Exactly why we're suggesting a used first gen, someone with multiple booster seat aged kids would probably be pretty happy to save about $10k over buying a new BRZ with 'drivability improvements' and experience 9.9/10 of the fun.

I'll take good pads for <$500 over the 'upgraded brakes' offered on the BRZ for likely >$2k because you're paying for the wheels and badging every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Especially if the car will ever hit the track.
