To BRZ Owners - Would you recommend BRZ?

Gentlemen;

Now that you have owned and driven your BRZ for months, would you buy this car again? Would you recommend to others to buy it?

If not, state why not and what other RWD car would be a better choice?

Thank you in advance!
..Ben

Owned it for a year. Yes.

Only other RWD I'd considered are at least twice the price and probably won't be any more fun.

Buying this car is the single greatest decision I have ever made.

Yes I would buy it again, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys driving. This car still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it!

Awesome

I think the real question would be, would you buy two?

I've had mine for over a year. There isn't another car in the same price range I would consider picking over it.

Everything already stated above and below. Yes. If you know the car, then this is the car for you. If there is a better car out there in your opinion, buy it.

Depends what you need out of a vehicle.

If you want a tight handling, eye catching, sleek 2 seater coupe, this is a perfect car.

If you're looking for something that you nail the gas, and zoom off? No.

If you're looking for a family sedan - no. The rear seats CAN be used, but there's a lot of compromise there.

Overall, it's a great car - but personal preferences and needs vary, so it depends on the individual, and what aspects of your current car you like and dislike.

Test drive everything out there and buy the car that is best for you. IMHO, the BRZ is a special car (and I have owned lots of cars). I think you will know the right car for you when you drive it.

I try and get all my friends to drive my car at least once, so if they end up in the market, they know what to expect from the platform. So far, everyone who's driven it, loves it.
