Hi. I am tempted to pick up a BRZ in some form. The biggest difference is whether it's the 2017+ or the pre-refresh.

Points for the refresh--
1. Nicer looking steering wheel. It actually looks very nice.
2. Improved engine bits
3. New car smells

Points for the pre-refresh
1. Available used at fantastic prices
2. More money for mods
3. Can go ahead with UEL header and tune pretty soon

I think if I had to keep it stock, I would go with the 2017+, but the suspension revisions become moot as I plan on getting some mild lowering springs. Seems some people prefer the 4.1 final ratio.

If you've driven both cars, which would you rather own?
