That is the danger of paper evaluations. The any car is greater (or lesser I suppose) then the paper stats. Number do not mean a lot when looking at the whole car and how all the parts interact. Numbers are theory and cars are application and the two do not always accurately reflect each other.

Take a look at the BRZ forum right now, a refreshed look for the BRZ has surfaced. You'll be able to choose between 4 styles if you want to wait.

I missed the sun roof at first, but got used to it. The back seat is way smaller. On the 86 when you step on the gas, it takes a second but will GO! It feels like an updated GTS to me, but a little smaller, which doesn't bother me because I'm only 5'2". The thing that does bother me about the 86 is the seat belt. It cannot be adjusted and I had to buy a seatbelt adjuster clip or it would decapitate me! I love both cars. I sold my GTS to a co-worker and she still drives it. It has 115K on it now and is still going.
