For the past several years I've been able to drive about with the muscle cars in my WRX, soaking up the sounds, without drawing much attention. This weekend I learned that isn't quite possible with the BRZ. I could hear many comments on the car from bystanders, both positive and negative. Favorite comment of the night:
Wife: "What is that?!" (Pointing right at my car)
Husband: "Slow."

To that crowd it may seem "slow" but we have to remember that for probably 99.999% of the general public they have no idea how fast or slow it may be. When asked "how fast" my usual response is "well most cars can beat me in a straight line but eventually you have to turn". To people that know what I mean this makes sense. To those that don't, I really could care less.
Every single day since I have owned the car I have had at least one "nice ride" comment from somebody and I have had days with 20 or more comments made. Not once have I heard anybody say "but it is slow" or had anybody directly tell me that.
