The passenger side's visibility is wonderful, but I'm having a bit of issues on the driver's side. The way I have my seat set up, I really have no view of the back side window with the B pillar in the way. I'm still waffling between leaning forward a lot and looking behind, or moving my head to get more visibility with the mirror. It's not as bad as my brother's S2000 (from what I recall), but it's not very natural for me... at least not yet.

i was just looking at the compilation thread for gbs! ive always wanted a dark blue car as thats my fav color. but i like the white pearl. then of course black is always sexy(when its clean) and possibly even dgm. id like to see it in person. come fall when im ready to purchase the dealer better have one of each side by side or ill never be able to make a choice without second guessing myself

I've added a few extra photos to my original post since there was a decent sunset today. Enjoy!

Nice, thanks. I was thinking of doing something similar when I finally get my car.

I cannot see the new pics for some reason.

Oops, my work computer is the problem. Open fine on phone. Nevermind.

Great review! Since the write-up have you had any regrets? Do you wish you got another color/trim? A dealer nearby e-mailed me telling me they have 4 premium BRZ's coming in next month that aren't claimed for, but I don't know if I want to settle for the premium or wait and hope to get a limited in a few months.

New photos look great, pretty exciting. A part of me is still personally hesitant with the price so close to the WRX. Differences aside, I get my sports car but I'd still have room to transport friends.
