Also, has the taillight condensation issue been fixed yet or not? The last real thing I heard was that Subaru isn't paying for replacement taillights anymore with a corresponding TSB that condensation is normal (it's not).

Finally, I have already read some related posts, but who out there is using a car cover on a daily driver?

Just had the condensation issue fixed in June without a fight... And that's with a difficult dealer.

Also, I wouldn't wait... If you can do it now then do it. Cars are no different than computers. You'll buy one and the next year they'll come out with something new.

You're missing out by waiting in my opinion as I have been enjoying my BRZ since 2012 with NO regrets. Still waiting to see the "turbo" version too.

Meh feeling positive also:

There have been almost zero noticeable changes to this car in 2+ years, I don't see why that would change on year 3 or 4 for that matter, anything you hear to the contrary is pure speculation, rumor, clickbait, or outright lies unless it comes from a Toyota/Subaru press release.

Buy one now, buy used and save yourself ~$4k.

You should wait until 2020. I heard it's going to be AWD.

I'm in the same boat but I'm overseas and can't physically buy one yet. When I come back i'm gonna work and drive my dd for a bit until the 2016 comes out. IF they do a refresh, expect a lot of owners who bought the 2015 to riot in the streets. Expect older owners to sell their cars for the refresh and then it becomes a great time to buy a used twin. Again, all IFS. I have all the time to wait so it doesn't bother me, waiting.
