There is at least a 10:1 male to female ratio on compliments about my car. The vast majority of of men complimenting my car end their sentence in "brah!"

Though, I guess compliments about my car from guys is far better than dudes in their lifted pickups flooring it to come check me out, thinking I was a girl in my first car - a bright red neon sxt...in New Jersey...by the beach...in the summer...

I buy Toyota and Scion cars with that said your correct about the "old guys" liking this car. The FR-S /GT86 is like the cars from the good old days that are small, rwd, and fun to drive.

I get break neck looks all of the time and people talking to me about my ride.

Multiply that by 10 now that I have nice wheels.

My complement ratio is close to 50:50 with a possible small margin leaning toward female commenters.

Wait until they stop making these cars and you will start to get more and more compliments as they become less frequent etc...

I said "old school" not "old guys". How dare you!!! jk

I get a lot of older guys checking out the car, get the thumbs up all the time.

Random girls wont come up and say anything unless im say at a car meet, however its quite entertaining when a girl grills me and my car when her boyfriends with them and they get all pissy because she likes it better than his mustang/camaro/civic etc..

DAMN, Look at all the Haters, That tells me that 80% or more of the people on here don't even own a BRZ or Scion or it is totaled and your Jealous. I see a lot of people saying, Hey, I am about to get mine next Month, NO, YOUR NOT getting one. Your still driving Mom's 86 Yellow Pacer with Vinyl Wooden doors
Why the Hate? The dude is telling facts. HMMMMMMMMM. hahahaahaha

This was the best experience I've had so far.

I met my wife after work on Friday so we could test drive a Jaguar XE. I hit some traffic and arrived about 10 minutes later than she did. I parked next to her and I didn't see her since she was already touring the lot. She texted me and told me where to find her, so I got out and walked across the lot.

Just as I got near her, someone ran up behind me and said - I can't believe it! Is that what I think it is? I was kind of confused being at a Jag dealer but he was genuinely in awe over the tS.

There I am standing between a fully loaded F-Type and the XE and he says - I hope you aren't considering the F-Type. The BRZ handles so much better.

We chatted for about five minutes and went about test driving the XE. When we come back he had everyone outside checking out MY car. Then I find out he was not even our salesperson.

Our salesperson asked - is that the top Subaru model? I said nah... but it is the car I've always wanted.

That's an awesome experience! Great to see that there are still enthusiasts working at dealerships and not just sales people who actually know nothing about cars but how to sell them even if it is still the majority. I bet you left that lot with a big ole grin.

I'm not young myself, so when an older person recognizes my little ol' Scion sports car as being nice, it puts a smile on my face.

I've had the exact opposite experience. A middle aged man with his wife asked me about the car at a gas station and then proclaim "thats it?" when i told him the engine specs and when I told him the mods he said the "chips" don't do anything the exhaust is a fart cannon and the the air intake is a hot air intake. The guy was smug about it too and all my friends were like wtf?

It just depends who you meet.
