Took the BRZ for a test drive this afternoon. I couldn't believe how slow and lacking in torque the car was. I didnt have high expectations but came out quite disappointed. Promptly got my preorder deposit back from the dealer. I think another 100Nm of torque is what it needs.

Did you play in the twisties? This car is all about cornering rather than flat out acceleration.

That said, if you didn't like it then that is fine as it is you and only you that has to like it enough to buy it

Yeah handling was fantastic and the car sounded great! Interior felt a bit cheap though and the clutch could have been a bit heavier, my only other criticisms.

I actually found the interior to be quite nice FOR A TOYOTA

a bit cheap in places but overall feel was pretty good IMHO.

I have an 86 GT and it does have retractable side mirrors. There's a button next to the mirror adjuster.

lol the BRZ badge is just hideous - hopefully you can opt out of getting one

You've gotta add fixing that offensively ugly front on the BRZ to the $3k though.

Yeah, it is pretty rude with that Black plastic nonsense there. Otherwise looks very much the same (as it should really).

Bravo Subaru Australia!

Can't wait to see this system working as of tomorrow... perhaps Toyota will learn something.
If all cars were sold at full RRP, then you could order everything online and save the shitfight that usually ensues.. you know. what's your best price and then going to 5 other dealers to save $50....
Some of the stories that customers have told me over the years deserve to be published!

Seriously though, I hope it is a smooth experience.

Subaru website has been updated,

You can build and find out the price of a BRZ similar to their other vehicles.

The floor mats are an additional $175 and the Spare wheel carpet mat is an additional $175 too.

Premium pack 'Leather & Alcantra heated seats' are an additional $1,500.
