Newbie...had my SWP Limited BRZ for just barely a month

Got the only manual SWP Limited available in NC from Greenville Subaru in Greenville, NC.....got lucky they got in the exact color/model I wanted in my hometown and I knew the general manager pretty well since I work in the car finance field so I was able to get him to knock $750 off sticker and give me $800 over clean trade for my 2012 Camry....feel pretty good about the deal....already installed the Greddy cold air intake and Greddy SP Elite axle back exhaust. Also added CARSMO armrest and Zeta satin brushed surround for the seat heater switches and factory mud guards. Next up, front lip, rear diffuser, shark fin antenna, and eventually I wanna go with a turbo or SC setup....oh also had the windows tinted....thats about it....

Hey All! I just joined after deciding to finally buy a BRZ. I've been creeping here from Illinois from awhile. I've been paying attention to the twins ever since I saw the concept at the Chicago Auto Show. I decided to wait until they were out for awhile to see what the various owners had to say about the BRZ. I couldn't wait any longer after seeing how much fun you all are having

I'll be getting my MT WRB BRZ limited next week once I'm healed from a recent surgery. It's a little post surgery treat to myself. I'm psyched! It will be my first fun car after having a 2004 Grand Am through HS/College

I live in the Naperville/Warrenville area and work in Oak Brook. It will be my only car so I hope it can handle the snow alright. I've read that it handles fine with good snow tires. I guess I can use it as an excuse to get my own snow days!

Hey Everybody! I just traded in my 08 FJ Cruiser for a 2013 Ultramarine FR-S last week.

Before:


After:


I put in a lot of work into the FJ and it was so fun, I will definitely miss the routine 4x4 runs in the local mountains! Well, the FR-S is surely another fun vehicle that I have been enjoying, and I've been drooling over the color ever since she came into my life

Oh and another thing, my name is Avo, and after lurking across the forums I've noticed the AVO turbo chargers... was this meant to be or what?

EDIT: Just realized I posted in the BRZ section haha! Whats the difference right?

hello everyone. not an owner yet, but seriously considering a BRZ limited. i'm 99.999999% sure i want to get one. as soon as my current car sells i'm heading to the dealer lol. What am I selling? Getting rid of my NSX. What?! Why? Its not a practical car for me. I don't drive it anywhere because I'm obsessively paranoid about something happening to it. Besides that, it's too low to take anywhere too. I want a DD and the BRZ has what I'm looking for: the looks, the technology, and most importantly the affordability of owning it. so once again, just saying hi. Brief history on previously owned cars: 00 Civic SI, two Evo 9s, and currently DD a Tacoma. i dont want to break any forum rules, but i'm just putting this out there, if anyone is interested in trading their brz limited for my nsx lmk...its a 96 with rebuilt engine.

Hey everyone, I just picked up my WRB BRZ on Monday. I can't wait for the 1000 mile break-in to really see what this car can do.

Sup guys! Happy new owner of a 2013 SWP BRZ! Picked her up on 5/26 and I must say that I'm loving every minute driving this car! Looking forward to seeing more Subarus on the road.

Whats good everyone?! Just got my Silver BRZ yesterday and loving it. I used to own a 2000 Honda Prelude, which was the love of my life until I found the BRZ. Havent found a car since my prelude that made me feel this way even remotely. Looking forward to breaking it in and building it down the road a ways.

Hi

We had a 4hr break in the middle of our friend's wedding. We spent it picking up my new white BRZ. Now, I'll never forget my friend's wedding anniversary

Nice , Is everyone getting White? I just got my White BRZ on Memorial Day, also White. I have seen ONE other BRZ on the road and I have seen a couple Fr-s'ssss on the road.

I think the Silver one looks good in photos, never seen it in person. White is nice, though I have always liked white cars.
