of a new model is probably not the best idea, especially if you are coming from an already unreliable car! By contrast, the post 2017 twins are pretty sorted by now, most of the earlier issues have been ironed out.
Meh. They had most of the issues sorted out by the end of 13. No comfort for the guys that got the early ones though.
Between all the document issues with the first run 86/FRS/BRZ and the number of recalls my wife had on her first rum 17 Impreza I know I will never ever be an early adapter for any car again. That said there are loads of first run FRS out there where the owners have never had a single issue. I just don't like the odds.
