Bringing this thread back from the recent past...
So I'm sort of in the same boat. I currently own a 2003 G35 which only has 60K. I just sold my DD so now I'm commuting in the G. Now if you're familiar with this model year, the interior isn't all that - plenty of hard plastics abound and squeaks and rattles have snuck up on the almost-10-year-old car. Mileage is decent on the highway - I can get ~25mpg if I keep it at 65mph with cruise control. Don't ask me about city mileage because it will make your eyes fall out.
Contemplating what I'll lose and what I'll gain if I go for the BRZ: Power loss, squeak-free chassis, new car smell, warranty, better tech, audio controls on steering wheel (yes I actually WANT that lol), gas mileage. I still wonder which is a "better" car - a 10-year-old "sport-luxury" or a brand-spankin' new "entry" coupe from this decade?
I've never owned a brand new car before in my life, and I'd like to, before December 21, 2012, so second model year is out of the question - unless we're all still here on the 22nd.
Input people! I need input!
