Lol the females usually just give it a good stare and walk on their way. It's true, guys are always vocal about it like "holy sh!t where did you get that from?" once more of these cars start appearing on the streets I wonder if we'll still get the same attention

Even in San Diego I get complimented alot(seriously I feel like I see some sort of exotic everyday on the way in to work. Mine normally happens at gas stations and ill happen to look up and see somebody staring at my car and tell me how much they like it. And I get asked if I have stock rims bc they like them so much. I guess people like xxr 522's 😋 haha I took the center caps off bc I didn't want to be reminded of that and I get even more compliments now

I was driving down a busy street when a guy in a minivan on the oncoming lane decided to stop the car and stare at the car in amazement while holding up traffic. He stuck his head out the window and everything. Needless to say the people behind him wasn't so amused as i was.

Filling up gas last week after bleeding the brakes and this guy rolls up in some generic SUV. Clearly saw him look over at the BRZ as he pulled up, then when he got out he whistled and said "that's a nice car!" When I explained it had 200hp he was shocked; "I need to get me one of those!" is what he says. Apparently he has a MR-S at home that doesn't really have the utility he'd like.

Dude was kinda funny...wasn't an enthusiast, but a "car guy" you know?

I have had people make me roll down the window multiple times so they could ask me who makes the car. I had one person say it looks exotic at a gas station as well.

The second day I had the car I participated in a car show. At this show to name a few cars:
Spyker C8 LM85
4x Aston DBx
10+ Lambos (including a Mucielago SV)
4 or 5 Ferraris
at least 12 vettes
2 panameras
3 CLS AMGs
I could go on. But my point is that my car was the only BRZ there, my fathers the only other subaru there, and I got the biggest crowd around it. Felt great that people didn't know what it was.

A few days later, at my softball game, as I got in the car to go home I heard my teammate goin on about how nice it looked.

Love this car!
