Really appreciate the feedback, sounds like it's pretty much a no-brainer to just keep my 2014.

Besides, if I want a truly new BRZ, the 2020's are coming out soon and according to what I have...

I have a 2014 Premium with about 40K on it and am thinking about trading up to an almost new 2019 Limited with the performance package that has 6K on it.

My 2014 runs fine and outside of a few...

Yikes ! Never thought I would have to remove the whole door panel, but it makes perfect sense. Outside of being the only way to remove the switch plate it obviously gives me the opportunity to sound...

Short shifter question

I'm 6'2" and have to put the seat in my BRZ all the way back in order to keep my knee from hitting the wheel when letting out on the clutch. No complaint about this, since every other manual car I've...

I am assuming if the "D" in the example is a 2013 then mine is an "E" so I guess that means it's a 2014, if the model year increases in alphabetical order.

Regardless, the title states it's a 2014...
