IMO the quality is pretty shitty, the build quality of this car is on par with shitty imprezas and carolas. Personally I think cheaper Honda's have WAY better quality than the twins therefore they are shitty.

Also who ever said I was hating on the car? Older Ferrari's are HUGE HUGE HUGE piles of shit, you can hardly drive them a block! BUT many of them are super cool. Italian's make the biggest piles of shit out there! Ask anyone with a Fiat!

Nice and cool are not the same thing.

Unless you live somewhere that can get the Monogram for 27kish auto 26kish manual.
I'm not really talking about how the car is equipped. I agree it's poor. lol. I don't regret buying a base FR-S for that reason.

I'm talking about how well the car is built and how that makes the car feel. The fit and finish on the whole thing. I'm not saying it's awful, I'm just saying it's on par with shitty commuter cars like Impreza and Carola.

I bought my BRZ new in Feb 14 with 8 miles on it; it now has 10,500 miles. Looking to be a 30-36,000 mile year, so it's a good thing I got the 100,000 mile warranty.

Wowzers, and here I was worried about putting the mileage on.

Been too swamped with work to really drive my girl :[

Just under 6k miles, purchased October 2013.

6k miles here, got her end/start of Nov/Dec 2013.

I live 3 miles from work and my roommate and I switch off who drives there car to work each week so I drive my car to work 2 weeks out of the month. So most of the miles I have put on her are fun time driving miles and not daily commuting miles
