This. I bought a Raven '13 because it was the only 6MT they had on the lot. In retrospect, I wish I had shopped around more. I wanted either red, aquamarine, or lava. I don't mind the way the black looks, but it's a mother to keep clean. This is the first and only black car I will ever own.

It definitely looks better!

Re-sell value will be better, and you'll feel better driving a Subaru

But Scion is gone now, so you'll feel better driving one of the last Scion cars...are the car will be more rare later on.

What white one? You haven't mentioned it. That is very cheap and I have to wonder why.

Yeah but only in the steel FR-S can we shoot past the police at 120+ mph and they just think their radar detectors are malfunctioning!

My Mustang is silver. It's turned out to be a very practical color. Does not show the dirt much, and reflects light almost as well as white...keeping car cool in summer.

My personal taste: I hate charcoal Grey color on cars. Seems to be very popular with men. I don't know why, as it is the same color as pavement, so difficult to notice cars this color on the road, or at intersections. It's certainly a non color to me. Why not have a car which actually has a real color...like red, blue, green, etc.

Personal choice in a new 2017 model: BRZ, as it's base model is cheaper than the 86, Like it's front bumper better, and like the fact it has retained the red stitching on it's interior. Love the idea of a little extra power in the 2017 models, and the fact they've attempted to get rid of some of the torque dip. Don't like the fact they've changed the rear end ratio, yet not changed the transmission ratios. My FRS already has pretty high revs at speeds of 75-90 mph, the new model worse in high revs, and poorer gas mileage. Guess I'd have to drive a 2017 model and see. So far, don't like also, the fact they've softened it's ride.

Are we off on a tangent now...well good.

This times a million. I could have taken home a black 2017 BRZ in November but my heart was set on a white which wouldn't be available until later this month. When I found out I would be waiting a few months I added the performance package to make the delivery day even more sweet.

Ha sorry about that. Two days ago i test drove a white 2013 frs woth 30k miles on it at a large dealership. They were asking 17800 i told them id only take it for 14k otd after some back and forth we settled at 15. Ill try to put the link below see what you guys think. At this point im really considering it but i am a little nervous about buying one of these used.

It appears to be unmolested and fully stock which is a good thing. $15K is a good price in your region and you could do a pile of work for the difference in price. There is of course always some level of risk when buying used but people have issues with brand new ones as well so it depends upon your willingness to accept it.

Most likely the second set of tires ..... 225's would be fine. Maybe the owner put all season tires on it.

As far as the knob turning, some folks put a formulation of Loctite thread locker on threads.

Bubby just unscrews the knob, drops a pencil erasure in the knob and threads it back on.

I have a white 2013 MT and it has served me well. Just don't mess with it and it won't mess with you. Oh, an aftermarket muffler and a free-er flowing air filter and center armrest is OK.

So, nu? I drive my steel 86 like I ride my motorcycles, as if I really AM invisible, and anyone who doesn't is foolish IMHO.

THIS! I came very close to "settling" on an Asphalt BRZ because I really liked the extra features on the Premium trim level. But I was never hot on the Subie colors (so freaking drab!).

Hopped online, noticed 1 new Hot Lava AT that was only 2 hours away, confirmed the car was on the lot, drove over the next day and came home with it and loved every minute since (except scraping the curb at my ex's and the texter who smacked my ass. Got a brand new rear bumper out of it and a little bottle of Hot Lava paint, too!)

Moral of the story: Don't settle.

Wait for the color u want and you wont regret it later
