Obviously both cars are great, and I absolutely love my GTI, and I am going to have a hard time saying goodbye to it. BUT, reasons 6, 7, and 8 are EXACTLY why I feel the need to make the switch at this time. I am not looking for an all around car (which we all know the GTI does amazingly). I am looking for a fun track toy, that can be used as a bad weather daily driver, so I don't have to use my other cars. I don't need to go on trips, or commute to work with it, and I will basically use it only a few thousand miles per year. I literally just need it to run random errands, go to bank, post office, lunch with friends, etc.
I will use it as a direct replacement for my GTI that I had for 7 years, and I have under 20,000 miles still! I have probably only needed the rear seats only 3 or 4 times, and I never filled the back up, other than for stuff to go to the track, and all my stuff will still fit in the BRZ.
I am probably going to head to the dealer on Tuesday to try and make a deal. The only thing that will stop me is if they try to get more than MSRP. I REFUSE to pay more than that. As a matter of fact, I never paid even close to MSRP in my whole life (I usually get under invoice), and I have bought many cars in my life (I have automotive ADD, lol). I feel like, in today's market, I would be ok going up to MSRP for a car, mainly because the value of my GTI also went up, so net/net, I would still add the same money to make the swap.
