To this day, my '17 BRZ (w/ factory short shift option) had my favorite shift feel ever - tight w/no slop or wobble, moderate effort and the feel is just wonderful. I've driven many, many different...

I had the factory STI short shifter, along with the shift lever bushing and trans mount spacer. I prefer a higher effort, notchy shift feel and the BRZ is perfection. The Miata shifter has a little...

This only makes sense if you feel that the BRZ is your soulmate....the car for you.


In that case and if you're comfortable with the financials, then yeah, a 2019 w/PP will be a sweet car.

Those of you that aren't impressed, what have you driven that has better headlights? I've driven a late model GTI at night and my BRZ's seem to be at least as good.

These '17+ headlights are incredible. I can't think of anything else I've driven that has better flame throwers, and I own a '17 Focus RS.


That's all. Anyone else?

I'm struggling to see who's going to buy this car.


First off, it's $50k.

Doesn't get better than those.

If anyone *does* swap out their 17+ LED headlights, please PM me and I'll take them off your hands. A spare set wouldn't be a bad thing to have.
