Finally in the market for a BRZ - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

chuy21 · 01-27-2013, 05:15 AM

So I was driving to work on friday night, about 3 miles from my house a nice friendly deer wanted to say hi to me. I was doing about 50mph and swerved to avoid the deer but I didnt see the little doe behind it. Hit the doe it went under my car and cause me to hit a tree. Heres the aftermath.

Finally drove a brz today (auto) and im waiting for my dealer to start taking orders on the 2014 models

2014 model is the same as 2013.

Ouch, that sucks man. Oh well, you'll be a lot happier once behind the wheel of a BRZ!

Meehow86 · 01-27-2013, 03:28 PM

Poor doe. Glad you're okay, things could have gone a lot worse if it went over your hood and possibly through your windshield.

2014 model year doesnt start for at least 5 or so months.

chuy21 · 01-27-2013, 06:30 PM

I have a gsx I can drive untill details of the 14' model year is released. I'm sure I remember tada saying this car would be updated every year. I ended up with whiplash and a concusion.

well pretty sure they'll fix some of the problem that 2013 had...... no fix yet XDXDXD

and you think they won't pass those fixes down to 2013 owners under warranty? (HPFP, etc?)

Plenty of '13s around in the colder climates, I'd say negotiate yourself a good deal and if '14 is better '15 will rock so you can upgrade in 18 months if that's important to you.

I picked up my BRZ from Subaru of Jacksonville FL, they had 9 in stock! I took a WRB Limited fully loaded. They still have 6 instock for all who are seriously looking to by one.

Probably because most people don't want to drive a tiny RWD sports coupe in the winter. I won't purchase this car until I own a home with a garage to put it in during the winter.

I doubt we'll see any changes for 2014 except the fixes the '13s get under warranty. They've spent enough time fixing the issues that I doubt they focused on changes to a car that gets glowing reviews as is.

Agreed. I'm secretly hoping that the changes will be similar to the S2000 model years (ie, small subtle changes). That way we don't feel screwed for our purchase. No power bump please (similar to GSR to Type-R). :happy0180:
