After owning it for several years - would you still buy it again?

[Ricepuddin]

I bought an FR-S during the first year, traded for something bigger (Forester XT) , traded that for a focus st , traded that on a mustang GT track pack and traded that for a frontier pro4x....


Yesterday I bought a BRZ PP.

So my answer is obviously yes

Yes

If something happened to my 10Series I'd go out tomorrow and get a 2017 860 special edition Toyota 86 (provided the color looks better in person) or just get a 2017 Limited BR-Z. If something happened to it a year or so later I'd hold out to see what's in store for the 2nd Gen twins.

I've had mine going on 3 years, so not necessarily "several," but as long as I've had it I have been into it. I haven't seriously considered anything else for even a second.

I love it. I'd buy it again and again, : ).

I sold my first BRZ and bought another a couple years later.........same color.

[Captain Snooze]

Personal preference. Do what ever you like.

I think I should listen to her.

Yes there are faster, more luxurious and more practical cars out there, but very few offer the blend that the Twins do. Just enough of everything you need.

Maybe every time you take a turn you sigh... she just wants you happy.

I have a 2013 BRZ which I bought about a year and a half ago. I'd say after all this time, no, I would not buy one again.

It's fun to drive and small enough where I can easily find parking here in NYC. But that's also where the biggest problem lies for me - it's too small to be of any practicality. The trunk is tiny, the back seats are big enough for some small grocery bags. But that's about it. I underestimated just how impractical this car is when I bought it. I initially bought it because it was small and I used to park on the street, so it was easy to find parking compared to my previous daily - '02 Maxima; and also because I wanted something fun to drive daily. Another problem is the lack of power. When I initially test drove it, it seemed to have just enough power to be fun, but over time I started noticing it's true lack of power. I mean sure there are a shit ton of mods for the car, but they cost a pretty penny to make the car relatively fast. Not to mention the potential problems as a result of those mods.

So all in all, it was good for a while but nope, would not buy an 86 type of car again. Thinking of selling mine for 2015/2016 Challenger RT.

I've enjoyed every minute in my BRZ the last 4+ years. If I wasn't in the market for a new house, I'd seriously consider buying a 2017 BRZ too.

Since you're coming from a Prelude, the BRZ power should be enough for you. And despite all the "problems" you read about on the internet, it's actually a very reliable car. Never left me stranded once, or gave me issues where I couldn't trust to take it on a cross country trip; I've taken it on several 10-18 hr trips too. And I modded mine's from day one (screw the warranty lol).

8.6/10 Nice car. Sufficient power, Great handling, Cheap, RWD and lightweight. Would buy again

[paiceyfan]

Maybe the question should be...having the same financial situation and knowing what I have learned about the vehicle in owning it and considering my set of unique requirements I want from it (everyone has different requirements), would I buy it right now?


The answer...YES!


Would I still add the Edelbrock Supercharger? YES!


Would I have bought it knowing I could not modify it in any way except aesthetically?...YES!


That's a testament to how good this car is for me...there is just nothing else out there right now that's better for the money for me.

I had a 2013 FRS, sold it. Went back to riding motorcycles for a few years, searched and searched for the next purchase but wasn't pleased with anything on the market and didn't want to invest a ton of money into a 15 year old car to take to the track and have fun, bought a 2017 PP BRZ. No Regrets!


This is an awesome platform, for so many different types of people.

Don't have to.

Mine aintn't broke yet.
