Not quite as far along as you are, but I just hit 10k last night! Picked mine up on May 28th, and I'd probably only be at about 8500 or so if I didn't have 2 trips to/from LA under her belt as well.

Subjective. I've driven mine all winter. Still looks new. Clear bra saves the front end, studded snow tires make it more than capable.

I'm almost at 6k miles, had it for 3 and 1/2 months.

Just curious: In six years I would like to see a comparison of two BRZs that were driven all year long, one in Alaska, one in Southern California.
Or, as an option about the same mileage.

Or you could compare Southern California to any other cold-weather location. Anchorage, Alaska, isn't THAT harsh. It's the craptastic drivers and poor maintenance on side streets that are potential threats.

I'd be surprised if I'm still in Alaska in 6 years OR still had the BRZ. haha

I've heard of higher miles. Couldn't tell you who. It was in one of the other similar threads.

Any problems with the car that came about later on?

Don't feel bad, early June delivery here and I'm only at 10,500. My car is taking all sub-40 degree days off. The Legacy is the one that gets driven in the winter.

Bought May 16, 2012.

9,800 miles here. And I thought I drove mine a ton! Couple road trips and leisure driving all the time. Gotta love these cars!

Now I feel better planning a 900 mile round trip road trip to PA this May or so!

That was proved false when someone said they saw an Instagram photo of a BRZ with 31K on it. So now my post seems a bit pointless. But really, lets face it, were on a car forum, talking about cars. Mostly were talking specifically about ideas about our cars, or some products for our cars. Is there a point to all this? Perhaps. But in the long run, probably not. Were you just being a ****, or did you really want an answer?
But this isn't very TL of you. Don't make me call Mike and have him take back your lazyboy... course he'd be too lazy to do that so I suppose that's an empty threat...

^ Ha!

Amazing what a long day at work can do to your fuse. That's about as forward as I'll ever get...promise. Back to the big chair for me.
