Though the BRZ is rarity value but I'm not sure (in my humble opinion) it's worth the extra $ in RSA especially considering the limited dealer network to uphold the maintenance plan. |
Another thing to consider is that in SA Subarus have terrible resale value. Why I don't know, because in the USA they have one of the best resale values. Anyway, for me it's a no-brainer - get an 86. It's the same car, it's cheaper, and it'll hold it's value much better being a Toyota.
I know all that, yet I still have 2 Subarus, and I knew all that when I bought them. The Subaru brand does have serious niche appeal, but sadly the true-blue Scoobie boys don't really accept the BRZ as of them because it's well - not AWD and not really a Scoobie.
Whatever. Choose what your heart tells you to.
They're both amazing cars.
