The back seat flips down?
Four or five golf bags can be accommodated.

Or he just needed an excuse for why he couldn't buy the car and didn't want to give anyone the satisfaction of admitting he just didn't like it. |

This car's not for everybody. That's okay. I primarily posted what I did as a challenge to get you to stop whining about how far you had to go and just go drive the damned thing and decide for yourself. If you had liked it, great. If not, now you know and can focus on something closer. |

Was hoping the BRZ would work out but as I tend to keep cars 10 plus year, I know the trunk size would become an issue. It is a great car, just not for me. |

My issue is your assumption someone would hate a car based on what they had previously test drove and because they don't want to spend 3 hours to find out they don't like a car. |

They were willing to order you the car? It may not be a Porsche but being able to order would've meant you could actually choose whichever options and color you wanted. Sure you'd need to wait a couple months for it, but are you really that impatient? Well, you must be if driving one or two hours for a test drive is such a big problem. Also, saying a car is niche and that having to order shouldn't be a problem is pretty ironic. The whole idea of something being niche, IMO, is that it's unique and not something easy to find/get ahold of. Actually, the definition of 'niche' literally means "specialized variant" of a thing, in this case a car, which exactly fits a special ordered car. I've seen people on this forum who said they winded up going with whatever color they saw and because they just wanted the car and some regret not getting some other color. So the dealers were trying to help you make "the right decision". But okay, let's complain about all the things.

It's hilarious that guy would vomit up that diatribe accusing the rest of the forum of being defensive, parochial and generally close minded, where if he was not exactly that, he never would have bothered to type anything at all. |

I'm not really willing to spend several hours out of my day just to drive somewhere far to see whether or not I liked the car. You take 1-2 hrs one way, 10-15min test drive, 1-2hrs back. That's almost half the day gone just being on the road. It can get tiresome for some people, especially older folk (I would assume this guy is). Then what, you go out find out the trunk is too small for your taste...he's supposed to just get it because its a sports car and who cares about the trunk? Theres an FRS release series 2.0 about 4hrs away from me. I'd actually be willing to go to it (cuz im pretty much invested in getting one of the twins), but i'd need to find the right time, and i'd have to be pretty sure I want THAT car since I want to make that trip worthwhile to me (go there, get it, drive it back) Some of you are assuming hes fully invested in the car from the get go, in which case it would constitute some sort of whining. I don't think he was fully invested in it (just a top option on his list of options) so it all starts with a test drive. If he doesn't have that how is he going to know if he likes the car or not? |
