I loved it, so I bought it.

What I think of my BRZ Limited 6MT:

• Brilliant: chassis, handling/balance, road feel, shifter, steering feedback, throttle response, seats, driver position, clutch (and position of other pedals and controls), exterior appearance, ease of basic maintenance (best oil filter location ever)
  
  
• Significantly Better Than Average: amenities, price, willingness to rev, utility (for such a small car), real-world fuel efficiency (for a somewhat high revving N/A)
  
  
• Slightly Better Than Average: acceleration, brakes, infotainment, interior appearance
  
  
• Average: grip, engine sound, EPA ratings, build quality
