The BRZ is in Ohio!
Hello guys!
Just wanted to let you know that if you are within or near Cleveland, OH......the BRZ is here! I saw it today at the Cleveland Auto Show which ends this Sunday. The spokeswoman for Subaru was extremly helpful & pleasant. I was just standing behind the rope taking pix when she opened it up and asked if I wanted to sit inside and take more pix. I was shocked because everyone else could only stand around & gawk. I think the uniform had a LOT to do with it Now keep in mind I drive a lowered STI. But when I sat inside the BRZ it was almost like sitting 6 inches from the floor. It is really that low. If you suffer from back problems this is not the car for you. What I loved most were the seats. Veeery supportive. As I took pix she gave me the whole spill on the car, even though I already knew about the details, I didn't want to burst her bubble. Oh, and FYI when I asked about the price she could only say mid 20's and that the auto was like a $1200 option. On to the pix.... I have more, but it's nothing you guys haven't seen already

I was never interested in silver, but these photos are making me think twice.
To the OP, the STi will definitely feel taller. The seating position is like sitting in a high chair (especially in GDs). |

Silver is so damn easy to maintain it isn't funny. Current car is silver and plan to replace with Silver.

Yea... I had a PSM STi and the SSM BRZ will be close in color. Might end up with SSM afterall. I can't say it enough, a dream come true would be a BRZ in Aspen White.

Whats the interior feel like? I was really disappointed with the impreza loaner i got a few weeks ago :/
Oh you have a GD. How does it compare to your STi? I had an 07 for a few years. |

I just got back from sitting in the very same car. I was standing around talking to the Subaru guy, told him I had a deposit on an FRS (First 86) and he said "want to sit in it?"
I wish I coulld tell you what the interior was like, but, honestly, I was too excited to take in anything. Like a small child not being able to decide which present to open first. The one thing I did notice was the lack of rear legroom. I am 6'2" and, the seat was comfortable and there was absolutely no room between the back of my seat and the second row. You aren't going to fit people back there. The rep also put the back seats down, after several minutes of trying. The trunk has a decent amount of room, and you really will be able to carry a decent amount with the seat down. Anyways, I want one, real bad. PS - the rep said it was starting around 25k |

That's good to know about height. I'm about the same.
Im really curious how cheap the center console, door panels, and dash buttons feel. |

There isn't. That 3rd picture was taken before I sat inside. I'm 5'9", so once inside I moved the seat forward maybe 2-3 inches or about where the passenger seat is. And you can see how much room there is behind the passenger seat. Quote:
