Woot! My BRZ arrived early

Got a call this morning and I'm at the dealership now. Assuming that we get the numbers crunched, I should be able to post photos later today.

Congrats!

Just out of curiousity. Are you getting MSRP on your deal?

Just got back. I'll post a pix or two later today when I have access to a computer. It was Roberts Automall in Downington. Reasonable experience. We had a bit of a debate over my trade in (2000 328i w/sports package) so that took some time to work out. Got the BRZ for $200 off MSRP but keep in mind that was because we were off on the trade in. In the end I was happy with the deal, all things considered.

How does the steering feel in comparison to your BMW sport steering?

I used to have a Z4 and a 128i with sports package, the 128i's feel was amazing...

Choppy replies because I've only been able to post from my iPhone.

Apples to oranges when compared to my 328i. Stick is completely different. Much shorter. Feels like a race car. Steering is supurb. Smaller steering wheel. Tight. Great visibility. Not a muscle car (doesn't snap your neck). Feels... Fluid? Seat hugs you. Engine sounds awesome.

Have to run to a party--like I said I wasn't expecting it until next week. I was first out of four allocated.

Oh. The white definitely has a bit more cream in it than I expected, but instill dig it.
