these are my first impressions.(pictures to follow)
Love the seating position.
Love the visibility
Love the MT and how it slips into gear
Steering wheel feel is great, but slightly thicker wheels would have been perfect
Everyone talks about the engine sound, but it is not there. It sound decent, but there is no note
Love the WR blue. I was getting nerveous about my choice, but now I am sure it is the right color for me
There is no feeling driving it in a stright line, but in HWY 9 it came alive.
Most importantly, I put two car seats it the back and they fit just fine. My 5 and 7 year old were begging for more leg room. It is okay for around town, but long trips even kids will not be able to stand it.
It is going to be parked in the garage for a week until I get back from my trip. I will write more then.
No regerets so far :happy0180:

congrats! My car has the same eta as yours... did you by chance notice if there were any other brz's there? Once again congrats!

So, looks like I won't be going to Washington after all. Just got done filling out paperwork with Carlsen Subaru. If all goes well, I'll be taking delivery of their SSM Limited 6MT in about a week or so. Larry Fung emailed me yesterday to let me know the car was available and at the dealership, and asked if I was interested. Showed up first thing this morning, got everything sorted out, and assuming the financing goes through (no-one around to approve on a Sunday), I'll be all set!

Once I have the keys in hand, my DGM Premium 6MT preorder at Stevens Creek will be available if anyone is interested. :P

Is yours coming on 6/4?

What made you switch from the other car?

It's already at the dealership, I checked it out in person this morning. It's the first BRZ they've officially sold. I switched mainly because at both of the other dealerships I had put my name in with, neither of them had an ETA anytime soon.

My order at Stevens Creek is something like 26/35, and the order I took over up at Puyallup Subaru is still waitlisted, even though it's #4. They haven't even ordered the car yet, they're waiting on the next allocation to their dealership.

I'd rather not wait months potentially when I can have the car in a week. (It's only taking that long because they're putting LoJack in and doing a full PermaPlate treatment.)

Cool!

It must have been the first car that arrived, and the person backed out.

My DGM gets there on 6/4! Also working with Larry.

I saw a couple of DGM Premiums in the back with the SSM Limited, might one of those be yours, or did you go Limited as well?

They said they received 4 on 5/25 (they just couldn't get a hold of me!)
They have already delivered 3 including mine, but the fourth person did not qualify for loan.
It is sitting in their show room (WR limted, I am just not sure if it is MT or AT).
It is up for sale. They have a $3k markup on it, but I think they will let it go at MSRP. That is what I paid for.

BTW, I must report that my experiance in buying my BRZ from Stevens creek subary was excellent. They did everything they said they would do and there was no surprises or drama. I hope everyone ends up with the same experiance.

First off, HUGE congrats, guys! Nice looking WRB!

But you confuse me, thread is about Capitol Subaru, and you guys are with Stevens :-) Got me too excited, till I saw you worked with a different dealer :-)

Again - CONGRATS!
