The "I love my BRZ" thread
Plenty of threads on here about minor (and some major) issues. But how about a "I have no problems, my BRZ is perfect!" thread?
Share your story.. as in "I've got xxxxx miles on my car.. still perfect.. still love it!" I'm still waiting for my 2015.. and wanna read some positive stuff about these cars (besides how great they are to drive) P.S. sorry if such a thread already exists. |

The only issues I've had were the crickets, and now my shift knob vibrates at 4k+ RPM. Otherwise, I love it.
Sure it could use some more power, but it doesn't NEED more power. It handles like a dream, drives great in the city, on the backroads, and on the highway. There are little quirks to the car, but you'll get that with any car. I'm at ~5,800 miles, and I still love my BRZ! Oh, and it gets really great gas mileage. Especially compared to my last car. |

I love my BRZ. I've had it since last September, have about 12k miles on it. I've never once regretted my decision (I had a 400hp Challenger before). The car is a joy to drive. I don't think I've had any real issues with it. It does occasionally chirp but who cares, I'm usually listening to music

It's alright. I'll keep it for another year or two.

Other than literally yelling at my navscreen to shut up while going into work today because i couldn't figure out how to turn nav off without pulling the SD card out I'm pretty good (finally figured out how to cancel route after getting out of work)...
I keep on getting a big goofy grin on my face while driving without meaning too. I just love all the little things about this car. |

I have plenty of minor gripes about my BRZ, but it's a sub-$30k car, so you can't expect utter perfection. However, when the circumstances are correct and I'm on the right road with the right weather and I can enjoy the thrill of driving, that's when I most love my car. Also, every time I walk up to or away from it 'cause it just looks so sexy! Driving it and feeling the taut suspension, the snick-snick of the shifter, the cat-like reflexes, the clean growl of the exhaust... I could go on.

I have close to 6,000 miles since March, and I still love my car, with no major issues to speak of.

I love my SWP more and more each day. It's truly a drivers car, makes me grin from ear to ear after every drive. Yeah, it has it's minor issues, but what car doesn't. The good thing is, there are easy fixes for most of those. I love the car even more after my OFT and e85 switch over.

I think this cars strength is its versatility and affordability. For a car that really shines on the track and auto cross, it is a great daily driver with unreal mpg. You don't have to tow a car to the track. Just drive there, spin around, and drive home!

Plenty of $100k+ German cars that are far from perfect in terms of ownership. I absolutely love my BRZ it's even more of a poor man's Porsche than my previous Golf GTI. |

6,000 miles in 3 months. I love this car. DD all week long. Get away car all weekend. It may not be perfect or highly practical but F that shiz.I have no wife or kids, so I bought this car for me. Glad I chose this over the ten other cars I test drove.
Only problems I have had been related to the format of my pen drive for music and crickets, both have been fixed. |

I was excited about this car when it was rumored years ago. It was the first car I drove when I started working for the dealer. I regularly drove one for work purposes for a few months. I bought one a few weeks ago.
Every time I've been behind the wheel, it's made me smile. That's something I can't put a price on. I love my BRZ. |
