I've recently acquired a 4 at the front of my age, so I have clicked the 36+ category ;-)
Still unsure whether I'd go with an FRS/BRZ/Used something or the other, but I am looking forward to picking next year :-)

i would have never expected there to be as many older guys purchasing this car as there is. i hope this car ends up being a lot like the MINI where ownership transcends the age boundary and has more to do w/ a youthful mindset while still being relatively affordable no matter where you are in life.

i think it will... its just that the WRX has a little bit of a boy-racer-ness to it. i have owned 3 of them so i know what i talking about but i am in my 30s. so with this car hopefully Subaru can market it in a different way to transcend age.

how can a 16yr old afford this?
I'm not from around here so I'm seriously wondering.
assuming your parents don't buy it for you.
