They look good, and seriously durable. All the best with your breaking-in and mods. It's good to have input from a current (and the only so far on forum?) owner.

I know! There should be more UK owners by now...maybe they're too busy enjoying the car to post on the forum. End of July can't come soon enough for me

Actually , I don't think there are many registered yet; think August will be different though

Worth the wait

Well, I got my BRZ yesterday, and I've put about 200 miles on it so far. Might go for another drive once I've posted this ...

Anyone got any questions about the car?

Do a thread ; great to hear about UK owner experiences

And keszki is right; you can never have too many pics

I'll be opening my tuning thread shortly

Does anyone know if the BRZ or GT86 is available to order without the rear spoiler? I much prefer the look of no spoiler and since it would be the first new car purchase in my life, naturally I would want it exactly to my tastes.

Not right now. You'll have to wait for Subaru to bring out the cheaper spec next year.

Went to the launch on 12th July, twas lots of fun.

Here's how we got on:





And finally after much video and speeches, here it comes!



This one had half leather/alcantara with heated seats. £1600 option but you kind of have to really I think. Was nice.



One for the rear light fans:



My friend Tom tried out the rear for size whilst I sat up front. Verdict was, it's fine for giving lifts back from the pub, but the would be about it. I tried it in the back too. There really is very little room. No good for long journeys. But, I have passengers in the back of my car about twice a year and reckon it'd be nice and cosy for Indy!




Well, it's not often you get the honour of having your car in the showroom for a launch!



Love this one as it's with the man from Toyota Japan guarding my AE86.



View from the rear:




Well, you would, wouldn't you?



Overall it was good fun and I love the car. Next stop, test drive!

Edit: I now have a test drive organised for Sunday.
