I bought my BRZ/FR-S, but I almost bought...

[kykiee]

I had a wide range of cars that I was looking to get. I was going to get the Scion FR-S(had a deposit down for one), but I got my hands on a BRZ Limited instead =D

How about, "I bought my BRZ, but I almost bought engine upgrades for my car?"

Cobalt SS turbocharged is nice, but torque steer gets real annoying. That and the horrible overall quality of the vehicle. Not to mention the body roll/flex.

I almost bought a Nismo 370, but the dealer refused to budge on the price.

Had a deposit for an Scion FR-S Asphalt MT. Still shopping around, almost put a deposit down for an Golf R, was only able to test drive the GTI and R review with various car magazines were pretty bad all around. Also the Golf VII was going to be released soon.

Looked at Cadillac CTS and was waiting for the ATS. Was looking at a used (certified pre-owned) CTS-V sports wagon. If this was in black or white, I would of bought it but it was my least favorite candy red.

A little bird whispered me that he saw a SWP BRZ at a Subaru dealer near by. I stopped by, signed papers and drove off.

I passed on a 2012 Camaro 2SS with the RS package. It just didn't do it for me.

I was looking at the veloster turbo. then I saw the FRS and knew I had to have one.

At the price for one of those ($39k)...yeah, I'd turn that down too.

Nothing actually... I wasn't really looking to get a new car but I couldn't pass up the BRZ.

Body roll/flex? Not sure what Cobalt SS Turbo you were driving but, that's not the case with mine or my friend's supercharged one either. The other Cobalts have those issues, but not the top end versions due to an upgraded suspension. As for quality, it's better than the Cavalier it replaced (I still have my Celica too) and quite frankly on par to my Celica.

Comparing it to the FR-S, the Cobalt has more features, not all the ones I wanted, but it was much cheaper. 15k vs 27k for a new FR-S here. Not to mention the performance that comes with the the SS turbo. More power than the FR-S, Brembo brakes stock, the sport suspension on the SS. I won't go BRZ due to the only Suby dealership within a 2 hour radius has been charged for so many counts of fraud I won't touch the place. It will do until I find what I want.

You got me on the torque steer though, it is annoying, but manageable. Still fun to drive, can't wait for the snow to melt completely and pavement to dry.

looked at the Scion FR-S

Only because it was essentially the same as the BRZ. I just love Subarus because they're Subarus.
