How is this possible if these cars were release in 2012? Seems like you are off by a year,unless I'm missing something.

That being said,I've had my 2013 since 2015.I've put on 50k+ miles over that time,while daily driving through Chicago winters,and I've yet to have a single significant issue. Other than the taillight condensation,this car has been rock solid for me.

Well, that is "going on 10 years" isn't it?

I've had mine for 8 yrs 9 months, @180,000 trouble free miles. As far as I know there are only a handful of people (mostly on here) that had the potential to have had theirs longer.

Jeebus! That's a shitload of miles! I know you track your car,but that's still a lot. I only use mine as a daily,had it for just under 6 years and put 50k on mine.I'll probably average over 8500 mile per year.If I maintain that pace,it'll take me another 13 years to get to your mileage!

This car has been the most reliable car that I've ever owned(only had used cars),and if I can get another 13+/- years out of it,that would be fantastic.

No tracking, its primarily my weekday DD.

Holy shit! How far is your commute then?! I do about a 25-30 miles per week day and for the past 6 months,another 100-ish,every two weeks.

I do almost exactly 40 miles each way on weekdays (80 miles round trip). Some days it's up to 120 miles depending on whether I drive to the airport where I keep my plane.

I do take the occasional 200 to 400 mile trip on weekends as well, but don't always take the FRS. All told, between the FRS and my Suburban (weekend warrior) I drive between 30K and 40K a year on average.

I like how OP posted then never bothered to respond.

I would purchase a Subaru any day over any one of the Chrysler Fiat conglomerate companies.

This car is so fast that you are relatively a few years in the future when you've driven for some time. Relativity and all that.

Past that humfrz got it pretty early

The Miata works if you aren’t very tall. And good luck finding a well cared for S2000 at a decent price. Not to argue that those aren’t equivalent cars, but the twins have some big advantages over those two cars.

Exactly. I love the S2000 an extreme amount, but you are going to pay a lot for a good one. It’s worth the price no doubt, but it won’t be a brand new, or nearly new car. And I don’t think they make good daily driver cars. The ultimate weekend car though.
