If you can afford it and feel comfortable with it, I would say yes. I came from a 2010 Cobalt SS turbocharged. Bit of downgrade in power and versatility, but upgrade in gas mileage and fun factor
And cheaper insurance. Car payments stayed about the same as well as now I'm starting back with a brand NEW car payment. I was halfway done with my previous car payment :\ But the reliability of the car was going downhill, therefore, I got the BRZ. No regrets.
