How's your car doing?

The chips can hardly be seen from a distance but they are annoying when washing the car up close.

Odd chip, that does look bad.

All my chips have been rock chips (yours doesn't look like it, odd location?). My impression was that people were putting down Subaru for front end chipping. Buy any low modern black car.. and you will hate yourself within 1 year.

But I see your point, that isn't good.

Every time I have a chip on any steel part.. I put paint on it ASAP. Glue some sandpaper to a pencil eraser, scuff it up and put some touch up on there. Don't want that spreading.

2015 BRZ Manual - Bought new, now at 11k miles. Cricket sounds but still drives nicely, checked at dealership and everything came out fine.

No issues so far unlike my two Minis... Still a happy owner at the moment

'13 limited with 28k is doing really well

replaced the factory nav/head unit and passenger window switch under warranty

aftermarket led small bulbs, race wheels, pads, brake fluid for track use and no ill effects

third set of rubber already, pilot super sports are good

Could you guys let me know? Post your mileage, and if any.. problems you've encountered.

And perhaps a review? Or rating in which you'd give the car?

Appreciate it fellas!

Personally. Best value for money vehicle I've ever owned.
Over 21,000m now and not even 1 small problem.
I did smack a rock really hard and dent the bash plate... But that was my own fault! Luckily that's the only damage it did.

I would recommend some kind of protection on the bottom of the front bumper against stone chips though.
