We have been through this line too many times I don't feel like doing it any more. You know exactly why I think the Gen 2 looks better than the Gen 1 and I know exactly why you think the Gen 1 looks better than the Gen 2. I had a Gen 1 - I LOVED my Gen 1. It is a great car. Heck, I am pretty sure at least 50% of Gen 2 owners were Gen 1 owners - we clearly don't "hate" the Gen 1. All I will say is this - I have never gone to the Gen 1 forum to tell them how much better looking and what a better car the Gen 2 is over their "inferior" Gen 1s. Just sayin ... |

Really? The only reason people aren't interested is because they can't find a 22 or are to broke to get one anyway. Big FU to that sentiment. This THREAD is asking for reasons and I will bloody well state mine. Just sayin...

Sorry I posted that and started it again. These things are by all means subjective and honestly the Gen 1 looks better. But the Gen 2 certainly performs better and has some more refinement. I really feel that the Gen 2 is an improvement in every way except steering and looks. If I did not have a 16 I would buy a new one for sure. The cars are just too much fun. Neither is as pretty as my 981 though. No issues if you completely disagree with me, that’s what forums are for.

2nd gen is butt ugly and I like my first gen more I prefer 1st gen analog gauges vs 2nd gen digital gauges (valid) My 1st gen still has a loan and the upgrade is marginal so I wouldnt / cant justify it OP's original post and I will quote "If money is not an issue, what are good reasons to stick with 1st Gen over 2nd Gen." If money is not an issue, there is literally no reason to stay with the 1st gen outside of arguable opinionated preferences such as styling, digital vs analog, and the one I will admit I prefer from the first generation as many others have said is steering feel. The second gen is a statistically better driving machine. Numbers don't lie. However, If money is an issue and availability is an issue then by all means the 1st gen is a fantastic car. I have owned the entire trinity and love all three. However, if you're in a financial position or in a position with your build where you can get out of it, and get into a new one then yes. Why would you not make the jump to a brand new car with the same formula, half the parts slap right on from your previous car, and every day the aftermarket is booming more and more? Again, I literally love and have owned all of these cars. I'm just a little lost as to why there is a 60 page thread in the 2nd gen section that is majority filled with 1st gen owners expressing their discontent with the 2nd gen. It's pretty odd. Page after page of 1st gen owners just knitpicking in the 2nd gen section. Imagine if a bunch of 22 Owners went into the 1st gen section and made a polar opposite thread that is 85% full of just personal opinion. Also, I know the OP originally states if money is not an issue, but let's be realistic here. 22+ availability is lacking and takes a lot more due diligence to find one, and I absolutely stand behind my comment in regards to being in the proper financial place to upgrade. I have NEVER met anyone who's first question or thought process behind buying a car isn't how much it is going to cost them. You could argue that the first gen gets fantastic MPG compared to the second, the parts are cheaper & maintenance should be cheaper, the cars themselves are cheaper, your insurance will be cheaper. the aftermarket is explosive in comparison thus aftermarket modifications are cheaper However, ""If money is not an issue"

i'd love to get a gen 2 for the bigger motor, increased chassis stiffness, and stiffened transmission.
i'm keeping my gen 1 because i don't want digital gauges, the slacker steering ratio, or more creature comforts. the reality is that eventually i'll likely be able to get the bigger motor into a gen 1, the trans has already been verified to plug-n-play, the only thing i'd really be short then would be the chassis stiffness--aftermarket bracing isn't going to entirely make up for an oem-designed/built stiffer setup. so for me, there's absolutely no reason to upgrade to the gen 2, even if all the costs were zeroed out.

Most have been on this forum for years. We did not just come out of nowhere to these threads. There is no master plan to go to various forums and troll people. It is a forum, a place to discuss ideas, thoughts and opinions. It’s is not a place for everyone to agree. On Nasioc there were similar threads about each generation of WRX/STI, it’s just how people are. And I will always vouch for my blobeye wagon as the best. There’s a thread right now on Planet-9 talking about 987 vs 981. And 997 vs 991. This shit is literally everywhere. People discussing what they like. Anyone who takes offense or gets their panties all twisted must have some doubts in their decision. Shit I know I would be happy with any of the cars I mentioned above, even a Gen 2 BRZ in silver. |

I like gen 1, I like gen 2. They're both nice in their own ways, analog gauges vs more power etc. For the ZD8 and ZN8, there's some very cool gen2 specific parts coming out and I'm glad the platforms are still growing.
I'll stick with my gen 1 for a very very simple reason... Toyota killed off Hot Lava at the end of the '17MY and it's my favorite color |

I want to say "finally, I see 2nd Gen Hotlava" but will not happen any time soon. If I upgrade, should be Zupra 2.0 or any pony cars

Of course it is all personal opinion" but your preference is also personal opinion. I think they are one of the uglyest cars on the road right now. That is my opinion. I am not asking anybody to change their opinion just that it is mine. There are many that agree with me but we are just told we are wrong and should not say anything. You are fixated on costs but that is your problem not ours. You keep repeating that if somebody can afford it why wouldn't they change. We are saying exactly why we wouldn't change not that we can't afford to. All I see in response to people's reasons as to why they prefer the Gen 1 is a bunch of butthurt snowflake Gen 2 owners that somehow feel that their opinion over rules everybody and can't stand to see anything bad said about their cars.
