Had the same issue on my passenger door speaker. Took it in and they fixed it - If you have a stock speaker they should do the same for you.

Cheers

16,600 miles. Bought 5/29/2012. Right tail light had a little bit of water get into it. Dealer replaced under warranty. Right front fender isn't quite flush with the body, but you don't really notice. Other than that NO problems.

Ive got the BRZ, partially because Subaru has been dealing w/ boxer engine for entire existence. Toyota, never. No issues here. FANTASTIC.

About 9k miles and no issues. I read this forum religiously -- greatly adds to enjoyment of car.

For the most part, you'll have as many issues as you want to have. Some people complain about everything.. others can drive a car for 200K miles with its factory "quirks".

THANK YOU! Exactly! Some of the "issues" I am hearing people having are making me laugh.

Zero issues here. Just about to hit 2000 miles. I've had her two months. I need to drive more

In the month or so after I wrecked my old car and before I picked up the FR-S, I drove a buddy's spare 1990 Toyota Camry. Talk about "quirks." So of course most of the interior lights didn't work, the radio screen didn't work, gas cap jammed, power locks kind of functioned sometimes, it always had my e-brake light on, regardless of actual position, and every now and then, the few interior lights that did work would turn on and a buzzer would go off because it thought one of the doors was open, especially if going around a right hand turn.

Needless to say, the FR-S was much more appreciated after that! I picked mine up about a month and a half ago and no issues so far. Absolutely love it.

No issues.

Dec build.

I dont know if I have issues that some are talking about. I just youtubed a clip of the "idle issue". Wtf? A car changing like .2k revs at idle? Who the fuck cares? Compressor kicking in, alternator kicking in, wahtever!
