I will probably end up trading my FR-S in for a new one next year (assuming these quality problems are fully addressed) or for a competitive car Nissan or Honda may bring to the market. BUT, I wish I could just feel comfortable and confident with keeping THIS FR-S for a long time (like my Honda) ... and save some money or even better, put that saved money into this FR-S.
I was hesitant to ask similar questions simply because I didn't want to cause offense, but it really is the gorilla in the room for me... I love my car now, and I always did. But the first 2 months of ownership for me were very stressful. I had some pretty major mechanical repairs started less than 3 days after purchasing the car... Not to mention continual chirping. I really hope Tada-san can address, or even acknowledge that it's not an isolated incident, even if its not common.
