I'm constantly amazed by the cargo capacity of this tiny car.

What exactly is the ceramic coat? I have noticed a lot of debris, soda cans, rocks hitting my car and some small dings I have noticed on the body and windshield. Does the ceramic coat protects further damage to the car? I think small/tiny cars will get hit more than pickups or SUVs.

What you want to protect against that kind of damage is a clear bra. X-pel is a product I know many on here have used but I'm sure there are other products available (I don't have a clear bra).

A ceramic coating is mostly for ease of maintenance due to it's hydrophobic effects making washing much easier. Some coating products claim to resist light scratches and swirl marks, but they definitely can't protect against impacts like a clear bra.

As for your windshield... well it's gonna get dinged over time and there isn't much you can do about it. I actually got a rock chip driving home from the dealership with less than 10km on my car. It was small and didn't crack further so I never got it fixed, but I see it every day. There are also ceramic coating products for windshields/glass, but again that is only going to improve water shedding ability and not provide any impact protection.

IRP shifter, whiteline trans bushing, and mtec spring install is no joke without a lift.

Laying face-up on cold concrete will leave you sore for about a week.

Found out there are much smaller Subarus than the BRZ.

Hey there are even smaller ones, and are just as much fun in the wet...

I never thought of the BRZ as a "small" car. I have owned a couple that were much smaller.
