Nope, not everyone. The silver looks good. I almost bought one, but someone beat me to it. Then I found a Raven FR-S. Rest is history.

I think the Silver one looks good in photos, never seen it in person. White is nice, though I have always liked white cars.
Almost got red, actually. Gray was a close third. On the roads I've seen only white or blue BRZ. The Subaru dealer told us white, wrblue, and black were by far the most popular BRZ colors they've sold.

Had my BRZ since Oct, and I LOVE IT! Just joined the group today because, due to some life circumstances, I might need to sell it! I'll be posting it soon in the classifieds (when I finally get permissions to do so)

My 2013 WRB BRZ is fantastic! Drives beautifully around town. Off to my first track day in it later this month.

Really love how it feels fast, but you're not really going all that fast. Weird, but I actually like it.

Also, it surprisingly gets a lot of attention, actually more attention than the '08 Z06 and the '12 GTR that I had (what can I say, I get restless and I just love cars no matter brand/model/price). I probably hear someone commenting that it's a really nice looking car about 3-4 times a week. I think, though, I attribute 50% of that to the WRB color, which is absolutely beautiful - both former cars were black...

Now some criticisms - all the attention is from men... Wait, one girl. But she was a two bagger.

One major criticism of the paint on the BRZ - I clay barred it yesterday for the first time and noticed many patches of roughness on the paint. Visually it is not noticeable, but it is very obvious to the touch. Seems like a poor job at the factory paint shop. Also seems to have fewer coats than the Z06 and GTR (already some super tiny rock chips @ 1600 miles), but then again it is a different price point. What can I say, I'm obsessive about keeping it nice.

Hey guys. Thought I'd officially introduce myself on this thread.
I am 21 years old and I currently live in Victoria for school. I received my Silver BRZ sport-tech (limited) 6MT on 5/23. It is a fantastic car and comparing the handling to my previous Audi A4 2.0T, is like night and day. I love the precision and almost nonexistent body roll.
I have so far put 1200km on it and can't wait until I have fully broken in the engine. I plan on putting some quality mods (exhausts/ intake first, then rims/tires, then turbo/kit) but all in due time as I would like to get bored of the stock goodies first.
I will keep you guys all posted on the progress of the car.

Hi everyone, how's it going? Just picked up my BRZ (Sterling) on Saturday. His name is Chanyeol:



6 Spd Manual, premium package.

Longtime Subaru loyalist here - most of my cars have been Subaru ('97 Outback Impreza, '97 Legacy [still running on mostly original parts, and in the capable hands of my gearhead brother], '03 Forester) except for the last 5 years, I've had a Mitsubishi Lancer ES Sedan which is frankly a great car, but the bran flakes of driving pleasure.

I LOVE my BRZ. Not yet broken in (got to 350mi today!) so I haven't fully tested his capabilities yet, but I can't wait to put him to the test. I'm new to car culture and workings, so I'm slowly gleaning info and learning.

Is anyone here from Las Vegas? I would love to meet some folks.

SWP Limited, manual, popular package 1a. This will be my DD for the next X years, I commute to work about 100 miles round trip per day, I hope this lasts me.

I went on a Saturday for a test drive and I loved it. I told my salesman to find a white one for me, he told me he would do a search within 100 mile radius and get back to me. 2 days later I get a call, he tells me a SWP limited 6spd just came in on a delivery truck coincidentally. I told him its sold and to not touch it (leave the plastic on everything, no detailing etc). I get there the next day and it's still wrapped up just like I asked (plastic on seats\wheels\hood) etc, and only 4 miles on the clock. 1hr later the paperwork is done and I take the drive home. This car reminds me so much of driving an S2000, and one major thing I hated about the S2000 is the canvas top.. I always wish Honda would have made a coupe version, or hard-top vert. The BRZ feels like a hard-topped S2000 with backseats, with a little less power of course. At approx 400 miles now and can't wait to be broken-in so I can beat on it a little.

If anyone is in NJ area, I highly recommend World Subaru in Tinton Falls. No haggling and I paid $27,100 before fees\taxes etc. MSRP was 28500 or something.

Hey guys. Just picked up my WRB BRZ last week. I've been lurking on this forum for awhile, and I've been looking to change up from my genesis coupe so I finally pulled the trigger.

Now the hard decision of going turbo or supercharged, and to further complicate it gredddy, ptuning, fullblown, vortech, or HKS lol.. decisions decisions.

Hi folks. Put a deposit on a CBS BRZ Limited 2 weeks ago. Dealer just called and said it was delivered this morning! The only things I am hesitant about is the color and a MY2014 release. They've had a WRB Premium at this dealer for a while. The WRBP color catches my eye the most but I wanted a Limited and it might be a little too flashy for my tastes. I would like to see SWP or SS in person but I don't think I can wait any longer!!
