The reliability question (real world reliability, not predicted) needs to wait until the collective FRS/BRZ owners have an average of 20-50k on their cars.

Just my .02
I know right. I mean it can't be done this early, but again I've heard some people complaining about their engine. I mean it's still too early to know the problems beside the engine chirps sound. Even my friend told me that one of his mechanic said BRZ's engine is a lot of problem. I mean I just want to make sure that it's not bad, I can stand to hear to engine chirp but I will not tolerate if the life of the engine itself become shorter. A week ago I just ordered a BRZ, hope everything is fine since it will be my first car.

Thanks!
