Anyone willing to let me check out/drive their BRZ/FRS?

[Gatz]

Hey guys,

Really interested in the 2017 BRZ but there are none to test drive in my area or even look at, time of year I would assume has something to do with that.

I've always been interested in this platform, but can't seem to find any to test drive. Really interested in the BRZ.

Wondering if anyone would let me come by and check out there car and ask some questions, maybe go for a drive, will pay for gas. I'm located in Newmarket.

Subaru has some good deals going on for the upcoming Auto show, but would at least like to get a ride in one before I pull the trigger. Prefer a car without any major mods, especially FI lol.

Why don't you go to a Subaru dealer in Toronto/Markham? They definitely have some you could test-drive.

Doubt anyone would let some random person drive their car for shits and giggles

Sales guy I talked too at Markham didn't have anything to test drive, Richmond hill didn't either. I don't need to test drive it, just would like to go for drive and ask some questions from a non salesperson perspective.

Will go downtown if I have too but would like to see if anyone around my area.

Maybe you looked broke and they don't want to drive on summer tires in the winter due to safety.

Joking aside regarding the broke part, I am sure the dealer who is willing to accommodate you will be the one to earn your business. Even an earlier MY will drive the same pretty much if they don't have a PDI'd '17.

Maple treated me well with my WRX. If you're single, get a BRZ before you no longer can!

I'll keep looking around. Subaru has an Auto show promotion going on until the end of Feb I believe, so trying to make a decision before then. Markham had like 7 BRZ's there but all customers lol.

If all you're looking for is just to take a peek as you've mentioned, i'm sure any good dealer would give you some time to take a look at an already purchased car sitting out front.
Heavy emphasis on a good dealer.

Come on down to London and you can drive mine around in the snow. Not a 17 but there really isn't any major difference in them when it comes to the actual drive.

I actually had a dealer when they 1st came out in 2013 and I went to test drive one before i bought mine refuse to let me drive one unless they could pull my credit report 1st. When I bought the car I was 23 had fine credit and could easily afford it. So I swallowed back the attitude let them do what they needed to do. Man should of seen the look on the sales managers face when she came back with my credit report. Took it for a drive then she asked if I was ready to buy or not. I replied yes but certainly not from you guys after how you have treated me and I walked out and drove down the road to another dealer and ordered from there.

Took my test drive on a beat to shit 13 that had just been traded in. Cheap ass, knock off wheels with curb rash so bad I don't know how they still held air, bald BALD tires, looked like somebody had jumped on the roof and it smelled like wet dog. Needless to say I had no concern over beating on it during the drive. Pretty sure the sales person peed a little and she was a bit shaky when we came back to the lot. Sure was fun watching her bounce around in the car wearing the tight sweater though.

Yea my guess is they didnt want to let people really test drive them still for what ever reason. They only had the one and it was inside the show room so took them 30 minutes to get it outside so I could even drive it. Got mine back in march 2013. Ordered it in January 2013.

My dealer had 5 or 6 on the lot and the one I first saw in the showroom (the one I bought) but the beat one was right there and available so that was the easiest. Wasn't going to make them haul one up from out back since I really wasn't there shopping for a car but just killing time while my Lancer got serviced next door. Ended up being the most expensive oil change in history!

Thanks for the offer Tcoat, appreciate it, but that's alittle to far for me 😬. Going to try a few more Toyota dealers. 👍

I think Richmond hill Subaru should have a 2016 for you to test drive. Might not be exactly the same as 2017, but you'll be able to get a general idea of the car's performance

My first test drive i was thoroughly unimpressed. But i read more reviews and got one anyways.
