Well, technically my ownership of the BRZ turned 1 year yesterday, but better late a day than never acknowledge it!
Anyways, I think I should give my 1 year impression riding around in my mind the greatest bang for your buck kind of sport(s/y) car.
1. I still take my car to autoX every month, and I still enjoy everything she gives me and then some. I always learn something new with this car especially when you skirt around the limits
2. I have been lucky with a mechanically sound BRZ. I had the crickets for a while but I don't notice it anymore (maybe I got used to it). I never got the tail light condensation and no crazy CELs. So hoping to keep this trend going!
3. Modifying the car is a awesome endeavour because of all the vendor support we have just 1 year into the car being available. There is still plenty of things to do and be developed on my BRZ, but I am in no rush to improve this car that I already love
4. I still get to make people crank their head to look at my car. Quite impressive for something that is sub 30k and has been out for a year. I think the most head cranks I get are from STI and WRX folks
5. The BRZ for me is definitely a keeper, I will ride this car til the day she dies or whenever fossil fuels become banned hehehe...
HAPPY birthday my BRZ
