So I pre-ordered a BRZ the 1st week. Been hounding my dealer and SOA for months now. Finally they tell me last week: "Great news!! We now have a clear picture of when it's coming in....the month of November"!
Cancelled the Subaru.
Searched the country and no BRZ LTD black MT anywhere. Switched to search for a FRS. Found a Raven MT in Dayton. Rented a car, drove down there today and bought the sucker!
The test drive lasted a 1/4 mile. Low torque, low schmork! That was my biggest worry! Coming from a GTI VR6 I need my torque. Well this FRS surprised me. Screw the reviews and all the haters. I drove this car for 3 hours home with a damn smile plastered on my face. I was a tad sore when I finally got out in my driveway though
Handles like a dream. Plenty of power. No worries at all!
To be fair though, I will list what, after 3 hours, annoyed me: the Fisher-Price climate knobs, the stupid stickers on the visors, the stock radio and the 1983 LED clock. Oh and I think the felt seats might annoy me too, not sure though...
So I am unsubscribing to the BRZ forum and am parking my Deetroit arse right here.
Who would ever thought I would own a Scion....and love it!
