I wouldn't be buying a BRZ if it was turbo only. I think it is fine they'll likely offer a turbo option in a few years, but I definitely prefer a N/A over forced induction. I do prefer a little more torque though, and a 2.5L engine would have offered some more grunt, but if I need a torque infusion, I'll hop in my V8 Mustang. Compared to my '90 Miata and Mini Cooper (non-S), the BRZ should feel like a rocket.
