Autoweek has a first drive review of the BRZ up:

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2600

Very positive review on the whole, although the reviewer did not appreciate the BRZ's understeer, evident when driven at a less than balls-out pace.

The more the reviews come in the more I want to get in one!!!

That test drive in April/May is going to scare the shit out of the salesman.

Man we need a magazine to do one for both of them and tell us if the different suspensions actually make a difference.

So stoked! Just like everyone else said, thanks Hatchiroku for compiling this list.

I feel like more of the reputable reviews are stating that the electronic steering is magnificent. I'm really excited about this.
