.... I'm going to preface this with "at the time I just wanted to replace my civic"
....Prius, Prius c, Mazda 3, impreza, (thought about a genesis coupe), Mazda 6.... in that order. We were test driving the impreza when I saw the BRZ on the lot and a little while later found myself preordering something about as different from what I was originally going for as possible....I had said I wanted "not another coupe, practical, really gas efficient"...
I'm so glad that lightning red BRZ was on the lot that day
