There's obviously probably a lot more factors to it (like weather maybe) but that's why I said that it's not fact but I tend to believe there was some changes on US spec. |

Cricketing is correlated to fuel quality, same issue. + the same sample size thing Tcoat mentioned. Also, I'd expect a much higher portion of US 86's are daily drivers and / or modded. |

I had a lot of trouble with my 2013 FR-S for my 5 year+ of ownership, most of it was due to first year teething issues. Would go for like a 2015+ AT LEAST.

If you look at the threads @N1rve started I think you'll see he had "that car", you know the one that just never is right no matter what is done to it.
(Not a knock on N1rve, he had real issues with the car as I remember)

I had the valve spring recall done at 98,000 miles. I now have 121K and it is still running fine. Mine is a 2013 Whiteout that the original owner blew the motor in @ 600 miles. Toyota replaced the motor and the owner refused to take the car back and it became a lemon law car 2 months after they released the FRS in 2013. It had every option and stickered for almost $29k and I bought it for $20k with 1000 miles on it. Have not had the first problem with it.
