I graduated high school 20 years ago and was gifted a Toyota Camry by my parents. It was cheaper on fuel, tires, and insurance than the 86 / FR-S / BRZ. I could fit more people in the 4-door car and go on road trips. I didn't have to worry about keeping it washed and waxed and wiped down all the time. It was a much easier to leave that car parked in campus parking lots for hours than my BRZ is. And it was easier to blend in when I needed to.

I wouldn't get a BRZ unless I had excess income, saved money for down payment. BRZ's are not cheap. If insurance in Canada doesn't convince you, the other maintenance and fuel costs will.
