Hi, hopefully new frs owner soon.

I currently have a 2007 350z enthusiast with 7300 miles, ultimately would like to trade someone for a low mileage manual frs, but carmax is offering me 21,500 so I will most likely sell it soon and just pull the trigger on a clean white frs.

Hey what's up! Bored and tired of my 1999 323i and saving up for a FR-S or BRZ in the future. (Maybe my plans will change though but we'll see, might as well try to learn more about them on this forum until i'm ready to buy a new car).

Hey all,

Nice to see a dedicated and growing 86 forum. Will be exciting to see more content as more of us get our vehicles but so far so good! Anyway, no pictures of the car yet but I'll try to get some up before too long. Happy holidays all!

Don't want to ask in the introduce yourself thread, as that's not really what it's for. Ohh well.

Maybe later.

Still can't create my own thread to ask, so I'll have to ask here.

I sat in a BRZ Limited that the dealer had in the show room. The seat was all the way down at it's lowest setting. I had plenty of headroom left over, probably 3-4 inches.

I went to the Scion dealer and test drove an FR-S. Also had the seat at the lowest setting, but barely fit in the car height wise. My hair was almost brushing on the roof. Test drove it anyway and really liked it.

My question is, is there any difference in the 'mounting' height of the seats between the FR-S / BRZ Limited / Premium? Do the seats in the BRZ Limited sit lower than the other cars? I'm not really that tall. 5' 11" or so. Didn't think that there would be so little room in the FRS.

Thanks.

Hello. Recently picked up a 2013 Subaru BRZ CBS premium. Went from a 2007 S2000 to this due to an accident. I love the BRZ but love my S2000 a bit more. I have a few things I would like to do to the BRZ next year.

I am Jacksonville, Florida and hope to see some locals pop up.

Welcome. Stock isn't bad with this car. I'd say you definitely want to learn what you can about the car before you start changing things. Otherwise you never know if you are making it better or worse.

So far I've been using plasti-dip to fend off the mod bug but I'm not sure how much longer that will last. ^_^

I've owned 3 STI's so I know where you are coming from. I love my BRZ since it suites the needs I have now. It's great to have a car that gets great mileage but is still a blast to drive and isn't incredibly common!

Didn't infer that these stock vehicles were lame yet nothing I own stays showroom virgin. To each shall they desire

Thought I'd finally say hi after lurking about for a while.

Almost ready to pull the trigger on a BRZ after a lot of research. Had a 2008 Evo X MR that left the fleet in disgrace so a replacement is overdue.

Hi there!!

I'm new - just got my BRZ about a month ago. Ordered it in July, picked it up in early December. SWP manual, limited, and let me just say I am IN LOVE with this car!! Best decision I've ever made

Now that I'm an official BRZ owner, I thought I should say hi! Looking forward to learning a ton from you guys
