I'm with some of the other posters here- you shouldn't make your decision based on "problem" threads on an internet forum. I've purchased 3 cars since internet car forums became a big deal, and all have had such threads on specific items. On my last car, '02 Sentra SER, there was much hullabaloo about oil consumption and transmission problems, but I and many others never experienced such trouble, not that there weren't cars that had them, but it was apparently a small percentage given the reputation for reliability these cars have over time.
The FR-s is marketed by an extremely reputable company with a history of standing behind their products. If you have a problem, I have no doubt that Toyota will fix it. I owned a Toyota pickup once that had the paint start to peel off of the primer after the first year (I think warranties were only a year then), and they repainted the entire cab totally free, even though the truck was technically out of warranty. With the warranties on the FR-s, I think you should decide based on what you like about the car, not the negative comments posted on this or any other forum. If you don't accept this, go to a few other car forums and see if you can find one that doesn't have problem threads, and you will see what I mean. If you made your decision based on this factor, you'd by a bicycle instead.
