I may get called crazy for this, but I don't think it's a good idea. The BRZ is a really good inbetween car. It handles extremely well but doesn't have a lot of power. It doesn't have low power though. The WRX has great power and torque, and no wheel spin - so it's very thrilling to drive. It handles great. Not extremely well, but it's great.

I think you'll find the WRX to be such a great generalist that the BRZ will not be unique enough to serve a purpose. The WRX handles really well, it gets excellent gas mileage, it hauls way more, it's much faster, it sounds the same but with the bonus of turbo noises and much higher power potential.

if you want an exciting secondary car, find something more niche than the BRZ. if you want exciting, light, and fun for 20k, look into a lotus Elise or Exige. Don't stifle this chance with a BRZ when you already have an excellent all around car.

Edit:; holy crap, JoeC and I were thinking the same. Glad I'm not alone.
