I like the looks of the GR86 better, I even like the white/silver accents on the interior vs. the red. I trust Subaru to better service the motor and greatly prefer the service experience from my local Subaru dealer vs. Toyota. Echoing the other comments, Toyota seems to be run by accountants now and will look everywhere to cut costs, so another point for Subaru.

I mean, I guess a service recall or warranty work would be possible - but frankly I don't expect either. I missed the fuel pump issue (would have taken a new one for free) and given I drive more than 20k a year, it won't be long before I am out of warranty (and given my mods, probably have voided most warranty work anyhow). |

Assuming you don’t do heavy kids, the service department can help you out if you need major warranty work. IMHO, changing oil there a couple times a year is a small price to pay. If you get to know your service advisor, they can make sure a warranty claim isn’t denied or that they can extend goodwill if you’re slightly out of warranty

Is Subaru offering anything like the NASA membership / track day?

Nah, it's a silly promotion for NASA. SCCA did it with Subaru back in the day and SCCA saw a gigantic spike in membership followed by an immediate slump back to where it was before. This is speaking from my former SCCA regional exec hat this time. Sounds like a good idea on paper, but won't provide much value outside of the very small percentage of people that actually take advantage of it. Taking a set of opinions from the group of enthusiasts on this forum isn't going to be representative of the larger picture.

When I do it myself (which is quick, easy, cheap and on my schedule), I know exactly what oil went in, that the filter actually got changed, and that someone didn't screw something else up in the process. Heck, I like the fact that some high school yard boy won't strip my gears and accidentally wash it with that scratchy brush despite the big sign on the dash that says "DONT WASH." As for those experiences, I can buy my own x3 with all the money I save. Different strokes I guess... |

I let my indy guy, or the dealer if it's still complimentary, do it. Why? Because I don't like spending my free time in the evenings or weekends changing oil then having to dispose of it. During the week, I can drive to the shop, while I'm on the clock, hook up to the WiFi and "work" (IE be available on Slack as I look at the interwebz, while I'm on the clock), and drive home, while I'm on the clock, and done. But I realize not everyone has a tech job that works from home, but it's another one of the perks. |

Looking to replace our 2013 BRZ. I have to like the look of the car. To those people thinking of buying a BRZ to get it sooner even though they like the look of the front end of the 86 better...wait, you'll be glad you did.
To me, the 86 grille is too big for the car. Smooth styling everywhere except for that big slab of a grille in the nose. So for me, strictly from a looks point of view, BRZ hands down. |

On top of getting the car earlier and preferring the look, the very slightly different suspension in the BRZ tuned for higher speed stability is what did it in for me. At least that's if the reviewers are right...
