The day finally came, last Thursday I went to Goulburn Toyota and picked up my brand spanking new GTS auto in Tornado Grey. Drove it out into the pouring rain and then home! It is absolutely brilliant, when not driving it all I want to do is look at it! Apologies for not posting earlier, I've been too busy driving, 600km already.
I did notice however that it was revving quite high on the drive home, and lurching a bit when changing gears, but the engine noise associated with high revs made up for it. What a noise! When I filled it up for the first time with 98 it doesn't do that revving anymore, and the gear changes are far smoother and theres a lot more pressure behind the acceleration. Note to dealers, don't put sh*t petrol in a brand new car.
I'd advise those of you still waiting to request picking it up dry and put in your own 98.
Also for those near Canberra, I just had the BRZ spoiler added to the boot by New Gel in Fyshwick. He did a half-arsed job with the wrong bolts, bent one side of the holes he made in the first boot layer and even dropped a screw in between the two layers of the boot lid, so there's a nice new rattle now. He couldn't have given less of a sh*t, advising that it might come off one day or it might not. Now I'm left to try and get the screw back out again. Plus he drove it around Fyshwick which I was less than impressed with leaving workshop powder all over the interior.
So for those looking to get a spoiler fitted in Canberra, don't go to New Gel.
I'm now onto fixing the issues he left behind (thinking magnet for the screw, plugs for the bent holes and super super glue to bolster the dodgy bolts), then it won't be long before the 1,000 km check. The sky's the limit after that.
For all of you still on the waiting list, I ordered in July, and it is absolutely worth waiting every minute, it is by far the best car I've ever driven and can't recommend it more. If you see a GTS on the road to Bungendore give me a wave.
Cheers,
SIGMA

What a d*ck!! I wouldn't have paid until he removed the screw!! My Dealer also has the Shell across the road where he first started over 40 years ago, the car was filled with V-Power 98, had 8km on the clock and just took off!! I checked the tyre pressures Monday, Toyota say 35 so I have 37psi hot in them now
Thinking about the BRZ spolier, looks good but see what happens!
Glad you love that sound that comes in around 4000rpm!!
