First time that's happened with this car, didn't think it would make my day. Hah

Girls freaking LOVE this car. I've never had so much attention and interest in any car I've owned. My other car is a bright yellow supercharged ZO6. Girls HATE that thing with a passion. It's loud, smells, tons of brake squeal noise, blower noise, and it's cammed. To them, it seems to be the most obnoxious car in the world and I get nothing but heckling and angry faces and I drive it on the streets like a grandpa. Once I get back in the BRZ, driving the same way, the girls practically flock to it. Crazy.

"Is that the new BRZ? I hear you can take turns at 100mph I tell you what"

"I was thinking about getting an FR-S, but I might get the BRZ because it has more power"

"Why didn't you wait until the 2015 edition comes out with 300hp?"

I get looks all the time from a guy in an RX-8, dirty mean looks. That counts.

Numerous teenagers stop and stare.

But my personal favorite? I just finished fueling up my car and was putting everything into my Fuelly app when I hear, "I like the Soobie, man! Is that an Impreza?" I mean, I removed the rear badges, but... Does the BRZ REALLY look like an Impreza?

Oh, and college girls love it.

I was driving in a questionable area in Detroit. A blacked out Camaro started chasing me and were switching lanes trying to get ahead of me in traffic. When I decided to slow down. He pulled up next to me and rolled down his window just to give me a big smile and thumbs up.

It is definitely a head turner. Main thing is basically "Is that the new Scion? Why does it have a Subaru badge?" Best one I ever got was "Is that Subaru's FR....Z? I love it man." Had me rolling but I didn't have the heart to correct the guy.

Makes owning it even better than it already is.

Best one so far is the kid working at my bank in the drive through. He literally leaves his chair, walks over to the person who is helping me, and gives me the thumbs up..."nice car". Also, I love all the stares as i drive around town.

Njjawn · 04-26-2014, 01:55 PM

"Wow Nice car, how much did your parents pay for it?"
(They didn't)

"Nice frs"
(It's a brz)

"Dude so sick but you totally should have waited for the turbo STi model, my brother works for subaru he said it's coming out soon."

"Why do I pay you enough to afford this" -my boss

"Are you OBSESSED with it? Because like I LITERALLY am OBSESSED with it. Oh my GAWD it's freaking adorable" - my girlfriends roommate

I agree. My car turns a lot of heads but most of them are females. Maybe we drive girly or "Kawai" cars :'(

Yesterday some guy in a 240sx waived me down to give me a thumbs up and tell me my car sounded nice.

I had a solid 15min conversation at a gas station with a subie guy, pulled up in his outback and we car show'd each other's cars. It was funny.

My co-worker asked me how much the car was. He thought it was $55K and was floored when I told him what I actually paid.
