1. My AC stopped working at around 15k miles. They said they replaced the compressor , I didn't pay much attention since I had no plan to keep it beyond the lease at that point
2. At 20k my front strut (left) started making a loud clank under braking and they had to replace it
So... it's not even been completely bulletproof .. I am a little worried buying it out and keeping it long term

That's not too bad in terms of repairs. My last car was a nightmare!
I had the following replaced:
1) Rocker Arms was scaring camshafts (Engine Needed to be dropped)
2) AVCS sensor oil leak (Engine needed to be dropped)
3) Camshaft, Sprocket, and ECU replacement due to CEL and jump in timing (Engine needed to be dropped)
4) ABS Actuator Failure (loss of ABS Brake and car would not start)
5) Driver window alignment arms replaced due to scratching of Driver Window
6) Driver Window replaced due to scratch
7) ECU needed reflash - Idle dropped to below 500 and caused stalling problems (Car was automatic)
8) Replaced the battery 3 times within 5 years
This was a Scion FR-S made by Subaru. POS....
