Hi!

Took possession of my '15 BRZ series.Blue in SWP just last week!

This makes Subaru #4 for me in just a few short years. I sold my Saabaru in order to purchase a truck, but sold the truck 1 year to the day later for the BRZ.

Just couldn't stay away long.

I'll get some pics up once I clean her up. The dealer detailed it, and it rained as I was driving home not even a half hour later! HA!

Hi there!

Been lurking here for a while - picked up a lot of good info. Thanks especially for the service manual! I have a 2014 WRB AT, one year old this month and just over 11,000 miles at this point.

I still take advantage of any possible excuse to drive the car...

Been looking for a BRZ for a while. I finally took the plunge and got a great deal on a 2013 Limited Dark Grey Metallic! I have lots of questions so please bear with me if I get to asking what has already been discussed. Sometimes the search function is not my friend, lol.

I've been on here for a couple of weeks. But thought I'd stop in to say hey!

Any Nashville 86's around?

Nice image... Car and color really pops.

Agreed, the short gears really make this fun and enjoyable to drive while keeping the driver involved often.

Welcome!

Welcome back to a Subaru. This is actually my first vehicle of the brand, and I'm sure it should be a good one.

Hope you enjoy your new S.B. to the absolute fullest!

Wow, you got a head start on us new guys... I'm sure I could learn a thing or two from the year of your ownership.

Welcome aboard!

No worries and welcome. You can always do a google search with your question along with 'ft86club' and perhaps a list of previous topics and answers should pull up. I've tried it, and it has worked for me.

Enjoy the forum!

Very nice and welcome.

Finally picked up my 15 Premium yesterday...my uncle had to drive it home as I don't drive stick yet but I'm just starting to now. Put a couple hours behind the wheel yesterday and I'm now stalling less and less. Lol. Made it around town and the highway just fine now. Still not very comfortable but slowly getting the hang of it. =^.^=

I was considering 14 BRZ limited around the area but none of them were the WR Blue Pearl...with Service and Maintenance plans, the car ended up being on the top end of what I was willing to pay for. I was aware of the things I was giving up like the fog lights, spoiler, heated seats, advantages seats, push button start...but I could live without those. I ended up picking my fave color over convenience from the previous model year. I like the faux carbon fiber dash trim as it doesn't stick out visually.


Figured I can always get the next gen one with the fancier stuff later down the line....

WR Blue...because it screams Subaru

I love love love this car.

Lol that's great. You're starting off better than me. Got my car a week and half ago and took me 4 days of training....about 150km or so (hours varied) before I was confident enough to drive around the main roads and highways (mainly because of inclines and traffic jams).

I had my sister drive the car home as I didn't know stick at pick-up date and she got plenty of weird stares hahaha.

Fortunately, it's very flat where I'm at. There are overpasses and what not but they're not really an issue. So long as I get the hang of getting the car going, the action of the shifter and pedal work...there's only really room for improvement.

Thing that sucks is I only get to drive the car twice a week because of work. But that's fine. The two days I have off work, I can drive all day and get some hours/mileage behind the wheel.

Congrats on your car btw

Looks like the same car I'm anxiously waiting for...

Nice choice... I personally prefer the Premium. Already has great standard features, is a solid value, and looks beautiful due to its simplicity. I tried really hard to go with another color, but had a feeling that I'd regret not going for WRB despite being a popular color choice for our car... It's a plus that it's one of the updated colors for 2015.

Good luck on adapting and learning the manual. It'll become easier and second nature as time progresses... Start out slowly and have fun with the natural learning process.
