Low volume and profit cars like the twins probably won't go through substantive updates/changes through the years except for a few minor tweaks to improve reliability. Also, the body style probably...

My biggest complaints of the BRZ are the cabin noise and the (over rough pavement) choppy ride when there are seams in the highway (seemingly every LA highway) which leads to a gallop-y bouncing ride...

I go the other way around. To Thousand Oaks from Westwood, haha.



Nice price! I bought my car in DC but I was $28.9k OTD in July 2013. NYC prices sounds like California :confused0068:

Unless you buy hybrid or electric, CA charges a ton of fees and taxes on top of car purchases (9-10% sales tax + ~$300 in fees). If you get a BRZ for $26k, then OTD price is still at least $28.6k.

Overall fairly satisfied. I could have gone for a little more sound deadening, better quality stereo, and less overall rattles, but everything else is good.

If exclusivity is what makes you excited, go for a one-off kind of car that most people can't attain. Unfortunately, since the twins are priced to sell, there's going to be a lot of them out there.

In many states (MD being one of them), the dealership provides you your license plates at time of purchase. I never had to step foot in a DMV to get my license plates (thank god).

I don't see a ton of twins over here in the DC-area. Once in a while I see one, but I'd put it at about once or twice a month. I drive ~two times a week.

I brought my car in, along with an oil change, citing the rough idle issue. The resolution was a ECM re-flash. So I wonder if it's the same thing. The FR-S has a TSB for it, but oddly, not the BRZ.
