2013 Brz manual 36k miles. I had some ecu issue with the steering where it would just lock the steering wheel while driving fixed under warranty. I still have the crickets even after the dealer replaced the fuel pump and now I have the clicking noise from the rear axle. Took it to the dealer but they did not hear it then so could not help. So I might have to fix it myself.

I have about 80k miles on the car since I bought in May 2013. Over 75 launches due to autoX. I have replaced about 5 sets of tires. Around 76k miles I replaced the clutch due to a blown throw out bearing. Granted this most likely happened due to the fact I launch the car all the time in, driving in San Francisco's hills is a bitch, and the clutch failed the day after my first track day at Laguna Seca. The engine leaks some oil, but that's likely due to the abuse of just being a daily driver and high mileage. I only know of one other person who is more abuse than me in his car, and he has over 125k mile on his car but with a new motor.
One of the most common problems I don't like about this car is the windshield. It is more easily crackable from debris on the highway vs other cars due to the fact there is no gasket covering the outside edges of the window.

Could you guys let me know? Post your mileage, and if any.. problems you've encountered.

And perhaps a review? Or rating in which you'd give the car?

Appreciate it fellas!

2014 with just over 2k miles as she sits in my garage for the winter. Only mods are stickier tires and new wheels. No issues whatsoever.

My quick review is it's a great little car, more quick than it's fast. The torque dip is noticeable and is this car's biggest flaw IMO but easily remedied. The driving experience is like non other in this price range. I came from an RSX-S with I/H/E cams & Hondata so obviously the BRZ is not as fast but is significantly more nimble and hugs curves/corners like the RSX wishes it could.

2013 at 60k+ miles.

I need the bumper, hood, and headlight realigned after a minor (10mph) run in with a deer.

Also a couple dings I need to get removed with a PDR. Front bumper has a ton of tiny road chips that I hide with wax. I've buffed the stock wheels against a few curbs. If you don't pay attention to these details, then the car looks great still.

The stock radio stopped working for me after reset (I didn't have an SD card), so I replaced the radio. My dome light has gone out and I need to find out how to replace it.

Other things I need to get fixed are the shifter rattle, rear deck rattle, and I need new shifter bushings.

I have replaced the MT fluid twice and changed the clutch, and had the spark plugs done at 55k. And kept up with the interval maintenance pretty closely. I probably need to get the diff fluid changed again, I get a whine in 3rd and 6th gear somewhere in the drivetrain.

2014 BRZ Limited at 18K miles so far, top part of steering wheel starting to peel

2016 at about 400 miles, doing great.

Have not been able to go hard with it, so I don't know how well its going to handle it.

The only thing I have done to it is to put some rain-x rain repellent on the windshield since water likes to stick to it.

2016, automatic transmission, 3000 miles.

No issues as of yet. Pretty much always in sport mode unless there's snow on the ground, and drive it in manual mode about 20% of the time (only when I really need to throw it around). Otherwise sport automatic does the job just fine.

LOL soon you will end up like the rest of us... always in manual mode

2016 BRZ. Just over 3K miles. No issues, a lot of fun.

I have noticed the engine hiccups on cold start. I've seen some other threads on this. They sound and feel like misfires. But, I am thinking this is likely a side effect of the cold start tuning.

The hiccups go away as soon as the high rpm cold start ends, and there are no codes. The car drives fine otherwise.
