Been creeping around here for a while. Finally pulled the trigger on a '13 BRZ Limited a couple of weeks ago. Needless to say, I love it. Completely different than my Silverado.

Hi Guys! I started to fall in love with the Subaru BRZ a few months ago. I read a lot and expected to get a manual(it would have been my first-but this was not a limiting factor at all) but ended up with a deal I couldn't pass up and perfect timing(my old car's power steering went out, and the transmission was about to go).

I am now the proud owner of a '13 used AT premium BRZ! I'm pouring over car care information at the moment, as I've never been able to buy a car I -wanted- as opposed to -needed- before this, so I never cared to learn until now! Hope to read through all of the knowledge everyone has shared here.

Hey guys, been lurking here for a while. I picked up a white 2016 BRZ limited new in may of 2016. Loved the car but wanted more out of it. Slapped on a Jackson racing supercharger at 4000 miles and it is a crazy fun car to have!

Hi!
New on here but did a lot of reading before. I bought a new manual silver 2015 BRZ Limited bought this year on with a big discount.

I'm coming from a Sahara JKU on 35" wheels on 4" lift. Big change
I Had a 2010 WRX before.

I play guitar too.

I must figure out how to carry my windsurf gear now.

Hello, drove home a 2017 Limited yesterday. Loving everything about it! Came from a 2015 Veloster Turbo and it's quite the difference. Can't tell exactly how different the performance is because break in period but it handles so much better than anything I've driven.

Just bought a new 2017 Dark Gray Metallic BRZ Limited w/ Popular Package 1 on Saturday. Traded in my 2012 Hyundai Elantra. Getting my windows tinted this weekend.

Looking forward to changing out the HU as the bluetooth lag is terrible and need a Nav unit. Looks like my options are limited at this point, since 2017 barely just came out and previous units might not be compatible? The Joying Android unit looks nice, but not sure if compatible. Hopefully somebody here can help me and the other 2017 owners with this.

It should be comparable. All the wiring should be the same as the 2016

Ok thanks. I might wait for the new 2gb ram units that's supposed to come out in October. I'm thinking I might have to change the hu trim, since the 2017 hu are trapezoid shaped instead of rectangular. The one piece trim thread for the 2017 Canadian BRZ looks like it'll be a perfect fit for aftermarket hu's.

I've been lurking on this forum ever since I laid my eyes on the 2015 BRZ Series.Blue. I made an account two months after purchasing a 2016 BRZ back in February. This post has been long overdue... so hello from the other side!!!

Hi all,
I was at my local dealership having the oil changed on my Forester and wandered into the showroom. My eyes fell upon the BRZ and I cannot get it out of my head!!!! I am seriously contemplating trading in my Forester for the BRZ. May not be the most practical move but hey, I am approaching my late 40s so I think I am due for a mid-life crisis car. LOL

I am torn on colors though. I really like the WRB and the Silver as I feel those colors show off the amazing lines of the car the best. So hard to just look at pictures to make a decision.

I haven't gone out for a test drive yet but I have gotten a quick ride in one at the dealership. Even just riding down the frontage road at the dealership was quite fun so I can only imagine how that will go up exponentially when actually driving it. :-)

If there is anyone in the Hillsborough/Durham area of NC, I would love to meet up to hear all about your experience with the BRZ.

Thanks,
Keith

Hey hey! New here but I've been creeping the forum since '13.
I've had my 13 sport tech BRZ for a few months now. Seeing quite a few around my area (Nova Scotia), wondering if anyone here is any of those people. I keep getting mistaken for another black BRZ that's debadged.

Hey all:

Just a quick note of introduction. New to the family, after adding a '17 BRZ to the garage. Hoping to get back to the track after a few years' absence, and looking forward to the end of my 1000 mi break-in!

Peace,
Dok
