Interesting.

Did you hold the button instead of just hitting it?

at around 8k
-tail lights replaced
-occasional crickets

thats pretty much it. Much better than my 2009 jeep wrangler unlimited i bought new that needed a full engine rebuild, parking brake replaced twice, synchros and MAS all before 10k miles....american reliability...i digress.
BRZ has been awesome.

I got the same. try this. when its rattling, push on the center part of the vent near the windshield the tab part. see if the rattle goes away or is much better.

Had mine for 8000 miles without major issues... only taillight ones. Then I was rear-endedd and the car was totaled/:

my new one has 800 and is already chirping

2100miles (though I still haven't had it a month yet), and no problems.

7500 mi, nothing major mechanically.

GPS loses lock and freezes occasionally (requiring restart), but haven't been able to reproduce at a dealership so they haven't ordered the parts for the fix.

I also get some odd noises on the back end that sound like gravel hitting the inside of the wheel well, even when I'm on perfectly clean roads.

Some pretty heavy resistance shifting into second until the transmission warms up.

Passenger side window auto down not working seems to have sorted itself out after I started double-clicking the button - it now works reliably with a single button press.

Biggest complaints? The silver passenger side dash on the limited model is blindingly reflective in early morning and late evening. That, and the dead pedal that used to be loose and squeaky. Dealership's idea of "fixing" was to make it more loose and less squeaky.
