Just picked up my dark gray metallic limited BRZ today! I got it for about $500 over invoice, but got them to throw in a trunk cargo liner, car cover, and car cover bag for free. Only 5 miles on the odometer too! Apparently they don't allow test drives on the BRZ or STI at that dealership. I can't wait to take it out and break it in this weekend!

That's awesome man! I don't think I've ever seen a car with 5 miles on it lol.

Mine had 5 on it when I first sat in it. It had 6 when I drove it off the lot after a trip to the detailer bay

Hey folks! I've been following this car for over a year now, and will be ordering a BRZ in the next few months. It's kind of a crazy step, as I've been driving an old Jeep that won't die and it's time to get rid of it. It was my first car, and it's been going for *years*.

Anyway, looking forward to learning a lot!

LOL yup, Pure handling delight! I waited almost six months for mine since last Oct. It's just Soooo much fun! Breezette is in for window tinting today, will post more pics. I wish there were more female BRZ/FR-S owners out here. I won't be able to get all the builds at once, so i'm budgeting myself to adding one every quarter starting off with either the audio upgrade or the exhaust...what you think should come first?

honestly i'd choose the exhaust as the stereo really isn't that bad. granted i came from a wrx which has one of the worst in the market and spent 2k upgrading it to my standards.

Just bought a BRZ Premium in WRBP for $25,448 with the auto dimming home link mirror, clear bumper application, "bullet" chrome accents, and wheel locks. After taxes, tags, vin etching, and standard document fees I walked out at $28,226. Interest was 5.65%. I thought I did ok given my current credit score and buying power.

Later on I'd like to give my BRZ another 100HP-150HP via a turbo or supercharger, upgrade the rims, tires, exhaust, brakes, and suspension. While the shifter, clutch, and front seats are great as is, I could see upgrading those as well.

I was thinking of repurposing the uselessly small backseat space for something else and to allow me lay my front seats down more for a snooze. The BRZ should have been a 2 seater or made with more back seat room. My 2006 Civic Si coupe was just right in this department as I could lay the fronts way down or put 4 real adults inside. However in return the BRZ rewards you with a better leg forward driving position, far better outward visibility, rear wheel drive, better looks, and one of the best handling, most balanced cars available. It's better than my 2006 Civic Si was and the 2012 Civic Si is a step backwords IMHO:

If music is your life, do the audio. If you're one of those people who need to change the stock exhaust (example: me), do the exhaust. Simple.

Finally picked her up this weekend and was able to break her in a bit! Please forgive my poor parking, it was an empty lot and I didn't really care.
