Ahhh the internet is the very worst place to try and get accurate reliability numbers.
I have followed each and every failure reported on this forum since 2014. In fact I even had a spread sheet for a bit.
The number of catastrophic failures for all reasons is tiny compared to the sales numbers. This includes the recall debacle.
I gave up on the spread sheet a long time ago as there were so few it was a waste of time.
I would say that since 2014 there have been maybe, just maybe a maximum of 200 failures reported here. Now people will say "but Tcoat you are an idiot since 200 is a lot". Since the car was released there have been almost 100,000 of them sold (FRS/86/ BRZ combined) if the number of failures was truly "staggering" as people claim the should have been several thousand reported on here.
Even if we take the number to a pulled from the ass whopping 2,000 catastrophic failures we are still at the 2% mark. The real number is probably sub 1% though. This is on par with any other car out there and better than some.
