Cost of maintenance - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Question. For those who are mechanical professionals and own this car, what's the cost of maintenance for 10+ years (150k+ miles) compared to an s2000? Will it hold up as well? This is considering the car is tracked a few times a year.

Probably a bit more expensive. It's pretty hard to beat the reliability of the F20/22C engines and it's still a little early to tell how the FA20 will react to long term abuse.

Assuming both drivetrains will be as reliable as the other, the S2000 has the added cost of the rag top wearing out.

Then again, there's a boatload of threads specifically comparing these cars.
