I disclaimed we don't have reliability data. Marrying Toyota reliability with Subaru engineering has never been done so I agree it's pointless to speculate without data. (Technically, Toyota does have prior boxer engineering experience.)

This car is in a class by it self this debate is like apples to oranges but I do love both cars

If neither Toyota nor Subaru are reliable then i don't know what other automobile manufacturer is..

Toyota could've always told the old crew to come out of retirement ;p

I have seen 2009/2010 Nissan 370z's have massive price drops. I've even seen 1 below 20k. With the FRS expected to be about 22k-23k, couldn't a person just get a 370z which has more horsepower,'slightly' better interior, and cost the same or less. Or does the extra 2 seats mean that much to you. Here is a link of used 370z I found for only 20k!

70k miles vs 0 miles. Not exactly a comparable car.

332 HP vs 200 HP

270 lb vs 150 lb (Torque)

2 seats vs 4 seats

Giccin · 01-04-2012, 04:28 AM

Nope.

Weighs too much for me. :>

And.. epa is better on the BRZ/FRS. :P

2fast4you · 01-04-2012, 04:39 AM

That's great, please buy one if it meets your needs. As for me, if I wanted a 370z, I would have bought one new and not bothered reposting on this site.

May I suggest you try this place? http://www.the370z.com/

Giccin · 01-04-2012, 04:43 AM

What the F.

Why did you post this on two separate threads in two separate subforums?

Like I said above, I thought this thread was more appropriate for this section.

I was just asking people their thoughts on the 'price to feature ratio' between the FRS/BRZ and 370z, no need for the arrogance. If advise you to not have posted on the thread if you didn't have anything useful to present.

May I suggest you try this place? http://www.psychforums.com

P.S: Why would I post this to a 370z forum, this question obviously applies to folks who want an FRS/BRZ....
