Yeah, the MPG hit is going to be something I'll have to get used to. Where I averaged about 31.5 over the life of my BRZ I can already say it looks like I'll be averaging around 18-22; however, it is fun as hell at the moment so hopefully that doesn't become too annoying! HA!
I know they've had issues in the past with the engine so perhaps its a gamble of sorts. I felt that they would most likely have sorted out those problems after using it so many years, and I haven't heard any complaints recently so fingers crossed! If they do have issues I'll just play the disease card in the means of, "As long as I don't know I have it, the longer I'll live." Or in this case, the car will live!
