It's been a long time since I came on this forum but I saw the new BRZ and it got me thinking about a few things. When the BRZ first came out back in 2012, I was 27 and deployed in Afghanistan. I wanted to buy one with my deployment money; however, I got orders to Alaska so I bought a 2012 WRX instead.



Fast forward a few years, 2020 I just came back from S. Korea and I needed a car while my car was being shipped to the states from Korea. I bought a RSX Type S. Holy moly, is this car a 180 of my WRX. It has better steering feel (a lot heavier, a good thing), shifter feels much more mechanical, wants to dive into the corners easier.



Test drove a BRZ throughout the years, I was never really impressed but the FR platform and affordability kept me from straying to far. With this new update, I feel that I am ready to purchase the new BRZ. I am a big fan on how it looks and the updated engine looks good. The interior is far superior to the first generation. Now that I am 36, I am not looking to modifying it. Hopefully, there is a TS or a PP on the first years.
