The main reason I've come to this forum is because I found your topic on back ache which is something I've not read about in the UK, but is unfortunately something I've experienced.
I've not really had a chance to enjoy this car due to back ache but hoping this is going to improve, either that or the car will be going.
Prior to the BRZ I had an Alfa 156 (for 13 years until it was written off by a neighbour driving into the side of it), a BMW 325i Coupe for 2 years which I really liked but got an opportunity to get a car I've always wanted, a TVR Griffith so I did. This was not compatible with me due to it giving me head aches, which lead me to a car that gives me back ache. 
Think I'll be returning to BMW if I can't get past the back ache problem. |
Totally get the back aches, I'm 29 and still feel the pain of getting in and out of the BRZ. If you're looking for something comfortable, the BRZ/FRS probably isn't for you. However, there are a lot of sports cars that are more comfortable. I suggest you test drive your next pick more than once. A BMW or Mercedes would be on my short list of comfortable sports cars, but if you're into Subarus, the WRX is much more comfortable. My wife drives one, and as much as I hate the clutch, it's pretty comfy.
