    Drove a BRZ, and what you wrote is pretty much word for word how I felt.

    The gearbox is unbelievably good for a car in this price range--why can't EVERYONE do this? And the lower center of gravity is a huge advantage.

    You're still driving on tires that don't belong on that beast, can't believe they didn't go with something wider and stickier. Put some stickier rubber on that sucker, and I'm wagering you won't be missing the MINI too much.

    Can't wait for pics!

    Welcome home. I thought cars were always female, but my wife has dubbed him Sir Clive.

    The colour doesn't look right at all, it isn't black in person. It's more of a dark grey with sparkley bits. Come to think of it, it reminds me of our kitchen counters, which reminds me of food.:drool time for dinner!

    Very nice, I have given the FRS/BRZ some thought as a track car, I wonder. :)

    Nice! Love the color, they had one of those on the lot the last time I drove by. Everywhere else they're impossible to get, we had 3 BRZ's on the lot the last time I checked, go figure...They won't be there long though.

    The same words came out of my mouth when I had my EVO.

    Extremely unlikely I would either, unless something catastrophic happened to the car.

    Do you have any interior pictures? I'm curious to see how it looks in there.

    The web is full of pictures & videos of the FRS/BRZ twins. A nice car I could be very happy with.

    grodenglaive I'm glad to hear the shifter has a nice action. Most Subaru's with manuals I have driven have not had stellar shift feel. Maybe they are using a Toyota sourced box.
