Both of my BRZ’s are car shaped.
My 13’ I bought in early 16’. It is now a track rat. Biggest issues I have had is keeping front hubs in it. Otherwise it has been solid except for my spare engine kicking a rocker arm and throwing a rod. OG engine has like 100k on it and runs great. My 15’ I bought with a spun rod bearing and a JRSC and has been a bit of a basket case due to the previous owner(s). It should be sorted shortly.

Bought my ‘13, brand new, only 43,000 kms approximately now. Mainly a weekend toy car, still great fun with bolt on mods. Car is “complete”, for now and in good condition. No plans on upgrading anytime soon.

Bought my 15 in 21 with 18k, up to 122k miles as it's parked in the hotel lot now. Dailied year round with some of the load spread across a couple bikes when it's not freezing.
Body generally in good shape aside from a couple hail divots and the touched up rock chips on the front. Engine in good shape with general maintenance, and fresh 0-20 every 5k. Been on E85 since 38k only switching back to gas a couple times on road trips where it was unavalible. Only non-maintenance services was a TOB at 90k and I threw a new exedy clutch (original lives on the shelf as it's still got another 90k in it) at it so I don't have to drop it again for another 100k. 33 mpg on gas, 25 on e85 with 215 tires, 23 on e85 with 225s. |

Bought my '16 in '16 with 6 miles on it. As soon as the factory warranty was up, I added the Cosworth supercharger to it, plus poly bushings, oil cooler, SouthBend Stage 2 clutch and JDM lighting. Took a job traveling for 3 years and hardly drove it. Quit my job and found that the ported injectors were clogging, and the fog lights and DRL on the front had cracked at some point and let water in. Replaced the injectors, added Diode Dynamics yellow fog lights, polished up the headlights and replaced the fuel filter. It runs great and gives me no problems. Many times I will take the long way home just to keep driving it. Only issues are minor rock chips on the nose, clear coat is pealing on the rear wing which was caused by the Subaru car cover I used to have wicking moisture onto the paint, and the driver's seat has split on the sides from sliding in and out all these years. Has about 300 HP and still gets 31mpg if I'm easy on it. Recently switched to 5w-30 oil which I should have done long ago.

Bought mine new in 2020, it has currently just over 6800km on it. Its so close to being in perfect shape that its not funny. I've literally washed it more than filled it with gas
its just a fun car to take out when its nice and we don't need more room(passengers, dogs, kayaks etc) Mods in sig. I do drive it hard, but no abuse. Quality fluids etc Edit, also a Perrin intake pipe and my own custom work on the airbox and inlet snorkel. I also remove whatever I can to drop weight, such as those horrible steel injector covers. I made a small aluminum bracket for the PCM.
