I worked at a Toyota dealership this summer, and every FR-S we received had this ECU problem. I was also informed by one of the delivery drivers that this had happened with almost every FR-S that was dropped off (a check engine light would be lit as soon as the car was started). That being said, I had the chance to drive one with a stick, and they are fun little cars. I wouldn’t have minded a bit more power, as it seems a bit slow in comparison to my 2011 VW GTI w/ DSG, but overall the car was pretty smooth. Though I am surprised that it took Toyota and Subaru this long to make an announcement, I knew about this in July…
