I still drive hard in the winter. You can put bags of sand in your trunk if you want.

I look forward to the winter with this car, unlimited drifting when it snows, with a fraction of the wear and tear, if any at all. Very controllable when I need it to be, with winter tires.

Well at least if the OP switches cars his name will be true compared to most on this forum.

I have had 3 taillights swapped, tons of crickets with no offer to fix, paint chips galore, a few small scratcbes (my fault), slightly folded window rubber...but Iove this car!

It has TONS of character flaws and all. Perhaps the Subaru characteristics arent what some Toyota customers expectected.

What you mean a car that doesn't have fogged taillights, tons of crickets, or rattles everywhere? Nah I wasn't expecting it at all.

Paint and build quality on our Lancer is lower quality than the BRZ, FYI.

Not really sure why we need these kinds of threads...reminds me of chicks who want to play games...you don't like the car then go...there are plenty of car owners (any make model) who trade cars after 18 months...I don't get it but hey whatever your money. *2 cents*

I'm glad he had fun but I am not too concerned with a member of the community selling their car because it has a few arbitrary rattles or perceived build quality issues.

Nor did I want to come across as being spiteful or attempt to deter anyone from considering an FRS.It's an awesome car and still leaves a grin on my face.Im new to Scion/Subaru,looks like some of it should have been expected by the commentary.oh well.

raven1231 · 09-19-2013, 06:44 PM

who cares? He enjoyed the car but wants to move on. No need to flame him for it. By the way my EVO is a 2005 and the paint is immaculate.

Glad i live in So Cal...what is this SNOW you guys are talking about?

Liquidsnake · 09-20-2013, 09:07 PM

Ive had my car for a year and a half, and I have not experienced any of these except...................................The paint. I agree.

Stunned at the number of posters on this forum who hate their cars. Never run into any other online car community quite like it.

My wife's got one - I have the truck - and that little car is a flat-out blast. And the price? You gotta be kidding me. Sleeper sports car of the century.

Count me as one satisfied customer.
