Drove from KY to Charlotte NC to get it. I'd worked out a deal I cd live with via email and a couple phone calls with Williams Subaru, took a deep breath and made the trip. All the numbers were the same once I got there and I was out and driving in just over 2 hrs, maybe a personal best for me at a dealership.
Put about 150 miles on it yesterday with a big, stupid grin on my face. Even topping out at around 4K rpm, the car is just a pleasure to drive. Such great steering, gearbox, brakes, interior, seats, driving position. The big surprise was how quiet it is on the road. Not that the STI was a bad driving experience at all, but I'm bonding with this thing hard!
My calculation was that I'd be trading exceptional power and an adequate chassis for an exceptional chassis with adequate power. So far, it feels like that's what I've done
Thanks to everyone that chimed in on my original posts, you're a good group!

I live in KY also (just south of Louisville), there has been very little choices if any locally to purchase one of these cars and was tempted to drive a few hours to look for one myself. I'm glad you found one you liked! The local dealerships care very little about these cars and it's sad when you pull up on the lot and a salesperson automatically assumes you want anything else. The rare occasion you see one on the lot they are confused why you would want it. "But it only has 200hp" was something I've heard twice from some salesmen.

I hope to see your silver BRZ around!
