Hello,

Seriously looking at an 18' limited in WRB. I currently own a tuned 06 Mazdaspeed 6 (getting sold to a friend), 16' Jetta and 17' Sportwagen. I would be trading the Jetta in (owe 13750, offered 13k for it. Was 5 negative when purchased so I'm happy with this, other dealers offered ~10-12k) and the price they offered on the limited brz was 26825, plus the difference in tax title license. I told them if they give me 13.5 for the jetta I'd take it.

Thoughts? My car history: Stock EP3 Si -> Speed 3 tuned on e85-> 91 miata, kept NA for 3ish years, supercharged for a year-> Big turbo Speed6 (hit and totaled)-> Big Turbo EP3 SI-> Focus ST.

While I like speed, my favorite car was probably my miata. Even stock it felt peppy enough rolling through the gears, supercharging was fun (still not fast, maybe 150whp. I'd keep up with s2000s). I also thought the ep3 was peppy enough.

The BRZ would be a daily, I have a 25-75 mile commute daily, all windy back roads.

Thoughts? Anyone regret buying a new brz? When I started shopping I was looking at 20k lightly used premiums, but now I want a 2017 plus in WRB.
