2017 Subaru BRZ 2dr Coupe
205-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed manual RWD

Odd rattling problem during acceleration. Originally the tech said there was a fuel problem using lower quality gas. Use of higher-tier gas (Exxon, etc.) didn't fix the problem. A return trip to the dealer resulted in the tech not being able to duplicate the problem. I've decided to live with it.
