Phew, good thing I finally found this thread. I was seriously considering a John Cooper Works as a back up for the BRZ (if I didn't like the test drive). I test drove a 2008 JCW a few days ago and that exhaust sound is just stimulating. The wastegate noise when you switch gears makes my teeth cringe. Threw it into some corners and was impressed.
But yes, it is BMW. German car maintenance just sux! They are reliable only if it is cared for. My current Subaru Legacy now has over 45,000 miles on it and no major repairs, except for normal maintenance. I might just scratch JCW from my list indefinitely.
