Been lurking for a while. I just ordered a white 2014 BRZ, so I thought it's time to start participating.

It's so funny hearing everyone's advice for breakin. Do what you feel is best and stop giving advice since 50 percent will tell you go through 1k-6k rpm.

True. But what Turkish wrote is true, as the same is written in the BRZ manual also. I'm following what the manual says, but a lot of times you might good tips from owners who have the car for some time.

It's always safer to learn from someone else's mistake!

Picked up mine in June. Love the fact that almost every day someone stops me with " nice car".

Hello from San Jose. I got my BRZ a couple of weeks ago. Cant wait to hit 1k miles, just hit 700 today. I am missing the power of my Audi, but drove HWY130(was shifting a lot to keep it under 4krpm) last weekend and the agility of this car makes up for the lack of straight line speed.

Just signed up after being a lurker for a while. Sadly no BRZ yet, hopefully I will be able to pick one up around March.

Hello all, I have been reading this forum a bunch as I researched what new car to buy. Well, two weeks ago I said goodbye to my 2000 2.5rs Coupe and hello to my 2013 BRZ and yesterday I finally registered here and stopped lurking.
