BRZ lust. About ready to pull the trigger.
 

Just making a introduction here. I have been trolling this forum for awhile now. I am almost sold. I can't find a reason not too.
I am looking for a new daily driver. My current fleet is aging and has horrible MPG. I am not new to modding things. Here are my Silverado SS daily driver/Strip for the last ten years and my full Arden Jag.

I want something with better MPG and more fun. The current fleet is really only good at 5 second 0-60, killing stop lights and free way passing. Horrible brakes, soft suspension.

I was sold on a used boxster but after reading about IMS shaft issues. I test drove a FR-s and am now addicted. I am going to start car shopping soon.
I joined the VIP program but have to wait 6 months. Any way around this?Maybe use someone elses membership or become an add on. I am a member of a local cycling club and someone has to be a member that I know. I was hoping for a used deal but only found this if anyone want s red one.

From looking at your previous automobiles I'm guessing this one is not for you.

If you dont have a need for another 4 door then the FRS/BRZ/GT86 is for you!

maybe he just wants change.... i wonder what my 27k mile FRS would go for these days lol...

Do it!! I did feel the lack of power at first, but you start to not care about it since its so damn fun. I've had my BRZ from 06/2012, and I still look forward to drive it to work every morning.

@evand welcome to FT86Club.

IMS issues scared me away from a Boxster too. No such worries with the 86 cars.

I can appreciate all types of vehicles. With a post like this you may want to be on a Civic forum.

I was just going to pull the triger on an 05 Boxster S. The IMS stuff killed it for me.

The FR-s I test drove was amazing and much more comfortable.

In the future, I expect we'll see lots of Boxsters getting engine swaps. I would love GT3 redline with the top down.

Mmm, dat Jag... I love those cars; so classy :) Good luck with the BRZ buying!

Hey man, I had a 410whp C5 Vette, then a 445whp Cobra convertible, and now I'm driving a BRZ (all as non-DD toys); go figure! Past performance is not always indicative of future behavior! ;)
To the OP, the twins are absolutely great fun to drive, reliable, affordable (to buy, insure and fuel)... You can't go wrong. :)

I assume you'll be getting black?

Nice truck, BTW
