620 mi and I haven't had any issues. Haven't heard chirping...but I haven't went looking for it either.
Ordered it July 4, recieved it 2 weeks ago

eikond · 08-03-2012, 10:25 AM

only 900 miles in 10 weeks..

BRZ..

No chirps, no condensation, nothing broken.. I don't even think I have any notable stone chips in the front bumper yet.

I'm very happy with the quality so far.

Besides a rattle mine's doing fine. I can't blame the car as much as the USA's crumbling infrastructure... We need to go Euro style on our paving thickness!

Mine turned 3,000 miles this morning, was built on April 25th, and I took delivery on May 29th. No issues, no weird noises, no complaints -- only a few comments and observations that you can read about here. I love the car. I still get that "pinch me" feeling when approaching it, and absolutely love driving it.

Both of my complaints were actually issues with me and not the car. I haven't had any rattling or chirping or any other unexpected noises. I'm very happy so far.

I'm 950 miles in and I have no crickets, no rattles, no condensation, or any other problems to note, except for two tiny stone chips in the bumper - but in the FR-S's defence there was a dump truck on the highway that decided to chuck out a few pebbles just as I was trying to get past him.

Passenger window doesn't always go down automatically with a full press of the window button. Seems to happen when I push both window buttons at the same time.

Engine chirps at idle.

Pretty weird noise in the >5k range when I rev it out, sounds like rattling I guess. Can't tell if it's coming from the engine or the interior, hoping it's the interior.

Transmission thunks are the synchros, my buddy's IS300 does this too. For fixing it while starting off, just hold the clutch for a few seconds before putting it into first gear to let the input shaft come to a stop. For the other gears, let the shifter tell you when it's ready to go into the next gear, aka don't force it into each gear. It'll fall in with a light touch when it's ready, and it's also a great indicator of when to release the clutch. Usually if you engage the clutch half a second after the shifter falls into place, you will get a perfect shift every time, assuming the A/C isn't on XD

3500 miles on mine. No issues at all.

My gym bag thumps around in my trunk.. Does that count?

One minor complaint is that I can get the car completely sideways with all traction control stuff on and it make this nasty grinding noise. That has more to do with my shitty streets but the noise makes me wince every time.

russv · 08-03-2012, 11:00 AM

No problems after 2.5 months and 1300 miles. Had 1 chirp on first tank of gas but used Chevron 91 with no further chirps. Very pleased.

Had tailight condensations, was going to wait till i spotted another issue before i brought it in to the dealership. But since then, no condensation. Just the minor chirp (that im not sure if its the DI or the chirping noise at times)

Everything else, no issues.

The noise is just your car pulsing the rear brakes. Are you trying to kick the back end out? Only time I've gotten it to do that (with TC on lol) is when the road was really wet and I hit the gas through a turn. It kicked out like 30 degrees then the TC pulled it back in.

No the roads just suck. Lots of dirt on turns and issues where the back end hits a bump and kicks out to the side pretty far. I figured it was the brakes but it just sounds so awful
