I ended up getting a car at the end of September, so in December I put on a set of relatively inexpensive tires from Tire Rack (General Altimax Arctic). I got the original size and mounted them to...

Andy, what pressures are you running in your car? We just had SoKAM put winters on our BRZ (only put 205 miles on it before!) and I could visually tell they were low on air. Sure enough, yesterday...

So this week we've had "a development"...my dealer has contacted me and said he found a car in Akron that meets 99% of my criteria...so we're going to pick it up Thursday! :D

Name: Doug & Julie...

Interesting discussion...as I'll (likely) be getting my car in January, I'm going to buy a set of winter tires for the stock 17s and have them installed as I'm taking delivery.

I've owned a few...

You'll probably see another in January. :) We finally put an order down after we got to drive one this past weekend. Very nice.

Loving your diary here...glad to see you're enjoying it so. I'm...

I like it. I also like that they're doing one car as an "ordinary driver", as ours will likely be such a car. Curious to see how they run!

OK, so it took me a while to make up my mind (I cancelled this order when I couldn't test drive a car before committing to an order) as I've only just now test driven a car. But, we've put in an...

Once more...with feeling....

OK, I know I'm late to the party here, but I finally got to drive a BRZ manu-matic. Last week, my Subie salesman called to tell me they took in a used one that I...

Nice additiona Jeredin!

So, I've got a "Third Impression" story to tell...

This weekend Julie and I stopped at Performance Toyota / Scion in Fairfield because they (according to Autotrader.com)...

BRZ Second Impressions -

So just to fill you all in on what I've done...after sitting in the blue BRZ and feeling underwhelmed, I decided to get my deposit back. I couldn't drive the car and...

I'm guessing it's a heated wire system. I get the feeling the peel off the seat's fabric, lay the wiring down, and put the fabric back on. I say "fabric" because I can't spell upholstry. ...

I thought the same...very pleasantly surprised. So much so that, if I decide to order, I'm going with Galaxy Blue over Black.

Glad you like!

Thanks for the kind words. I don't know about "intelligent", :p but definitely an experienced buyer. We both turn 42 this year and we're on Subaru #10 and Porsche #14. Of those, I've made a few...

Andy, great to meet you! ..and good to hear your comments. Did you take any interior shots by any chance?



It seems more and more cars are doing this, so I'd think (hope!) manufacturers are...

I'm well aware I'm not making a fair comparison (a BRZ, while being compared to the Cayman in terms of handling, was never meant to be a competitor to it). And, if we go through with this, the point...

Thought I'd add some pics I took of a Galaxy Blue BRZ that is / was at our dealership. Also some comparo shots next to my Cayman S. That Galaxy Blue is definitely gorgeous!

I'm not a fan of this thread's attachment methods! :p

Side by side shots...

So on Friday I got to (finally) see a BRZ up close and in person. I didn't get to drive it, but was able to sit in it, start it up, etc. I thought I'd share my impressions of what I think so far. ...

Sorry, yes Premium*. I'm in line for a Limited because I want heated seats. I really don't want a push start or a spoiler, but I can live with those. But with pricing pushing $30k, I wish to heck...

Looks like I'm going to rethink my choice of wanting the Limited...with a couple of options I could be pushing $30k. I really want heated seats, but don't care about any of the other "upgrades". In...

Will do! His "region" covers Cleveland through Columbus, Cinci, and I think Lexington. Quite a spread! ..thus my lack of optimism. But you never know.

Do you know how many BRZs Busom has taken...

Stopped by our dealership on Saturday looking for updates. I may get to drive a car before too long, as the regional manager has one and might be able swing by so I / we can see. I'm not holding my...

Mine came yesterday! :)

Good report, thanks! I'm 5'-11" / 225 (..trying to lose weight! :) ). One of the reasons I bought my Legacy 3.6R is because it's sooooo dang comfortable. We make many 4-5 hour trips with our car,...
