Hell no

slidethis · 12-28-2012, 02:50 PM

Why would I...Since I've been waiting for this car more than 2 years. I know what I was getting myself into. I could've bough a lexus is250, but I didn't. Love this car cause it's straight in your face, ITS JUST A CAR

kludger · 12-28-2012, 02:52 PM

0 regrets here... the only regret I have is that life doesn't leave even more hours available to drive this awesome car.

Jayde · 12-28-2012, 02:53 PM

If you consider the face that I can't store mine in a garage at night or that I have to drive it in the winter, or that I worry about other people parking next to me in my parking lot, then I do regret a little bit. I didn't car about any of that when I had my old car. But I love driving the BRZ!

peachsnow · 12-28-2012, 03:27 PM

This car is simply amazing.. No way did I regret buying an FRS. Get it!

strat61caster · 12-28-2012, 04:55 PM

Redo this poll next year. Still too soon, too many honeymooners.

Laika · 12-28-2012, 04:59 PM

Oh cool. I was #86 to say No

Dake · 12-28-2012, 05:09 PM

No buyers remorse so far. But yeah - I'm still in the honeymoon phase. I look forward to driving it, even to work, and I actually miss driving it on days off when I don't have somewhere to go!

BlaineWasHere · 12-28-2012, 05:27 PM

I've already got 16K miles and NO.

But I knew exactly what to expect (and not expect) out of the car. The people who are disappointed are people who are expecting the car to be something it's not.

Kilzod · 12-28-2012, 05:42 PM

Anyone who regrets purchasing something like a car didn't do their research to see whether the car truly fit their needs. Seeing as this is the FR-S/BRZ/GT86 enthusiast forum I highly doubt you'll find anyone who regrets this purchase.

Indestruct · 12-28-2012, 06:26 PM

The car is great. But then my job relocated me to Oakland, and honestly my 1994 impreza w/281k miles sees more use than my BRZ does. Heck even my 1984 scooter serves it's purpose better than my BRZ. The BRZ isn't meant for a high crime/pot hole riddled city life. That said I'm trying to find more reasons to use it.

shishand · 12-28-2012, 06:43 PM

only money wise as im a student, but still no way in hell returning this baby. other wise heck no.

Sigh-on-Rice · 12-28-2012, 07:22 PM

I have a tail light condensation, noisy HPFP, and a noisy rear deck (almost fixed), but I have no regret.

matthewl · 12-28-2012, 07:30 PM

No regrets. Love the car. Most fun to drive since my '67 Austin Healey 3000 & handles
way better.
