I do hope S/T care though. Even though my recall work appears to have gone smoothly, I know of one other guy who went to the same dealership as me and had his engine die after the repair work was completed. Dealership and Toyota both said they wouldn’t help him. Stories like that make me question whether I would ever be an early adopter again, let alone buy another S/T product.

I do believe they care, we probably wouldn’t even have the twins if they didn’t. I think Toyota takes quality control issues very seriously, part of their reputation is built on reliability. It’s unfortunate how some of the early issues were handled though. It may have been handled a little differently if it was strictly a Toyota product. Were the valves and head tuned by Yamaha?
I totally understand being hesitant about getting a first year 2nd gen 86, or any S/T product. Confidence in a brand can be lost quickly, especially if it causes any financial burden. You’ve had a great attitude about it all, and I hope you continue to support the 86/BRZ.
