Anyone gotten any play-time with one? Just saw one on the road and liked the looks of it.

goodbye head gasket and drivetrain.There is rumor of an STI version. As for power there are tuners who are already making changes to get 20-30% more power. Not cheap, but they are doing it. P&L has done a turbo conversion that is putting down 400whp. Which is insane given it's a 150whp stock car.
My minivan would not be mistaken for a sports car.so you don't care about your minivan?
Totally I have never bought a new car. Well then start shopping plenty of GTRs on cars.com and take me on a drive when you get it. If had my own garage I would have bought on for sure.
May as welllook at the Scion FRS sister car.heard they will be coming out with STI version. i am awaiting that.

Its not a manual but you should let me drive it anyway.i'd let you drive it and teach me how to drive stick. i know how to do it in theory but never actually done it.
my dirtbike is obviously manual...i figure if i can handle that, i can do it in a car.
so the reviews seem to say. here in LA, I'm keen to think it a fun car to drive, since "fast" is never an option. although, quick acceleration would be a nice bonus. however, i think the mpg "feature" would poop away quickly if they gave it more guts off the line. i don't care about top speed, as long as it can get to 85.The BRZ isn't supposed to be super fast. It's supposed to be fun to drive and handle really well and be affordable.
If you want fast, buy an STI.
RWD with perfect weight distribution a really low center of gravity. That's what the BRZ is all about.
but the Subaru is ok.F the scion. chicks drive scions. sorry i'm shallow like that.
toucheLesbos aren't chicks, man...
Roll it nao?Meh, Joe paid $16k, 430hp stock, 25mpg, fun to drive, parts is cheap.
<edit> It has pretty good acceleration, too.
+$2K for new shoes.
You can't drive a stick. A scion would be perfect.F the scion. chicks drive scions. sorry i'm shallow like that.
Same basic car. Get the BRZ and be a chick.F the scion. chicks drive scions. sorry i'm shallow like that.
I haven't driven one, actually. I sat in one in a dealership with a full-face helmet on, that's all.Paging Toshi to the white courtesy phone......
Looks like your list is very much as mine was. I thought I'd like that kind of car at this stage in my life, since I liked sporty/sports cars when I was younger. Turns out I'm more of a crank as I get older, and said cars don't really push my buttons any more.heard they will be coming out with STI version. i am awaiting that.

That is a good point. I would ad that a convertible is fun too. Really enjoy driving my friends convertible 911. All out speed and cornering is not the only thing that make up a fun driving experience.I haven't driven one, actually. I sat in one in a dealership with a full-face helmet on, that's all.

Having a low value, occasional use sporty car (Acura 3.2 CL Type S, in my case) around is good enough for me, even though that car wouldn't have won any magazine-racing wars even when new.
911 Turbo FTW.heard they will be coming out with STI version. i am awaiting that.
