Subaruwrxfan's WRB BRZ Limited

[was385]

please don't post pics of it with the tint! I know I'm going to end up spending the money when I see how good it looks.

Well I've driven about 180 miles today on it, love it. Did some very spirited back roads driving tonight, the car really showed it's stuff. The suspension and brakes blew me away. Keeping the car under 4k still so can't comment on power, but there is awesome torque between 2500-3500 that I'm not used to having after coming out of my turbo legacy, always had a little lag, then the torque came on.

I've really fallen in love with the wheels, might keep them on the car forever, I really love the way they look, the sliver parts on the rim are actually much darker. I'd say the 2 colors on the rims are black and gunmetal/dark gray. They look fantastic. Paint felt really good, I've noticed the clunk when putting it into first gear, and all of the gears feel a bit more "mechanical" I guess than I'm used to. Also hear more sounds under the hood and stuff, for example it sounds like a diesel when you slowly drive off from a stop, things like that. Love it though, gonna put another 150 miles or so on it tomorrow.

Everybody has been loving the seats too, they hug me perfectly and have been comfortable all day, no discomfort. The few friends that sat in the car all loved the seats, especially my 2 friends with S2000s. Here's some crappy pics from my phone from tonight's cruise. Have a video of this shoot that will be posted in a day or two. Almost looks like GBS in these pics!

+1, the wheels look really good in person.

Sure thing! I'll do a full feature video of the nav early this week. I used the nav yesterday to drive about 150 miles and it amazed me, way better than the nav in my 2006 Legacy and I'd argue that with the touchscreen it's even better than the luxury car companies systems. The nav interface is way faster and more responsive than that first video that was posted a while ago. It's a really nice unit, and I don't have any complaints at all.

Here's a vlog with some of my impressions after driving the car 360 miles.

Thanks! I will definitely keep them coming!

The car now has 720 miles on it. Took it down to school with me for the last 3 weeks of my summer class. Car was great, lots of looks from people, it's funny. The best one was this dude that first did a jaw-drop then gave me a huge smile and thumbs up. It was hilarious to watch. I see this stuff when I ride around in my friend's lambos and stuff, but to see it in the BRZ is really cool.

Rain in the forecast for tomorrow so I'll probably film the full tour video of the car on Wednesday.

Here's a little video from the short night photoshoot I posted pics of a couple days ago:

So the car just passed break-in period last night, and man it's great to finally be able to use the whole engine. Posted a video of my first redline runs:

A few more impressions of the car. On this recent trip I drove a little over 300 miles and the mechanicals all felt a little "loose", as in not as solid as the car does on short trips. Might just be mental, but it just sounds like more things rattle under the hood if you've been driving the car a while. No driveability issues though. *shrug* Really starting to get to know the car well now, and it's been exactly one week that I've owned it. The more I drive it the more I love it. I'm always jumping at a chance to go out and drive. I've been getting 32 mpg recently, so gas is great, and with the small gas tank, fill-ups are normally 10-15 bucks less than it costs to fill up my legacy, so it's light on my wallet too.
