No sig. issues for this guy @19000. My only issues are MY DEALER SUCKING at listening to the small issues I've brough up the them! Small issues are rattles, and my homelink mirror falling off due to improper installation.

500 +/- miles right now and i cant wait until 1000...

FRSGT86 · 09-03-2013, 10:45 AM

Bought in June of 2012 just over 19K, with the only major issue being taillights leaking (need to get them done again at my next oil change, lost count of how many times they've been swapped out, three I think).

I got 10k on mine I've driving it into the city everyday blew a rr strut probally because of the crappy roads. The roads in NY are bad so its getting a type of torture test. Also condensation in rr taillight other than that no problems loving the car.

Two weeks in and I'm almost over 700 miles. It kinda helped having a 450 mile road trip to bring her home. Always nice visiting the relatives and suddenly purchasing a new car.

Luis_GT · 09-03-2013, 09:01 PM

1550~ish miles... Had her since July 27th, 0 issues so far.

Why?

Having one tire with nearly 8900 miles on one side versus a brand new tire with 0 miles means the new tire will have a slightly larger diameter thus causing the car to pull more to one side. Supposedly the school of thought (that I just learned when going thru this) that to combat this you typically want to replace tires in pairs.

However initially I could not afford 2 new Bridgestone Ecopia, so I only bought one ans learned a hard lesson. My fiancee bought a second Ecopia so that the car would not pull so much to one side, but now we realized that the FRS does not do well with two different tread patterns, hp's in the front and ecopia's in the back. With the two Ecopias in the rear, the car is extremely unsteady at highway speeds.

Let me be more specific...

Why HP's instead of buying good tires...

Having 2 different thread patterns front vs rear shouldn't affect how the car feels at highway speeds, I have Nitto Invos in front and Bridgetone PS2's in the rear of the M3 I drive, drives as well as before.

kthxbai · 09-03-2013, 09:21 PM

Sorry for misreading; boils down to $. Planned to drive all 4 tires until it was time to replace all 4, I can't justify nor afford a full set of better tires right now.

Please tell me you didn't spend more than 100 bucks on the Ecopias...

You can get Hankook V12's for about 100 each... and they're as good as the Michelin PS2s...

TylerLieberman · 09-03-2013, 09:55 PM

4700 miles with 4 200 mile round trips up north and down to TX. I have a 3,000 mile trip coming up at the end of the year and possibly a 2,000 mile trip sometime next year.

Yeah have a feeling I may have gotten jipped on this one or if buying a tire at a time jacked up the prices. Ecopias at the Tires Plus shop I went to were $140 a piece. Not sure if it would have been cheaper if I bought a full set, either way I'm not impressed with ecopias.
