Unfortunately, the new car smell has disappeared and the Little Trees New Car Scent is not cutting it. I only had the car for 6 months and I got a pretty good deal, so I wouldn't lose much if I traded it in. This is only something I am considering because I have the money and I do drive for fun, but this is definitely not something that I need.

I was watching a video on YouTube the other day and they mentioned that the average age of a BRZ/86 owner is around 35 and I am assuming a lot of members on this forum are younger than that, including myself. A lot has changed for me since I had the FRS. I am no Transporter, but I would like to think that my driving skills have improved and I would really be able to push the BRZ and enjoy it.

I have considered other vehicles such as the new 2019 Miata RF, but I heard the Miata has a lot of body roll. Most of the other vehicles are out of my price range and don't handle as well. I care more about handling than raw power. Upgrading or tuning the Si is an option, but I don't want to spend money on upgrades when that money could offset the hit I would take if I decide to trade in the Si.
