Thanks! CBS MT Limited. I was going back and forth between WRB and CBS. Planning to get some tint to cut the Atlanta heat back a bit

CBS looks great!

I'll probably get 3M Crystaline, which is supposed to cut down the heat quite a bit, even at lighter tints. It's not the cheapest, but might be worth it.

Congrats to both chandz05 and kwood9000. I've been watching to see when the ATL would see some deliveries ... seems like ages, but so worth the wait! Looking forward to seeing you on GA-400.

Glad to hear everyone's getting theirs! Just curious, since I'm looking at getting a FR-S soon... what made you choose the BRZ over the FR-S? The brand? The front bumper/lights? Or was there something about the interior/suspension?

Was it enough to justify the slight bump in price?

TIA!

For me it was an easy decision.

My wife and I love the Subaru World Rally Blue (WRB) color, the looks of the front bumper/lights, the dual climate control (my wife always wants it colder), nav system, keyless entry, etc. Consumer Reports also just rated Subaru the highest in reliability.

I was also considering the FR-S. To me, the the options/interior upgrade of the BRZ is definitely worth the price, especially since I will be using the car as a DD. That was the driving factor that led me to get a limited trim BRZ.
Also, the general experience me and my family have recieved from Toyota dealerhips that we've visisted/dealt with in the past and recently have been sub-par, at best. Subaru dealerships, on the other hand, seem more friendly and "customer caring" from what I've seen so far.

I definitely know what you mean about the sub-par Toyota experiences. Doesn't sound like kwood9000 had a good experience at Stivers Subura from above.. I guess dealership treatments can vary drastically no matter which brand you're at.

I assume you bought from Subaru of Atlanta.. in Roswell? based on your posts above? Did you try any other Subaru dealerships?

Actually im also buying from Stivers. The only "bad" thing i can honestly say about them is the markup on the car. so far, they've kept to their word with whatever they've told me (August delivery, pricing etc) and have always replied to emails/ phone calls.
I can say though that Troncalli and Subaru of Kennesaw are great to work with. I originally inquired with them about the car, but all their allocations were already spoken for at the time. But then months later, they call/email me asking if I was still interested since someone backed out. I was pretty surprised that they did that.

That's great to know.. Honestly, I could go with either a FR-S or BRZ, as long as the experience is good, and I get exactly what I specify.

Thanks for sharing your experiences chandz05!
