Default BRZ, impressions?

So, the BRZ has been aropund for a little while now. I'm just interested to find out how many people have driven one or bought one, and what their opinion is of the little coupe.
Personally, I've taken our demo out a few times and I love it. Subaru hit the mark in what they wanted to achieve with car. I would definitely have one in my shed. It's just great fun.

Saw a blue on the road yesterday in West Perth. I really like the looks of it and I think you are spot on John. For the $$ it looks to be a great little package.

I have seen 4 or 5 Toyota 86's, but no BRZ so far

I think they look fantastic and have massive potential.

I can only comment on the 86 that I've been in, but currently, even at RRP (never mind the crack pipe $50k+ carsales ads) I think they are a little overpriced for what they are and what they include. But due to the limited supply and 'omg RWD' factor they have been snapped up like hotcakes. The NA is ok, but didn't scream performance RWD car to me. It would suck to have one and get beaten at the traffic light drags by a standard hatch.

Factory turbo version with some tyres that are wider than a space saver (and decent supply to Australia)? Yes please.

Edit: The potential for rigidness in pants with the car is unreal. Just needs the go to match the show.

TROLLEY, rjb and CM_92 like this.

There's a white one parked out the front of work today. Definately has some presence about it. My brother is apparently going to put his deposit down this weekend - they said once pricing for the STi kit is released he can add it to his order then

Driven an 86 for what they are its great. Suits new homes salesmen etc. Slow and lethargic compared to what most of us drive. But yer potentials there and they look mint.

If it was turbo from factory it would be perfect, N/A doesnt do it for me imo but lots of potential
