To really test if there's an issue with 1-2 shift, take it upto redline. If there's a problem you won't be able to get it into 2nd gear. Keep looking. Hope a better condition car comes your way. |

My 2013 FR-S, with the original transmission oil, shifts quite smoothly, even when it's cold. And yes, for comparison, I have many shifts, from many vehicles, under my old suspenders ..... humfrz |

Could be the climate ....... where is "The 6" ...??
Up here in Washington we have the ideal climate for transmission oil ..... rarely gets very hot, rarely gets very cold.......transmissions love it ..... As far as opinion, I have only shifted one other MT that was smoother ....my 2006 Miata (5 speed). I hear tell that the S2000 has an even smoother shifting transmission....... humfrz |

I know a guy that resides in Bellevue (your neck of the woods) and one time he came back to visit and I let him drive my car. He said his AP1 S2000 does indeed shift even smoother albeit very similar shift throws (his stock Honda shifter vs my STI short throw shifter). |

where is "The 6" ...??
Thats a Toronto Raptors thing from the playoffs last year. Comes from our old original area code 41(6). Don't ask why, perhaps because their development team (farm league) is called the 905 (which is the biggest suburb area code near Toronto and the farm team venue is in the burbs). Sorry Seattle lost their team, but they did very well last season in Oklahoma. My 9 yr old is a basketball savant, knows stuff as far back as when I was a kid.

Miata's are a different story, most owners do not know what they have or how much it's worth. I paid $2000 for a 95 with 125k miles, hardtop, coilovers, ARB's, stock and aftermarket wheels. sold the hardtop for $800 in a day, sold the coilovers and put a better set that I had on the shelf, then sold the OEM wheels. Bam $500 track toy. |

Look at prices on new cars. I'm sure you could get a crazy deal on a 2016 right now.
I think the blue one that was shared is better than the two you've seen. Generally speaking people don't really care much about leases. As far as winter tires go you're probably better off buying your own anyways. How does the salesman know there's 70% tread left? Different tires start with different tread depths. Take your time with it. I don't think either of the two cars you're looking at are really worth it. Do you like white? Buy this ones! http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/c...ationFlag=true I find a BRZ that isn't Sport Tech weird, but this is a little cheaper http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/o...ationFlag=true There's also this one! http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/s...ationFlag=true Unless you're sold on the look of the FRS, look into Sport Tech BRZ. Especially used, you're getting much more for essentially the same price!

You can convert the miles but don't use the conversation to US dollars in judging value. He isn't paying in US dollars so a dollar is a dollar for him since there is no exchange involved.

Too little to go on to give a valid opinion really. Being a lease it has a reduced chance that it was modded (still a chance though) and the mileage is pretty normal. Have you actually seen it in person?
