No crickets on my FR-S. I only use name-brand gas though. CEL is fixed with a flash/ECU update.
To be honest, I don't really care what my engine look like. I'd rather have the lower CG and inherent smoothness of a boxer layout than go with an inline-4 for its traditional "looks".
I drive mine just like I drive my 2.0t MK6 GTI, another 200 hp mill. I'm getting 28 mpg with the FR-S, compared with 25 mpg in the GTI. Same exact commute, same driver.
If you're that upset about your engine and transmission, why not sell your car? Would save you a lot of heartache. I'd never own a car where I hated the powertrain that much. Life's too short to drive cars you don't like IMO.
