Are you waiting for Turbo?
BRZ 25k will turbo in the future
Now the question is: will you wait for turbo? I would like to have more power that would be awesome, but I would rather have better fuel economy. If the turbo version has less MPG then for sure I'll be happy with my NA. What do you guys think? UPDATE: No turbo version ever. Perhaps aftermarket |
I'm definitely waiting on if there will be a turbo car. As I planned on adding one to N/A anyways a factory installed option will save me $ in the long run on the car.

I'm not really interested in a turbo version. Maintenance on them gets expensive and I have already blown two turbo subaru motors. I want something more practical money wise. Also gas mileage like you said.

Zero interest in a turbo version here.

I'm in line for the supercharger. :D

I may be in the minority, but I am happy to be stepping down in horsepower. I've had much faster cars, but I miss my MX-5 the most. IMO (just an opinion) it's more fun to use 9/10ths of a car with lower potential than 5/10ths of a car with higher potential.
I think a turbo version would add 100 to 200 lbs once you put the whole trim package together, and would definitely have stickier tires, potentially bigger brakes, etc. I think the "potential" is too high for the way in which I want to enjoy this simplistic car. There's also something to be said for NA engines, after having a few FI and NA cars. The linearity and response are better, and modulating power is easier. |
I'm going to wait for the turbo model. MPG don't bother me.

With the intended use a turbo is just inviting excessive oil temps. |
I would love to get 250hp from the car but like I said I much rather have more MPG since I'll be on Premium gas. I would love to have a carbon fiber roof, hood, and front spoiler (STi version?) but not at the cost of MPG if it's turbo'd haha
|
I'm not waiting around for the turbo. Four or five years from now? Maybe I'll give it a look, but until then I'll be happy with the NA BRZ.
|
I won't wait either. I think I'll love the non-turbo version just as much, while saving on gas and the maintenance cost.

I'll probably trade the current model for the turbo whenever it's announced.
