It really is a fun car to drive, and you don't need to be going fast. It looks great, I like the inside a lot. The seats are really comfortable (I'm 6'4"), and there's plenty of room. The value is amazing, HID's, spoiler, the keyless access is cool, It's pretty much fully loaded. So far it's been 10 months, and I haven't had any problems. I've driven it in winter, and the traction control is awesome, it really keeps the car in line. I didn't really have much problems in the snow/ice.

Direct injection with carbon fouling on intakes

If you buy this car start saving up for the pricey expense of walnut shell blasting of your intake valves. Why the heck Subaru doesnt imitate Toyota and couple Direct Injection with Port Injection to automatically clean the intakes is beyond me....I guess it keeps their mechanics and their bottom line healthy. Also, the 2.0 like the 2.5 can often see the Subaruish blown head gaskets especially on vehicles pushed like one would with the BRZ. One day perhaps Subaru will wake up and find out that there is a reason that even Porsche wants to get away from the boxer design. Its as dated a concept as the Harley Motorcycles V twin design. Looks and sounds great but......man, talk about ancient engineering!! These cars do handle wonderfully however and when they arent draining your wallet on sure to occur costs they are a blast to drive......its just too bad that too many trips are made to visit ones Subaru mechanic as only a madman would go to a Subaru dealer...not after the work it took consumers to get the 2.5 liter engine head gasket problems seen to........it took a class action lawsuit to maybe get that problem fixed.

My wife wanted a sports car and we looked at a lot of different models but she fell in love with the BRZ. It took a while to find one but we finally found one in inventory in ATL that was not let in dealer stock and went in and put down a deposit. We had drove the Scion version and it was OK but not great so we weren't sure if we would buy it when it came in. It was well worth the wait. Drives much better that the FRS and quality of interior and the few upgraded options are great. Great driving little car! IF you can find one it's a great car.

This car is such a blast to drive, the handling is good, and the gas mileage is stellar. The only downside is that it does get rather loud on the highway.
