Yep. I compromised by giving up WRB for SSM in order to get my 2013. Might be tough to find a WRB without ordering.

Ordering may not be a horrible bet. Plus, I got the dealer to agree that if I was pushed to a 2014, they'd honor the same price agreed on for the 2013. Good luck! |

I heard that this dealer has terrible service, didn't think it would that bad until I had to wait almost 40 minutes for someone to talk to... I'm trying not to deal with them. I did find a dealer that would give me a deal.. but they only have a black one with ~2000kms on it, said they'll try to get a WRB one for me. I'm hoping for invoice or under for pricing at this point.. we'll see what happens. But if they can't get one in WRB for a good price then I might wait for the 2014. Those who had the car through the winter, did you have any issues with winter driving? Our last winter had temperatures around -40 in January with about a few feet of snow. Friend traded in his RWD car after that winter.. |

Wait for the 2014, to at least see what changes are being made. If not many, buy a 2013..

I had pre-ordered a Series 10 but upon seeing the color in person, I didn't like it. I went ahead and picked up a 2013 WRB BRZ. I got information from all dealerships that gave me quotes that the changes to the 2014 MY are very minor. Many of these dealerships didn't even have the color to sell so they werent trying to rope me in for a 2013. Finally picked up a MT over the weekend from NH for a great price.

I thought about the Scion Series 10 but it's too expensive here in Canada. Taxes in and everything else brings it to about $40k. I much rather get a BRZ. |

Yea but you realize every beats the BRZ/FRS all the time and drive them hard finding one in good condition under 50k will be a good idea, although it will probably be fine.

I picked up a 2013 BRZ limited one week ago (July 3) and couldn't be happier. My '00 Legacy GT was totaled after a shuttle bus ran a stop sign and took out the front end. So, I needed a car immediately. My dealer took great care of me, tracked down the exact car I wanted (Limited, 6 speed, light silver) which was brand new and sitting on another dealer's lot about 140 miles away. They delivered the car and I gave me a great price (under invoice, almost 2k under MSRP).
I was really concerned about the new 2014 coming out right after I bought the car, but the fact that they are not even being delivered until Oct/Nov (needed one right away) made me go for the 2013. Plus, the 2014 would likely be at or above MSRP. Finally, I did not want the (rumored) steering wheel buttons. |

I don't believe this is true. The only info we have seen from Subaru has been that the 2014 will have knee pads and Aha radio app standard.

Well in my area they have been close to the same price the entire year $25,417-$26000 the only difference is the APR % which dropped by 1%, maybe in one more month if they still have them on the lot they will drop $1000-$2000 but I have to wait. At least for when they start taking orders for 2014

Why the hell do you need steering wheel controls? The entire point of the car is driver feel that would detract from it.

Many people are used to having buttons on the steering wheel, and many people don't like the touchscreen head unit. Honestly, while I like the lack of buttons from a simplicity standpoint, I would take a couple at this point so I did not have to try and fiddle with the touchscreen when driving. And I am not talking about 20 buttons like some cars have. Like 4.
