Computer broke using phone. Phone likes to change words when I don't want and leave ones that should change. Need to proof read even more that normal.

I swear my phone was updated with a new patch that makes texting screw up on purpose. you = toy......lets = key.....go = goop.....have = heve.....WTF is a heve?!
The speech to text thing works best instead of you typing and the phone re-configuring what you type to be nonsense. |

Or you can just go through the motions of owning the car and just addressing what goes wrong as it comes up. Problems are bound to come up on any car.

Overall reliability isn't as big of a deal when you are doing your own work, but if you are paying a certified Mercedes/Porsche/BMW mechanic to constantly replace parts on your car it can really bleed you dry over time. Especially when you factor in insurance and maintenance costs. |

The initial poor reputation of the FR-S/BRZ was based on this forum and the number of complaints about crickets and the lack of an arm rest.

Some people have this attitude that every car has problems so they keep going back to that manufacturer. Most people buy a car based on how it looks and "reputation" and never look into real reliability trends and numbers. It's the Jeep syndrome. Jeep used to make a decent car, then the new century came, they were scooped up by Fiat and they make shit, but morons still buy them based on this "reputation". Then you have morons who completely ignore the stats and base car purchase on 1 car a friend had that worked OK. I see these sorts of conversations on this forum. My uncle had a Jeep Grand Cherokee and it's a great car, he put 200k on his back in the 80's! Fiat makes great cars, my brother's friedn's uncle's sisters cousin, mother-in-law's nephew had one and it was rock solid. Meanwhile, these are 2 of the least reliable cars on the road today by the numbers. Sure, the ecoboost turbo fords are fast by the numbers, but maybe if you dig deeper you'll see that they are not the best option because of the annoying habit they have of eating that turbo, head gaskets blowing and heaven help you if you decide to get the Powershit trans or Ford Connect for that matter. |

Some of those aren't specific to just MY13s though. I'm sure I'm missing a couple things, but I own a MY14 so I didn't pay close attention to the MY13 issues. |

When people hate on your cars it's usually not because of the reliability but more so because it can get smoked by a Camry.
