Smile your experiences

Hey guys I'm currently in the market for a new car. I've been looking pretty hard at the Brz now and doing some research. But first off I want to apologize if there is already a thread for this topic. I looked last night for a lil while and didn't find anything real specific, but if there is put a link up for me? Much appreciated guys. Upon doing my research my mom gets the consumer reports magazines and in the car edition it says the BRZ is categorized as "worse" for reliability. Now I know CR isn't paid by specific manufactures to tell you they're "great" Products, so I just wanted to hear the ultimate reviews from people that actually own the car. Not just drove it for a day or week like other reviews do. As a consumer what are the flaws it may have? Are there any mishaps that have happened? Again sorry if theres already a thread. One last thing i own a2004 mustang v6

I've had mine for 37,000 issue-free miles. My rear view mirror came a little loose, that's about the only issue I've had.

Besides that you get the crickets which doesn't affect anything, it's just a sound coming from the fuel pump. Search for it.

Hello!

Been creeping around the forums for a year or so but finally pulled the trigger..... Got myself a blue BRZ Aozora (series blue).

If you notice a blue aozora in the scarborough/northyork/markham area driving like a grandma that is probably me......I'm still getting used to manual lol.

Cheers,

Cheers,
Welcome and congrats... Can't beat that exterior color.

Btw, manual is the way to go on this car... Once you get the hang of it, it's a damn good experience. My very first car was an auto with the paddle shifters... And now my past six cars have been with true manuals. Enjoy!

New to fourm

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. Just bought my 2014 BRZ limited and love it. Decided to check out the other great minds that think alike.
It's nice to see a drivers car enter the market. Not a vehicle to operate.
I am interested in tastefull mods in the future.

I can understand completely. This is a car which brings excitement and energy along with the word FUN... And it isn't just another means of transport from point A to point B. Refreshing, for sure!

Welcome aboard... Got to use those functions sooner or later, lol.

And you're right, this forum is very beneficial and useful.

Looks sharp, and nice choice of color.

How do you compare it to your '13 Civic Si?

Nice... Bet you get a lot of lookers with that exterior.
