Well I went to Subaru Newcastle today to see the new BRZ



Sneaked out of work and had a look for an hour

And yes it's better then the photos on the web

As stunner
Yes it's low and wide too so tight parking will be fun with it
Driving position is superb
Equipment levels are very high
Folding heated mirrors
Start button
Heated seats front led lights looked great
Nice neat rear spoiler
Very supportive and plush seats although could be tight if your er ..fat
Nice red stitching
Slighter softer feel plastics then the new hatch
Wheels look good and will be easy to keep clean
Lovely burble from the twin exhaust
Trim very good quality
Rear seats fold perfectly flat so 4ft loading bay
And yes with the misses in driving position I could sit in the back seat for very short journeys
Headroom adequate for my 6ft height
Plenty of adjustment for seats

I could not fault it and not even driven it yet
And the price either 25k or 26.5k with metallic and higher trim

It's the future of Subaru and my ideal midlife crises car as I approach the magic 50 half the price of a Porsche cayman/ boxster

300 only coming into the uk and there won't be any free stock so you need to order it as a special you might be lucky for this year but more likely for next year
San remo red white ,grey ,silver and of course the wr blue

Subaru have a winner with this car just it's so much different to what we are used to


Could to fault it
Delivery on wr blue or maybe silver might be this year if your lucky

hmm, thats a bit disappointing. Theres not much buzz about the car here in the UK than they have over there in America. I'm tempted to go to my local toyota dealership tomorrow and ask them.

4 July is when my Toyota dealer is expecting their demo

Getting bored of waiting.. Now been told it could possibly be August before it arrives (ordered dec) .. Ffs.
Anyone else heard anything on their order?

Edit to add.. I wouldnt mind so much, but seeing all the US threads with their cars already is really annoying..

Not a sausage from my dealer. THere was a guy on another forum that mentioned his dealer told him that his car would arrive on the 16th June but he couldnt have it until the 1st July becasue that was the official release date........

August!!!!

I'm the same. I placed my order on the 2nd December..... now I have to read about everyone driving and enyoying their in the US/Canada.

The BRZ has been at the Cumberland show today and is in the Stan palmers dealership for Sunday viewing only

[faz1]

Got an unexpected e-mail from my dealer today regarding delivery dates....

I was just to say they still have no news!

[ICantAffordAnLFA]

Still getting 'later in June' from my London Scooby dealer.

Can't see the cars on the insurance database so I am guessing it will be a while

Seriously marked down new Impreza Cosworths keep winking at me too

Hurry up with the BRZ

[Sideways?]

I'd best say HI! I'm also a UK'er and reading everything the US dudes have to say is driving me wild waiting for mine...

I have put an order down, dealership said 25th June for the insurance group release date (that will be time to start ringing around for a quote...), but they did get me free tickets to the Moving Motor Show at Goodwood so I could be "one of the first people in the UK" to view the car...

Still no delivery date for my car but apparently as I have put a deposit down I get first dibs on a drive in their demonstrator which is scheduled to arrive on the 9th July...
