I'll come say hi the next time I'm in for service!

I do all of my servicing there because John is the MAN, and has helped me out huge in the past and saved me lots of money. I also used to work with Aeric (the technician) so I will trust no other dealership with my car. Service is always second-to-none.

Good luck in your new position!

Well here's a first hand owner experience. Just a month ago I traded my stage 2, 2010 wrx for my BRZ and have not looked back or have a second thought.

My wrx had full exhaust intake and tune, was quite quick. And great practically... But I never loved it. Hard to explain loll It's in the point and squirt category, it'll go like a stabbed rat on straights but it wasn't fun or fulfilling to drive as a driver's car it rolled and pitched, it lagged, shifter was not great, it slipped (sti has lsds) . it felt way too loose... And the work needed to get it where I needed it didn't make sense... Plus burning oil loll that's something you need to look for if buying used. Now all of that could be better in the STI but I don't think it'll take it to another level of being a proper drivers car.

My BRZ I wholeheartedly adore all of the check marks ticked on top of its gorgeous looks. No need to elaborate loll. The power isn't an issue for me but personal preference. And I drove it just fine in the ice storm we recently had.

Now I'm going to tell you which to buy lol... Get the wrx/sti... Just one thing alone you mentioned throws the brz off the list. Back seats, if you use them that often get the wrx the brz won't work. In my 1.5 years of owning my wrx I used the back seats once! So I don't need it.

Hope info helps some if any.


P.s I'm going to be looking to buy sti parts for my BRZ got hookups?

Thanks for that in depth explanation, I've got to go back to the drawing board and re-evaluate some things. PM me for parts and I'll see what I can do lol.
