This is BRZ thread, just kidding, congratulations. My honest opinion even though both are same engine, front look way better in BRZ than 86. I saw yesterday one 86 next to me and the guy honked at me in Houston, I too responded by honking at me.

I do prefer the front bumper of the 17+ BRZ. It seems like it can be pretty easily swapped over in the future if I so decide. The steering wheel for the 86 is defo better than brz though.

Fantastic choice. IMO the 86 is the better looking of the two.

What's different about the steering wheels? Pretty sure from 2017+ they are identical...

Grats on the new ride! Get proper snow tires, the primacys will NOT be safe in the winter.

Sorry to hear that. Fights end poorly for the losing side. I'll try to be gentle.
