75,000 miles on my First86 '13.

Only "real" issue is tail light condensation on the driver's side that started a few 100 miles after the warranty ended and neither the dealer nor Scion would address. I plan on pulling it off over Christmas vacation, drying it out and replacing the gaskets which I'm pretty sure is the problem.

If that doesn't work, I'm going to build a terrarium or maybe a ship in the taillight.

28k miles, 15 months, 2 track days, 0 problems that weren't caused by me.

If you are willing to purchase silica packets when you get the gasket ninja fix to fix that condensation you could dry that taillight overnight in a box

19k miles 2014 model bought new.

Boomerang went out on the passenger side -- replaced the whole headlight assembly under warranty.

After replacing the headlights the bumper never aligned properly so there's a small gap.

Crickets if I use a different gas than what I normally use.

I'll play along too.

I bought the car in 2012, so its one of the first ones on the road. I've had condensation twice now (two separate sets of lights). Squeaky windows even after I took it to the dealer. Crickets of course. I just replaced the clutch due to the throw out bearing. Car has never been tracked, and has never been driven hard. I'm still happy with the car though so I guess thats all that matters.

2013 FR-S 6MT - 26K miles

I don't consider a coilpack major (replaced bank 1 coilpack @ ~18k mi for $100 and 30 mins labor in my carport). Boosted on Phantom ESC + e85 for 18k miles + lots of other mods. Engine runs like a clock. Transmission is lovely. 20k miles on RS-R Sports-i, zero issues. Interior is in great shape. Raven paint has assorted rock chips in front end, no biggie. Got squeaky windows and crickets that I don't really hear anymore. Car has been nothing but a pleasure.

What the hell's a CEL?

Anthony · 12-16-2015, 04:48 PM

But why would I check the engine? My car runs so flawlessly.

I was kidding about the CEL, but I really don't know what that is. Don't think I've ever heard of the such.

Don't you know? Every Subaru BRZ comes with two free boomerangs located on the driver side and passenger side.
