I feel there is a lot of hate and I should have never bought this car or why are there so many problems! I love my FRS and here is it's story so far. Share with everyone! There might be some bad put in here but maybe lots of good!

Me personaly!

How many miles do you have?
6200 now!

When do you plan on doing oil changes?
Did my first at 3500 and doing my 2nd at 7000! SOON!
Every 3500 while (with my 5 free from toyota) then every 4500 with redline!
(Why do I change my oil every 3500 is toyota synthetic? Because it's free from the dealer for the first 5 changes and it keep gas mileage up and the engine healthier!

Why am I going to use redline and every 4500? Because it is quality oil and a million times better then anything toyota will try to sell you over priced! Plus I will be doing my own oilchanges after my 5 free!)

How many problems?
So far the only problem I have had is idle fluctuation at idle but the car has never lost power, had a CEL, or stalled.

My basic stuff on my FRS!
I have had my FRS for two months now! Only person to drive it besides the dudes taking it for its first fluid flush once it was in from the docks (free from my dealer!!) Picked it up the day after it came in! I traded in my stage 2 2011 STi for this. Did my 1k break in never going over 4k and always let my car warm up. (I'm OCD about warm up!) Never over rev my car and always drive with traction control off... so far the computer says i've averaged 28.6 MPG since I picked the car up! Not bad! I get 340-410 miles per tank.

Here is my member journal and my wheel write up!

So far I have loved my FRS and it has treated me excellent and is a blast to drive and slide. Tell your cars story!!!
