Anybody with no issues? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm trying to figure out if I'm the only one that has the car and doesn't have any complaints about rattles or malfunction problems or anything like that? It seems like everybody else is finding things wrong with the car but I just can't.

I'm 2000 miles in and I have no crickets, no rattles, no condensation, or any other problems to note. Am I alone?

Let's hope you're our shining beacon of hope! I've less than 250 miles on and already, my car is "haunted!"

Asphaltfrs1 · 08-03-2012, 05:48 AM

I have 4200 miles on mine. The crickets are there but that's supposed to be normal. Other than that I really don't see anything else. The thump from the transmission is also normal, I only hear it once in a while. I don't really have any complains to be honest

I have nothing, no crickets.. Been using 91 shell only and no condensation and no rattles.. Knocks on wood

Lee358 · 08-03-2012, 05:50 AM

I have no complaints also

FRSowner · 08-03-2012, 06:27 AM

No problems here either other than those 'problems' it was designed with like no center armrest or too little power.

Shagaliscious · 08-03-2012, 06:36 AM

Other then the engine chirp, I am problem free (lets hope I don't jinx myself).

eindio · 08-03-2012, 07:56 AM

2500 miles 2 months and no complaints

ngabdala · 08-03-2012, 07:58 AM

No chirping, no rattles. Then again, my BRZ hasn't come in yet

Deebeaux · 08-03-2012, 08:12 AM

If I had to complain about the car, I could point out a couple things (chirping, passenger auto window behavior, and lack of satellite radio), but overall, I really don't care. It's under warranty, the car is a ton of fun, and I don't regret the purchase.

When people ask, I tell them it's great and I love the car. Are there things I'd like improved/sorted out, sure, but it doesn't really take away from the experience.

I don't have any rattles to speak of, but I'm only at 350 miles or so.

RandomHero · 08-03-2012, 08:21 AM

No chirp or rattles. No condensation. Idle dip is there but that has been kinda thought of as normal now?

DAVE FR-S · 08-03-2012, 08:28 AM

Might be a good idea to include manufacture date on the replies so that maybe as a group we can isolate what production dates are in questions with regards to the issues being encountered.

I have 250 miles on mine, no issues or chipring noises of any kind. Mine was manufactured in 6/12.

I'll be the first to admit that I have a picky personality... I'm sure this new car won't go without imperfection in the long run... But so far it has created a solid impression. Of course, I hope this continues.

I have surpassed 700 miles after the 2 weeks I've had my FR-S.
