My WRB BRZ is delivered!

I have that "vibrating" issue especially my Hondas are aging....I was looking to get away from it but I guess I cant
Hopefully the vibration doesn't get much worse on BRZ as it ages.

I don't think so. The reason your Hondas are vibrating more is likely due to the bushings wearing out. But this BRZ will likely have more solid bushings which will be more consistent over time. I don't like it either but I was expecting it and hopefully it won't be too bad and I can get used to it quickly enough.

I just remember seeing that and thinking Hmmmmmm. Forgot about it until I read the OP's review.

2 of my 3 Hondas vibrate as they got older....it drives me nut, its like an itch I can't scratch....if the BRZ and FRS have this "problem", I will hold out at least a year see if they would/can fix it....
I drove my friend 370Z and there is no vibration, maybe your 350 does this as it ages?

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but if a car has Vibration issues like this..It will only get worse as it Ages. I personally don't care..it's not a luxury car, as long as it doesn't pop out of gear i'm fine with it.

I think some stronger Motor/Tranny mounts would Go a long way in this car it seems. If it's a big enough issue, it'll be addressed for MY'14, or even mid cycle.

That makes sense....let hope for the best.....

Congrats dude! The car looks sweet in WRB!

pretty common on subarus, and on cars where the shifter is real close to the tranny. it's no big deal, you shouldn't be leaving your hand on the shifter while driving anyway. If that's a deal breaker for you, then you're missing out on a great car.
