Should I buy an FR-S? - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I hear peoples concern. But the car is solid. Every release is going to have just a few issues. But seriously, the FR-S and BRZ are nearly identical great cars made by Subaru with a splash of Toyota.

All this time, and I still don't have the car :P I have been waiting for it to show up at the dealership and now that it's there its throwing a check engine light, and supposedly running rich. Woohooo....

I'd go for it. Worst case scenario, it will be covered by warranty and will just cause minor inconvenience of having to wait to get it fixed.

I decided I'm still going to go pick it up. They said I could bring it back during this following business week to fix the issue.

Congrats man!

I have had my FRS now for almost 4 months with 4500 miles on it and not a single major issue. I do have some rattling issues I intend to bring up, and the idle chrip sound, but thats it.
