Share your story.. as in "I've got xxxxx miles on my car.. still perfect.. still love it!"
I'm still waiting for my 2015.. and wanna read some positive stuff about these cars (besides how great they are to drive) 
P.S. sorry if such a thread already exists. |
I love my brz. I have an engine-back exhaust and an EcuTek tune from nelsmar, and she runs great! I have all the shifter mods (short shifter from kb, rear bushing, mount bushing, mTech springs, and light weight knob) as well, and motul gear 300 in the transmission, and 14k on the ODO. Bought her back in early November, and I think the stock tires are now starting to wear out a bit (or at least have their grip broken just a bit more often now).
I LOVE how this car drives. She's simply a joy to drive, even when I don't feel like driving I always enjoy driving this car.
She's a little (okay, more than a little) dirty at the moment, so she's going to get washed tomorrow, as I'm going on a date tomorrow and a clean car is part of a good impression (that, and I like my car to be clean-looking). So, that's a downside (black gets dirty SO quickly), but not much of one. The crickets aren't major, the exhaust purrs so nicely (thanks to headers, hfc + hemholz resonated fp/op, and invidia q300 cbe) and at just the right volume too. The throttle response is nice, and due to the tune, my gas efficiency on ACN91 has very much improved such that I don't need to drive like a total granny in order to hit 30mpg (though normally I get 28 mpg average over an entire tank, which is a 2-3 mpg increase from before I got tuned).
Sure I've gotten rock chips, and have already had the windshield replaced once (THANK YOU full auto-glass policy! no deductible!), but I plan on doing a full vinyl wrap eventually in order to change the color (color change plus original protection all in one!), so I'm no longer all THAT pissed about it. On black the rock chips aren't big enough to really affect the outward look of the car. You have to be inspecting the car for chips in order to then see them (that's when they stand out pretty glaringly).
LOVE LOVE LOVE this car!
At this point in time with my STI, I was already wishing for a different car. But, like when I had my WRX, I'm still very happy to own this car. The honeymoon has faded, but the giddiness has been replaced by simple contentment.
I'm not trading this beauty in for ANYTHING (not even a really nice Cayman S) any time soon. She's perfect for me financially and automotively (if that's even a word).
