Thank you and great question.

I fall in love with my BRZ more and more each and every time that I drive it. In one of the Motor Trend Video's they made a comment that getting out of many Super cars and into the BRZ was not a let down in terms of fit and finish, I agree 100%. Albeit that the BRZ is down on power it makes up for that in light weight, road feedback, and unadulterated fun.

Hands down I love my BRZ and I made the best decision for me and my family in purchasing this car as a DD. My wife is absolutely in Love with her Forester XT and she loves the fact that it is as powerful as it is, lol… Subaru is at a great point in their development right now.

BTW, My kids love riding in it and I am 6' 1"… I don't get all the complaints about the room…

I did live in Japan for 10+ years so maybe I just got use to tighter spaces?!?!?!

Interesting topography in the background. Any good roads through those hills? Where are the trees?

SoCal has a ton of fun mountain roads. I live about 5 miles from Angeles Forrest, which is a blast to drive the Twins through. Although, our crappy car laws out here can kill the experience.

Thanks very much for the feedback, it was exactly what i was hoping you'd say lol. I had my first test drive of a 10 series the other day and it felt special just standing next to it. The drive was awesome and i can appreciate this car for what it is; light affordable and fun sports coupe .

Lets see how long before the mod bug makes deeper roots.

Question for you Nate, when you are driving in your BRZ do you ever wish you were driving your GT-R instead or vice versa? Just curious lol.

This is a great question, lol. The short answer is yes.

However, it is yes but for both cars though. I generally miss the GT-R every time an arrogant Muscle head revs his engine at my BRZ or when some old BMW or Porsche raises their nose at it… I miss the BRZ sometimes too though… The GT-R is honestly hard to drive slow. What I mean is that I cannot stop flooring it. I mean HOLY CRAP is it fast but the stress involved with going anywhere. Where do you park, will the people next to me crash into me, will I get keyed.

At the end of the day these are two of the best cars to be lucky enough to own in a lifetime and I am fortunate enough to have both of them.

Life is good!

-Nate

After getting my car the first thing that I did was to install the weather tech mats. The fitment on these is amazing. This is money well spent for sure.
I may need to get the trunk mat, I do IT work and even in the 5 days ive had this car the back is full of dust from putting peoples computers back there.

Anyways, all nice cars

Been wanting to drive a GTR for a long time, ive driven a clients stock V10 R8 and Ive heard they were somewhat comparable.

I had a chance to go out with my BRZ's garage mate last night. I ran the 1/8th mile. Had a Vette line up and got him.

Cheers,
