Most realistic review I've seen so far, and it still sounds like a car I'd love

I wonder if they'll do the 3 year wear and tear warranty on the BRZ. My brother's wife's Subaru has that warranty and they got a new back seat put in just because the stitching wasn't quite perfect on the original one.

Realistic review. Honest comments.
Again, it looks like it is a bit underpowered. It has all the goods of a great drivers car but in the real world not many of us are going to use it ONLY at the track. In the real world it is important to have enough power to out accelerate the 4 dr sedan or the sporty 2 door next to you, if you feel like it. It is not a good feeling if you go for it and the 4 dr sedan with kids in the back goes for it....and he/she beats you....no matter how sporty and cool your ride looks |

So it looks like the Limited edition has the fogs, heated leather/alcantra seats, fancy A/C, and push button start. Not sure that's really worth it if it's going to be the rumored $3k more.

My current car does 0-60mph in 8 sec (it's just a tweak faster through the quarter than a stock base Integra) and 95% of the time it's plenty fast enough for street driving; it's up to license losing speeds on the freeway in what seems like a few seconds. The 86 chops that 0-60 down to 6 seconds, adds a 145 mph top speed - more than adequate I'd say.
