Smile Swedish Pure Red BRZ

Hello guys!

I have been hiding in the shadows here since even before i got my BRZ
And I felt it was the time to say Hi


I bought it new in July last year. and drove it over the winter before I did anything on it. (really fun winter car in the snow )

now lowered with BC Racing coils and the rims are JR 3.

I really love this car! had Megane R.s 265 before but this is by far more fun

Hi

Hi,

My real name is Daniel. I recently just got a Pear White 2013 BRZ limited AT
Honestly, I'm kind of new to the whole car scene. And, I'm kind of ignorant when it comes to cars. I heard Subaru had a nice knowledgeable community and support group so that also influenced my decision to buy Subaru. Truth be told I don't know were to begin. I still don't know what I'm looking for when I want to improve something. If anybody has ideas I would love to here them. Just wanted to say hi to all the peeps!

Hey guys, I just picked up my 2016 Limited last week, and I'm loving it. I haven't had this much fun in a road car for years.

I'm having trouble getting Pandora on my iPhone 6 to work with either bluetooth or USB connection to the head unit, but that's a small issue. This thing is a blast! I can't wait to get through the run-in period and use the full rev range.

Hi

I've had my BRZ since June last year, but I've been lurking since 2012 haha.

It's a 2015 Lightning Red Limited. I installed the STi lip, sideskirts, rear spats, replica diffuser (not pictured) and Grimmspeed front plate kit. Right now I'm waiting for my clear side markers, gurney flap, and my tint appointment

Hey! I got informed by the dealer that for some reason with iPhones, the only way to use pandora is when connected with an AUX cable on the 2016! Hope this helps

Howdy! I'm in Houston and bought my 2016 Hyper Blue last weekend.
It was smack in the middle of the showroom and they had to back a bunch of cars out the door so mine could exit... that was fun to watch.

I'm in love. My car loves the road, and the road loves my car.



3rd Subaru have owned. Traded in my Tribeca for this, since the kids are big and don't need to be hauled around anymore.
