To BRZ Owners - Would you recommend BRZ?

[SubieNubie]

Yes, as long as you understand what your getting as a result. I don't think it's for everyone, but most would enjoy it. Honestly I would have seriously considered a miata if I could fit into one and an S2000 was more spacious. The BRZ, in my option, is checks all my boxes as a daily that the miata and s2000 can't.

I love mine and would absolutely buy it again. I also own a pretty heavily modified WRX that makes good power and has great suspension... and I like the BRZ more.

or just get an FR-S.

JUST KIDDING!...or am I?

Now, that's a big testimony coming from a WRX owner. To be honest, I'm just waiting to see the final specs or the 2014 WRX before pulling the trigger between WRX or BRZ.
I had driven the STi before and I was very impressed with the car.

In general, Subaru cars are in the highest demand now, due to their top quality.

You Can't get HID light with FR-S, can you? Like with BRZ base model?

[KelvinBRZ]

^no. BRZ base models have HID standard & LED DRLs. FRS 10 series however... has the HIDs...and GT86 DRLs if I'm correct.

Saw that with 10 series. Too much money for that plus Dealer markup on the 10 series. By then, it will be in $30K.

Also a previous (and current) WRX owner... This car does indeed target a slightly different audience than the WRX. If 4 doors, AWD, and luggage space are valuable to you, go with the WRX, if not... get the BRZ. No matter what the 2014 WRX specs are, it WILL NOT have the driving dynamics of the BRZ.

You can always modify the BRZ to get the straight line speed of a WRX, just look around the forum at all of the power options already on the market.

Or problem solved, one of each please :happy0180:

Good points on the differences.
I did a research on the Best RWD coups and BRZ came out the best, even better than Porsche. :happy0180:

Depends on how you want to use the BRZ I gave up on mine because access to the back seats was difficult, the road noise was high and I didn't feel like driving down south the 1200 miles. But of all the sports cars I have owned this was the most fun to drive.

That's cause everyone who could've replied differently already sold the car and stopped posting here.

I'd never buy two of anything, only because I like variety

Maybe if I won the lottery, I'd get two. One for the track, one for the street. Nvm, I don't have a real answer

[2013GTRNate]

I don't own a BRZ yet... I am waiting for the 2014 but, I have test driven both the BRZ and the GT86 and I will be buying one based on the test drive. I love SUBARU for their reliability and the BRZ in Limited Trim will compliment my Stable of cars well...

2013 GT-R
2014 Forester XT Touring w/eyesight
2014 BRZ Limited

I will be ordering the 2014's as soon as the info comes out on the BRZ!

I am stuck overseas until FEB next year or else I would already have a 2013.
