Oh I see lol cool man big difference huh? I've always had to turn keys and stuff to start my cars prior to getting my BRZ so yeah lol feel the difference too but it's definitely more convenient! You'll get used to it lol this is my first coupe too so almost everything was new to me but the transition/learning period was super smooth. Love every bit of this car

What’s up y’all. Calling in for Louisiana. I’m new to the car scene. Just bought a 2016 BRZ Hyper.Blue few weeks back. This is my first Sports Car, RWD, Project, and Thread. I want to build it into a Track Demon and Street Legend. So I have a lot to learn and put my hands on.

Looking forward to showing y’all the progress ✊🏽✊🏽

Hi everyone. I just finally joined to offer my condolences to someone who had a crash. The car I mean -- the person was fine. But now I lost that thread since it took me a few days to get approved.

I was nbdyfcnsqnc (Nobody of Consequence) from my350z.com history but I decided to reduce to no1 ("no one") to help save the environment. My old 350Z has been in the shop for months over a "check engine" light so I finally got fed up and bought a 2018 BRZ leftover at the dealership near where I work. Although not powerful, it certainly felt better than the 370Z to me. More nimble, basic, and connected to the road.

Let me apologize in advance for whatever nonsense I might bring in here.

Welcome and beautiful car.
Great winter tires and your did to go. I grew up in UT and going over the mountains in rwd was never had an issue if I had winter tires.

I’ve been lurking this forum since the very beginning and only finally have I pulled the trigger on a 2016 BRZ Limited! I don’t know what took me so long but I guess having kids will slow you down a bit haha

I’ve had a 2001 IS300, 2003 RSX TypeS, 2014 GTI, 1996 Miata and now the BRZ. By far my favorite. Drove over 1000 miles(round trip) to pick this one up and would do it again in a heart beat!

Nice congratulations!

Series.Gray · 12-28-2018, 01:23 PM

Hi - as you may have guessed I'm the proud owner of a brand new '19 Series.Gray! I did a TON of research in the years leading up to the purchase which included a ton of help from this very forum - thanks!

I'm moving into the BRZ from a VW Passat so you can imagine the difference. My main focus for the car while I was researching was that I wanted it to be FUN and I now know this car nails fun on the head.

I'm in Western Mass so my purchase included the need for four Michelin X-Ice Xi3s which will be strapped on next Friday. Looking forward to snow!

I'd post pics but can't seem to get the links to work - it looks just like any other Series.Gray you've seen. Love the color, love the wheels and brakes, love the interior, the alcantara, everything - it's better than I had even expected.

Looking forward to getting past the 1000 mile break-in so I can get it up to proper RPMs... any tips and tricks are welcome.

Hi everyone! Glad to finally be apart of this thread! I'm a Subaru Sales rep in the NW US and I recently purchased a 2013 limited WR Blue with gold wheels. Madly enjoying the car and plan to keep yall posted with further modifications.

I purchase this car because I'm passionate about Subaru and sadly totaled my 14' Focus ST. As one door closes another opens I guess. Thanks for having me!
