5 Speed. Surprisingly fun.

Also, the number one stolen vehicle in the US, so you know it's good:

haha, you still need a license to drive this beast!

But in all seriousness it's just about perfect for me, being that I live only about 3.5 miles from work where there happens to be no parking availability ever.

Plus, it's hard to argue with 65mpg, $6 annual insurance, and how surprisingly fun it is to ride. Gives the FR-S more gas money to burn through on trackdays

I agree with that! I had a ruckus but they wanted an astronomical amount to get it insured so I sold it.

I can light the tires in third gear around 40mph and hold em spinning until about 70mph. It's amazing what 60psi of boost and plenty of fuel will do.

We DD the BRZ 3 seasons. The "adult car" is the wife's Golf TDi wagon. Makes a passable towing machine. We got a lot of funny looks today towing our garden shed from home up to our cottage. It isn't exciting but it eats up the miles.

I bought an old beat up 93 model 2.2 camry with a broken windscreen for only $50.
It had done 298000kms , so the plan was to use it for teaching my two sons to drive.
It has become the family dd and now has done 380000kms.
My sons girlfriend and her father managed to prang it twice and insurance repaired it.
Now that it has a fresh coat of paint the new plan is to teach my third son to drive.
Toyota reliability is amazing.
I hope that BRZ can last this long.
