can I afford this car?

Might as well wait for 2014 model which hopefully should fix the minor kinks.

Not a one regret. I'd get the car again ten times over.

But to each his own.

Several thousand saved? The premium BRZ is like 1.8k more than an FRS. For those 2k you could effectively make it so u dont have a torque dip and also be original. But like u said, to each his own. I went with the FRS over it due to the front bumper and like any light sports car, i intend on fully modding the hell out of it.

It really comes down to how much you want your car to make u smile and how often u like to wash cars.

If you buy one, everyday you will enjoy the commutes to life's responsibilities. You will also have pickled hands from how often you find yourself washing it.

Its a car that is relatively cheap that will bring u you levels of satisfaction that purchasing a car like a Porsche would bring u.

I bought mine on a whim and have been very happy i did.

On the other hand, if youre trying to start your life out, there could be more valuable things for you to buy like education, home, savings accts, and the dreaded expense of pretty women....

Eitherway, im sure youll make the right choice for u and if it does end up being a Twin then we will all congratulate you on joining in on the fun.

True dat! I've had mine 10 days, and I've washed it 5 times already. Of course, it's rained almost every damned day. It's dirty again now, but supposed to rain again in the morning or I'd have washed it 6 times.
