I'm 64 years old, this car is a gas to drive. cornering, handling, is very tight. I've been averaging 29 miles to a gallon. The bucket seats have nice supporting sides, instruments are very nice the controls are at your finger tips. I like not having all the horns and whistles on the steering wheel. The automatic climate control is very good too.

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.

More than expected

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.

There aren't enough corners

The BRZ is just too slow in a straight line. It should've come with 300 hp from the factory. However, the feel, balance and handling of the car is second to none. The steering is sublime. The brakes are worthless after 20 min on the track but brake kit upgrades are available. Swapped the stock wheels for 18"wheels/tires and lowered it 1". The car now looks the way it should've come. The driving position is perfect, the seats are as good as Recaros, the extra features of the Limited version is well worth the cost. The torque dip at 4K rpm sucks but a tune can fix the problem. Only wish I lived near twisty roads!
