Thanks for the kind words!

I'm moving to...something. Don't exactly know what though.

I chose the BRZ in large part because I thought it would be nearly perfect as a commuter car for me. My office is about 30 miles away; the car gets great fuel economy, it's small and nimble and easy to park and navigate traffic. My two older kids are in college now, so it's just me and a 13 year-old at home - plenty of room for that.

However...there are some things I don't like - the torque dip is a big one, the crappy paint is another (it's the softest paint I've ever seen, the softest towels scratch it). And I've had some less than desirable experience with my dealer's service department.

The kicker is, last month I started telecommuting. So the two main reasons I chose the BRZ over other cars no longer apply. I can either replace it, or just sell it, and either way I get rid of a couple headaches.
