How can you test drive a BRZ?

I am in eastern Connecticut and would like to test drive a BRZ to see if I really want to buy it. Is there a list somewhere of where demo cars will be visiting to test drive?

You'll probably have to call around to individual dealers. The only way they'd have one for you to test drive is if one of their pre-orders backed out or if they haven't sold out (unlikely).

The other way is to just order a car yourself. The deposit is normally refundable if you drive it and don't like it.

U'll probably have better luck finding an FRS to test drive. All BRZs coming in are pretty much spoken for at this point. GL

Looks like there's plenty sitting on lots in your general area.

There are a few around here still available, but probably won't be available for a few months. I wanted to test drive a BRZ before buying one myself, so I put down a refundable deposit. If I like the car, I'll buy it, if not I can walk away with my deposit.

Thanks, that may actually work. I expected all cars to be spoken for, but I am waiting on a call back that a car may be available to test drive in a few days.

You can take my ticket for the FR-S test drive event at Gillette Stadium - my friend's getting his BRZ this week and he'll let me drive it, so I don't really need the FR-S test drive anymore. PM me
