Minus mechanical issues, yes, the BRZ is a great platform to start with, particularly if you're into deep customization of the car, and want to learn how to drive.

The platform has immense potential, and can teach you to drive, but at the same time, doesn't bite you hard in the ass like the S2k does. It communicates better, and corners well. It's just not as reliable or as well prepared as the S2k out of the box, but the S2k also had a 9k higher MSRP.

If you want a firm indication, we have a 2nd BRZ now.
