This car's not for everybody. That's okay. I primarily posted what I did as a challenge to get you to stop whining about how far you had to go and just go drive the damned thing and decide for yourself. If you had liked it, great. If not, now you know and can focus on something closer.

Well you can call it whining, I stand by my point that if you want to sell a car make it available. I understand that every car is not for everyone. That's why you need a test drive but one you should not have to search to find one to do so. The BRZ is nice but not a perfect fit for everyone as you stated. However, it does nothing to build brand recognition and loyalty to make some one jump through hoops to find out. What made it worse was two dealerships were willing to order the car for me. This being a niche car, that should never be the only option.
My issue is your assumption someone would hate a car based on what they had previously test drove and because they don't want to spend 3 hours to find out they don't like a car.
