That being said, they are great for all season tires.

Awesome. Yeah I grew up in Fremont and went to u of w. just move from Queen Anne to Michigan and I miss Seattle alot. Michigan winters should be worse here but luckily less hills lol

I forgot about the BRZ when I test drove and bought a used Cayman S over the weekend.

Why the BRZ doesn't come in yellow is beyond me.

Why the BRZ has door-mounted mirrors, yet the Cayman does not, is also beyond me.

Yellow? Possibly in the next year or two. Subaru is playing it conservative initially.

Set up my Homelink with the garage doors. Yippy!

Funny I almost gave up on the BRZ and the day before I bought mine last week, I was looking at and drove a 2010 370Z Nismo that was at a Honda dealer. Was worried that it had 2 owners already and 17k miles. Plus no warranty. In the end I am glad I went with the BRZ.

I'd own a yellow BRZ so fast...Cayman too if I had the money for a new one.

I'd expect Toyota/Scion to offer the color before Subaru does, even if they are made in the same factory.

I agree. Scion had that "High Voltage" Tc. They will probably do something similar with the FR-S

Well, after a few winters there you might want to come back! But I doubt you'll miss all the grey days here.

I used to live back east and came to Seattle and did some post-grad stuff at the UW and am really happy to settle down here.

Good luck this winter with your BRZ. The car is so well balanced with snow tires I bet it does really well!

Picked up some crash bolts and washers for the diff.

Dipstik-sportech · 11-13-2012, 10:46 PM

Picked mine up and promptly put 100miles on it in 3hrs around town.

That's the thing...I doubt they'd release another yellow "Release Series" car so soon.

Washed it, changed the oil with Eneos 0W20, and installed the Berk track pipe.
