Mine started showing its age at around 8 years. Tears in boots, window motor/regulator arm problem, and a weird A/F sensor issue in the 11th year. Aside from that it was awesome!

Some people will have bad experiences, others will have great ones. That goes for any company. I'm happy with my BRZ so far.

I agree with that I have owned American cars that just won't die and I have own imports that live forever but I have also owned both that have blown up well under 100k miles.
