Having owned a G37. It was quick. No doubt. But not nearly as enjoyable as the BRZ. Cornering was muted in the G. Cornering in the Brz with wider tires is just 😆 the whole time.

If your a real chick. Welcome. If your a guy pretending to be a chick. You're a troll and you have other problems.

The BRZ has slightly better interior options, but the GT86 has a cooler name. You're choice ... Essentially the same car.

I wouldn't buy BRZ. I don't like Subaru's brand image: wilderneass, camping, safety, and we love each other. I want asphalt, a 5-star hotel, aggressive driving and hating other drivers ;-)

Ok,....fair enough.....Iv'e owned both brands, lessor so on the Toyota side of things,....2 of them beside the FRS.....I'm older and have bought a ton of new cars,,,approaching 60, my experience would lean more towards the Subaru even though I bought the fRS out of necessity....wanted the car and all the BRZ's were sold out in my area. Subaru dealers are small and seem to take care of their customers better.....at-least in my area and strive more for repeat customers.....

Reverse here. My Toyota dealer is great the Subaru one won't give you the time of day.


Approaching 60 your age or how many new cars you have bought? If cars why so many? (Serious questions not a slam)

It is one of the larger dealers in town and they own a couple of different brands but they are not huge. The Subaru one is owned by some asshats that pretty much have a strangle hold on most make's dealerships in town so just don't care. I get where you were headed since this has been a complaint of mine in this city for a long time.

I hate my brother's G35. Only thing I like about it is the power of the V6, everything else is subpar and boring.

I can't help but wonder if OP mentioning "I'm a chick" is the reason why no one has gone apeshit about using the search feature yet.
