So I recently ordered a Whiteout Monogram MT and I have yet to actually test drive the car. I am coming from a 2003 Celica GT. I thought I should at least go and test drive before the car comes in just to make sure I liked it enough...
I went to my local Subaru to test drive and I was surprised how uptight they were. They basically said I have to be serious about the car before test driving and it would be one or two days to schedule a test drive. (This was my third time to their dealership and I've always gotten a bad feeling from them.) They said they don't want people just walking in to test drive and start redlining, etc. without any intention of buying the car. I think this is pretty lame. The Toyota dealership where I ordered mine from (which is not local) said I could test drive any of their FR-S at any time. Talk about not making a person feel welcome in purchasing a BRZ from Subaru.
So basically, here are my questions:
- Going from a 2003 Celica GT to the FR-S will it be fast enough for me?
...So many people on here have said yes. I do not trust the dealer but he said that the FR-S is not quick at all and I will not find a big difference if any at all from my Celica
- Without having test driven, is this an unwise decision?
...I have watched all the reviews and HP is not the most important thing to me as I drive a Celica. Handling is more important
- My gut tells me to buy the FR-S, what do you guys think...hopefully you guys will agree to disagree with the dealer
I am confident in my decision and plan to keep my Celica as a winter driver, but just want to know your opinions on not test driving first. (I tried with Subaru. If I make it up to the Scion dealer before my order comes in I will test drive a regular FR-S)
