So far I have had zero issues after about 7 weeks with the car. I am expecting the crickets, but after driving a Gencoupe with a wastegate rattle for 14 months, I am just not going to worry about it.

No rattles. No condensation in the taillights. March 2013 build date. Hoping my luck holds out

Send me a message if something happens, I am really worried I'll buy it then something will explode hence my hesitation, when was the last build month of the FRS and BRZ?

Use the one in the glove compartment.

FYI there is an un-used wire aka power source in the dome light area for FR-S. This is used to power the home link mirror on the BRZ. You could tap into that.

I remember now,

What I don't like is that cheap nylon thread on the steering wheel. What is that crap and why is it there. Who would put that on what is otherwise a really great design steering wheel.

That a car that barely breaks 15 seconds in the quarter requires premium gas, ridiculous. I love the handling and the way she drives but this engine is funky.

I keep telling myself that scion is just selling a good project platform, not necessarily a sports car. Engine work has to be done eventually. This car NEEDS 190 at the wheels bare minimum from the factory imo. My auto is pretty atrocious on acceleration but I knew all this going in.

That's exactly how I see it as well. If I get one, it will be a toy.

What do I hate the most? That I couldn't wait until a factory tuned or forced induction Toyota 86 to come out.
