The biggest problem with the 2012/2013 86s/BRZ is they can have a bearing failure, which means your car could put a piston through the block and this becomes an expensive exercise. The reason for the problem is not clear. So if i was buying a 12 or 13 make sure it has an extended warranty. From what I heard from July 2013 the problem was fixed but one or 2 people have reported bearing failures on later models. My 2012 86 did 45000 before an accident(She was repaired and I believe still has her original engine) and my 2014 is on 60000 and neither gave me any problems.
With regards to maintenance:
A basic service from Toyota is +-3500 and the spark plug(every 90k) is about 10k. On my town/traffic drive i get 9.5l per 100. Best I have seen driving long road is 8.9
