Doesn't bother me. To be honest not that I'm all high and mighty, but I don't see the FRS as a Scion. I see it as what it is. A toyobaru. They slapped Scion badges on it to try to see cars under the label. That is all. I'm slowing removing all of those badges piece by piece. Next up the wheel caps. Then I will have someone has an easier solution for the steering wheel.
My crickets aside, I love the car. Hopefully after tomorrow they are gone as well. |

I bet the FR-S contributed to this.

Not surprised with pages upon pages of "OMG WHAT'S THAT NOIZE" as well as crickets and taillights.
I'm not complaining, just not surprised. |

Of course, none of this attributes to the handling and actual performance of the car. You can still love the car, but you have to admit that it's not the best quality compared to its competitors. |

They deserve it. Selling a $27K car that leaks water through the taillights is utterly insane.
You would think they could do some "BASIC" quality testing.. like driving the car around in rainy conditions and checking to see if water is collecting. |

I suggest everyone to read a forum dedicated to German luxury vehicles and see their list of problems before they start complaining about the issues seen on these cars and claiming "unreliability". Edit: I should have read the article more closely rather than quickly glancing at it. However, my point still stands. Last edited by Havsie; 06-19-2013 at 03:00 PM. Reason: I can't read. |

Exactly, and everybody blew a gasket when I talked about how the Subaru I was test-driving broke down and I said that was unacceptable...

FTA:
"J.D. Power found that two-thirds of the complaints owners had dealt with technology inside the car, from navigation systems to confusing cruise controls to problems pairing their phones with Bluetooth. Under the Power study a complaint doesn't mean something's broken — just that it isn't working as the owner thinks it should be." And directly from J.D. Power: "The majority of problems owners experience with their new vehicle in the first 90 days of ownership are design-related rather than manufacturing defects. These design problems are far less likely to be successfully resolved at the dealership than are defects, according to the study." http://autos.jdpower.com/content/stu...dy-results.htm So it appears two-thirds (couldn't find the raw data) of complaints were most likely about the BeSpoke head unit. That may be why Scion is currently offering the new 2014 head unit for half price (posted in another thread). |

Subaru does not rank much better.
