2014 vs 2013 models
I am looking to purchase a 2014 model and want to know if Subaru/Toyota ironed out the first-year glitches on this car? Seems like the chirping is still persistent in the 2014 models. Any insight is appreciated.

Main differences is the stereo headunit and the knee pads. That's about it....

You're forgetting the all important "revised badging," which means the badge on the steering wheel looks like the badge on the nose instead of the dark blue of the 2013.

700 on the Odo and nothing negative to report thus far. I love my BRZ! Most non car people comment on fast and expensive it looks. They are always extremely surprised when I disclose HP and price.

I love my 2013' FRS and never even noticed the Steering wheel Badge but then again I put in one of those CARID Interior kits in Brush Aluminum and I guess that is more noticeable. The Chirping haven't noticed either but then again I use Amsoil Gas additive that is supposed to help with the WInter MTBE in the Fuel and if I'm not mistaken that is the main cause of the Chirping. And it's no good for any of our cars.
I have 650mi on mine now and purchased it the middle of November, Either way I think you'll be happy Driver either 2013 or 2014 models. Drive on Driver |
