"Dude. You should have bought..."

Fill in the blank. :-)

It seems that for each person who has done their reading and loves the Twins, there is someone who just has to try to make you second-guess your decision. I live in Northwestern Washington where almost everyone drives a Subaru (plastered with bumper stickers) so the one I get most often is: "Why didn't you get the Subaru". But I've also had other imported models thrown out there as well, depending on what their preferences are. Just wondering if anyone else got the same unasked-for-advice after purchasing their car...

A V6 Mustang.

Wisdom often comes with age... My friends know better than to make such a statement. If anyone else feels the need to go down that path, they'd likely hear "title your choice in my name or go f..." Well you know the rest!

People who know about the twins: "Should have bought the Subaru (BRZ)"

Others, by way of rank:

1. "Should have bought a 370Z."
2. "Should have bought a WRX."
3. "Should have bought a Genesis Coupe".

I got a "Should have bought a Corolla. More practical."
What?

This one really bothered me a while back after a light 1/2" snowfall. Lunch break, pull into a BK and guy a few cars down shouts out "Hey, is that AWD?" I quickly replied "Nope!" before he had a chance to make this a conversation. The then replies with "You should have bought an evo." I didn't even bother to turn look back at him.

Idiots.

Evo's are nice man, but this car makes me smile just going to the grocery store. Lol, I always felt like the Evo drove itself :/ Plus the legs forward driving of the BRZ makes it super easy to predict where the curbs are :D

P.S I get, "You should have bought the turbo version". wtf

I'm well aware of the Evo X and past gens. It just pisses me off that the comment is absurd in likeness he was drawing of the 2 cars.

The only way to make it more opaque would be had I been driving a customer's '69 Camaro and he asked the same questions. 2 completely different cars/markets.

350z or Genesis coupe. Should of got a Ralliart for practical reasons but I am still happy with my FRS.

A mustang. I've owned mustangs my whole life and hang out with pretty much all mustang owners, lol.

Genesis Coupe. Four times in the last month to be exact. WRX twice. Camaro once. 3 series once. Seems to be the more FRS/BRZ I have seen pop up in the area the more haters. And its always directed toward the hp numbers.

"WTF, the gen coupe has like 350 hp" another guy "damn, so its like 180hp? you do know the gen coupe has like 340 hp right?" another guy "thats the frs huh? no its the brz, they are similar with slight differences. oh yeah, looks like a 16 year old girls first car. you do know about the genesis 2 door right?"

I then inform them Ive got something at home in the 545 hp range if they would like to line up just let me know where. The more I drive the BRZ the more I enjoy it. That's enough for me.

lol, I never had many try to change my mind, but those who did told me to get a Gen Coupe, V6 Mustang, and 370z. I had one friend tell me I should've bought a prius lol. In the end, once the dealer gave me the keys, I never looked back.

almost always an EVO. if not then any awd vehicle. the north country is pretty rough.

Well, I don't get out much around "car people" but when my friends ask me "Why didn't you just keep your Miata?"

I just say "look in my back seat" .....:) (granddaughters)
