Hey guys, just took my delivery of my BRZ 2 weeks ago! I am in the midst of running it in... And i must say it's irresistible to not rev it above 4k RPM! . Yet i'm still loving every moment of it! What an awesome machine i must say...

Here's a picture of it!

Hello forum denizens, I've had my DGM BRZ for 7 months now but I only recently discovered the forums. I'm still loving every drive even jaunts to the store for milk and eggs (although I am too paranoid over parking lot dings).

Hello, my name is Anthony. I should be a BRZ owner before the end of the month. I talking to multiple dealerships in central Texas. I have my fingers crossed that I get a good deal!

Anyways, I am from Odessa, Texas. I am coming from a 2007 Nissan Altima S. It's a really nice and super reliable car, but it's time for two door.

Hey Guys
I'm new to the community and i am totally head over heels in love with the BRZ/FRS/86GT
i am looking to purchase in the next couple weeks/months
I live Near Montreal in Quebec Canada, i am 29 years old and i used to be co-owner of a infiniti dealership, so buying a car is going to be... kinda new to me lol!

i have a ton of idea's and have browsed the forums at least 100 hours if not more lol. (my gf is getting sick of me asking, which aero kit do you like best? which mags do you prefer? red or blue center caps LOL)

anyways hopefully i get to post some pictures of my new ride before august.

Just wanted to say hello. Been interested in the BRZ for several years but got very seriously interested a couple of months ago. I am planning to finally pull the trigger and purchase one in a couple of months and will go with a black limited 6M.

I had to laugh when I was test driving it and then test drove an WRX STI. The salesman said no one buys the BRZ after driving the STI. I couldn't disagree more. The STI felt so sluggish in every way compared to the BRZ, other than in a straight line.

Hey everyone,

Been lurking the forum since I started shopping, finally got my BRZ yesterday. I love it, even though it's my first manual car, I can tell I will have fun with it

P.S. fun fact: "BRZ" in my language means "Fast". I think it was meant to be

Good morning! I've been visiting the forum for a few weeks while considering the BRZ. I decided to make an appointment with my local dealer for a BRZ test drive, which is scheduled for later today.

The local dealer has marked up their BRZ's price well beyond MSRP, which is ridiculous for a model that isn't new or difficult to obtain. If I like the Subaru as much as I think I will, I may end up purchasing it elsewhere.

Yeah, they love ripping people off because it's a semi-difficult car to sell with the cheaper FR-S as an option for people that want to pay less than the dealer can go. As soon as they see someone with GT86 embedded in their sparkling eyes, they know they can get you at $29-$33k. Get that car! But don't over pay.

Good advice. I'm in NorCal, but already know I can find the same BRZ elsewhere in the state or nearby states. I can book a round trip flight to a dealer in another state, check out the out-of-state BRZ, and pay to ship it back to CA for less than my local dealer's BRZ markup.

Drove the BRZ this afternoon. Me like.

Unfortunately, my local dealer and I couldn't agree on a trade-in price for my current car.

I've been lurking around here for almost a month now. I don't own a Subaru BRZ yet, but I would love to buy one in the near future. For now, I'll live the excitement, ups and downs of the car through you guys.
