I traded my 2013 Golf-R for the BRZ huge difference in power and torque, even the trade value was $2k more than my out the door price for my BRZ, but I bought the BRZ anyway.
As much as I loved the R, I love everything about the BRZ even more. I'm more than satisfied with my purchase.
I don't understand why so many are dissatisfied with the "lack of HP/Tq", yet bought a twin anyway???
BTW, I bought the BRZ over a new Audi S5.
