Cancelled pre-order available, bought another BRZ!

I just picked up a WRB Premium 6MT from Manchester Subaru, they had one delivered with no buyer so I just bought it today!

I have a pre-order with Subaru of Keene in NH for a GBS Premium 6MT that will be in within the next 2-3 days, if anyone is interested let me know and I will give you the contact number for the guy I'm working with. I'll be calling up tomorrow morning to cancel my pre-order, but wanted to give you guys a heads up.

I fell in love during the test drive, coming from a 2011 Legacy the BRZ is fast!

Congrats! I was going to go drive that tomorrow. I guess you didn't use Gary, since he was off today? Who'd you work with?

Thanks! I went through Bob (forget his last name), super nice guy. I had to go to Boston last night so he drove my car to my house so I had it when I got home. Only 12 miles on it when I picked it up!

Yeah, I just refused to put a deposit down there as I wanted it to be refundable. I guess there was no reason to!

You know, if the Premiums came with auto HVAC I'd totally get one and save $2k over the Limited. I can live without all the other options but I honestly can't stand the look of the manual HVAC knobs in the car. I know it sounds like a stupid thing to get hung up over but it bugs the crap outta me! They look like the plastic wheels on Tonka trucks... Just saying this 'cause I have a GBS Limited 6MT on order.

I understand where you are coming from, but I prefer manually setting the amount of heat/cool air is entering the cabin, rather than entering in a temperature. Sometimes I prefer hot air on a cool day with the windows all the way down. Now never owning an auto climate controlled car I don't know if you can manually override it or not. I do agree that the knobs in the limited look better, but I couldn't justify spending $2K more on this car, as then it really gets into the price bracket of another class of car.

Congrats! I'm happy to hear that you got it! I really want a Limited, or I would have strongly considered that one. The two BRZs went quickly, gone within a day!
