2013 FR-S owner here. 3 years of ownership, my DD + track rat, zero regret. The only complaint I have for the car is the utility (Well shouldn’t be complaining for such car........), and the 4,000 rpm dead spot (fixed with an aftermarket ecu flash).

My ‘13 FR-S (bought in Oct of ‘12) rattled from the start, though fortunately not in a tone or register that really bothered me aside from the natural it’s-a-brand-new-car-for-Pete’s-sake-why?
Everything I’ve read though says that’s just what Subarus do.
Get one. By happenstance, I just got a thoroughly-babied whiteout pearl FR-S last Friday and I am thrilled with it thus far.
Hi Stef, I sincerely hope you manage to buy a BRZ or an 86. My wife bought a 6spd one on 1/2/16 and it has been great except the clutch was not installed properly at the factory and died at about 7200 miles, replaced by Subaru in one day for free. My shoulders are too broad and my legs/torso are too long to…
Out of all the cars I’ve driven for Jalopnik, the one I wanted to give back the least was the Toyota 86. When Robb…
I’m sure this is a great piece of writing but at this point i’m just over the R34. I just don’t care about these shady people or a car that is not obtainable in the US under plain and clear options.
Austin, while the spirit of your request is laudable, you’re out of your damn mind if you think you can build a daily-driver/rallycross hybrid on a $15k budget.
Don’t rallycross your daily driver. Rallycross is VERY hard on cars, and you won’t get the most out of it if you’re scared about making it home. Buy a cheap POS, literally any cheap POS, and beat it like it owes you money. The cheaper the better. I rallycross a ‘98 Chevy Metro that I paid $140 for. I recommend…
don’t worry, mexico will pay for it.
Damn...that was cold...funny, but cold.
My brother-in-law is on his third. He also wears shoes with Velcro.
Yeah, the Focus ST and the Edge ST are totally going to have similar driving dynamics...
I’ll say it. I think this is a terrible idea.
photography is a waste of money
Drifting is stupid
Unless it is a single cylinder, I’d file “headers” in the same category as “pants.”
This drives me up the wall.
It took me a minute to realize you were talking about the plural of ‘header’. I was going to say, headers most certainly exist for an I4.’
I think I’m going to invite you to be my new best friend.
