Thanks for sharing.

The Premium interior is livable/ok, but the Limited is so much nicer.

Depends on price. If the price is lower than we expect, I bet many of us will try to swing the limited. More than we expected; go for the premium or another car?

Honestly I am thinking WRB or SWP as well. But from the pics, the WRB has the SWP beat.

Zaku · 02-19-2012, 09:02 PM

When ever I think I want a Silver BRZ premium... the Red one shows up ...

The problem is both dealers Ive talked to are putting in the orders BEFORE pricing is revealed. So I need to make up my mind in the next week or so..

haha also thanks for all the help picking colors/trim guys

Hello All,

Just got back from Pittsburgh where I saw the car pictured. They were not letting anyone inside the roped off area, but I told them I've been following the car for awhile and had driven a fair distance and if I returned just before closing, could they help me out? They said they would see...

Just before closing, I went back and they did let me sit in the car and check out the trunk area for a bit. Sorry, no pics, but I will concur with all the comments that the interior is quite decent. The seating position is low, but not THAT low - felt a lot like Miata or 370Z height to me and way higher than an Elise, but still with good helmet room for me. I will also concur that the rear seats are useless for adults. I'm right at 6' in shoes (~33" inseam) and with the drivers seat adjusted for me, there was about 2-3" of rear leg room. I didn't even try sitting back there.

One really important thing to me is the cargo area, since I like to haul bicycles with me almost everyday and I prefer to haul them inside the car for various reasons. The trunk pass through measures 40" wide by 13.5" high and is very rectangular. Again with the seat adjusted for me, there is 57.5" of length available from the back of the drivers seat to the rear edge of the trunk. Fitting either a road or mountain bike is looking very promising. Also, I don't think I would have to compromise my driving position in order to place a single wheel/tire horizontally behind the driver's seat, though a two-high stack might force the seat more forward than I'd prefer.

FWIW, I was told by the Subaru rep they are only planning on importing a total of 3,000 to the US for this year, they'll be in dealerships in May, and the price will start in the mid 20's. I would take all of that with a big grain of salt based on some of the other things he said, which I won't repeat.
