My salesman shows up, I ask "Do you happen to have one of these I can drive?" and it turns out he has a used MT6. Perfect. I drove it, and that was that. I have an AWD big box that covers me for practical and Winter storms, and the BRZ is a better & more fun commuter than the wrx.
Really enjoying the BRZ. It gets almost continuous props from the world at large. Young, old, cognoscenti and car-clueless alike. I bought it for the superb (at the price point) driving experience, but also really like that it is a great looking car that isn't styled to look like it's trying to a) eat you (anything Dodge), b) run over you (Ford Raptor, Chevy Camaro) and doesn't have the "baggage by association" of some other fun cars.

Sold my Legacy GT and didn't even consider looking at anything else other then the BRZ! I had made my mind up long time ago and when the Legacy sold, it was a no brainer.
