New 2017 Limited Edition (when it comes out) BRZ or 2016 Veloster Turbo

[gramicci101]

1. You have a 2016 car. Unless you put a lot of money down on it, you're probably upside down. Trading it on a 2017 will only increase that debt.
2. You want a car that can handle 350 hp reliably. The BRZ probably can, with boost, but there have been a number of them that couldn't. And if you have one that is pushing 350 hp, any drivetrain warranty can be kissed goodbye. Be prepared to pay for any repairs out of pocket, to include a new engine or transmission.
3. Get a 2016 370z. 320-350 hp from the factory, which means it's warrantied. Still a very fun car to drive.

Agreed! I thought about getting the 370z before I picked up the FRS. I had a 350z and that car was one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned.


Just don't get a new one unless it's a NISMO, they look like bloated whales. I like the old bumpers better ha ha

Haha is it 🤔🤔

I havent found any other cars out there that match my end goal. I have seen chatter about maybe one day an STI BRZ being introduced but then i also see why it would be pointless. At the end of the day, i would enjoy a car i can have fun driving, love looking at, and one that has a lot of build potential. i Have driven one and was only slightly underwhelmed with the interior features, but that is easily fixable. So all in all, i will still do more research but i have a feeling im going to end up in a BRZ. Also, thank you for your replies! i love seeing other's thoughts and knowledge

There is definitely a less sporty look to the WRX compared to the BRZ. It is however comparing a sedan to a coupe. Admittedly I did like the look of my FRS more than my WRX.

They're fun little cars and turbos can be had for the early non HR models for cheap as well. They can handle 300-350 relatively reliably also.

A lot of these worthless threads cropping up. If you want a fast two seater for drag racing, get a used Vette. C5 or C6, they're easy to go fast in. They can corner well, too.

Hyundais are appliances. The velociraptor, or whatever it's called, is bizarre looking. I'm 6' and I barely fit in one. Also, Hyundai has yet to make a car with good suspension.
