I've a BRZ Outside

[Smigelski]

I think I'm the first person on TCL that put his money where is mouth is and bought a BRZ. I've had it on order for months, and it came in today. I was the first in line at my dealership.

The car is awesome, it's a great driver. I can't wait to see what it will do after I get everything broken in. The car's suspension is very firm, and there is near zero body roll.

Yes, it's not as fast in a straight line, but it sure is faster than my 2 Miatas, my E30 325is, and my Golf TDI (which are my most recent vehicles).

The torque is very flat. I even passed a couple of people going uphill on the highway.

This is my first time seeing a Premium BRZ in real life (I have only seen Limiteds). The cloth interior is very nice, and the interior is better than the pictures suggest. The only thing that I'd like from the Limited is the silver trim around the HVAC controls.

I'm just getting used to the car. It'll be fun to see how it handles the back roads I usually drive the Miata on.

As far as price goes: I paid Invoice + $800. That's about $300 under MSRP.


Bring on the love; bring on the hate. I'll be out driving my new sports car.

Congrats! Best color too. You'll have to do a full write up after you break her in.

Paging teklord, paging teklord, your thread has arrived...

smigelski:

please please please put some video of the car being driven, and a walk around inside and out on youtube!!!

Congrats on your amazing new ride, it looks great even standing still.

[bpodlesnik]

Awesome! Post up some more pictures to.

[helement2003]

Definitely the best color!

If it's anything like the S2000 in driving dynamics, it should be a blast!

[epbrown]

Congrats! While it is actually kind of sad how few people here buy the cars they talk about, what's even worse that by actually buying the car you've lost all credibility. From now on, anything negative you say is buyer's remorse, anything positive is just a pathetic attempt to justify the purchase. Only those posters that have never seen one can be trusted to have unbiased, knowledgable opinions.

hot damn

[DJMRDARK]

Looks like how I'd want it. Love that blue.

Just watch out for V6 Mustangs!

I keed, I keed. Enjoy the ride.

I went in to my local Subie dealer and could have ordered one awhile back. The only issue I had was the wait...I would have got my new car in December, and that wouldn't be too fun here in Michigan.

So, now I will just wait until more of these are around.

Just watch out for Jeep Wranglers

FTFY

Even though I'm not a fan of the car, congrats on a new ride!

[Robski92]

Loving the colour, now for some drift vids.

[Turbio!]

Oh no. You will dead. I will sad. RIP Smigelski: no torks

[anothercar]

showin a lot of wheel well no?

[mr lee]

report back when you lower it.

[Projekt R32]

I like it, I am going to schedule a test drive on one of these.

[TM87]

report back when you lower it.

Wouldn't that ruin the driving dynamics of the car??

Some spacers and a bit low would look awsome. Let us know how it goes.

[nickthaskater]

Why the BRZ over the FRS?

Congrats either way; I am definitely envious

[emmettlodge]

Why the BRZ over the FRS?

Probably because of the turbos and AWD, I'd assume.

[helement2003]

Why the BRZ over the FRS?

Motor Trend just said in their shootout that they liked the suspension setup on the BRZ over the FRS.

I've driven neither, so I can't comment.

[deagle]

of course everything works well now, its a fresh car

give us the down low in a few months

its not sports car, but a sporty car

lol

congrats on the car bud

[seadoo2006]

Probably because of the turbos and AWD, I'd assume.

[Wilhelm0075]

Congrats OP! Love the color

[BattleRabbit]

There are two sub-$30k* new cars that I would seriously go out and buy if I had the money; the BRZ and the Fiat 500 Abarth. I am very jealous.

*I like Mustangs, but a Mustang optioned the way I would want would be more than $30k.

[mr lee]

Wouldn't that ruin the driving dynamics of the car??

what driving dynamics?
