17 year old looking for BRZ as a first car.

I'm willing to bet this kid is gonna pay over $250 a month on premium insurance for his frs.

Absolutely. I meant due to the fact that I'm a new driver in a sports car, not because of the car itself.

Do it, these guys are all just jealous that they didn't get the same opportunity.

I'm 28 and paying 200$. Only because my ex wife destroyed my credit. I'm also paying 580 a month, also because her credit. Should be back up by next summer so I'm going to re finance and insure.

Funny though when I was 19 in 2006 I bought my first car, an 05 Corolla S, payed 350$ a month. Last car before my credit got destroyed I was paying 90$ for my abarth and 140$ for my wrx.

Credit makes a big diff, being underage and no credit sucks. Which is why a kids first car shouldn't ever be expensive or special, and parents buying kids cars and paying their insurance IMO sits them off into the real world horribly.

It's fine but why not just get a used Porsche Cayman so you can pick up more chicks?

Bullshit.

My first car at age 17 was a 1994 Camaro Z28 with a 5.7 liter LT1 V8. It had far more power than a FR-S/BRZ, a solid rear axle, no traction control, and far more tire-smoking potential.

And I drove it perfectly safely for years. I was never involved in an accident of any kind, and never got a single speeding ticket in it.

It's all about the intelligence and responsibility of the driver. If you're not an asshat, it will be a fantastic first car. If you are, well, all bets are off.

Why their insurance sucks. For a reason, most are at the show off age and haven't had any bad experience yet to make them think twice.
