    This is my journal for my BRZ. I picked it up yesterday, 6/9/12 with 9 miles on the odometer. So far it's stock, but I had a couple accessories put on at the dealership yesterday.

    • Rear diffuser
    • Auto-dimming mirror with homelink and compass

    A couple first impressions:

    1. The Satin White Pearl paint is gorgeous on this car
    2. The steering and shifting of the transmission are spot on.
    3. The seats....omg the seats are awesome. So comfy and the bolstering is ridiculous.
    4. The stereo sounds great! I might just add a subwoofer and be done with it.
    5. The wheels aren't as bad in person as they are online.

    I put about 90+ miles on it yesterday and already have a paint chip thanks to some one on the interstate kicking something up. :| I knew it was going to happen, just didn't expect it the first day.

    This.

    I really do like SWP on this car too. If you haven't seen the BRZ on BBS CH wheels, it is very pleasing.

    :rofl:

    I'm very surprised by the stereo in this. But with 8 speakers and already amplified, it better sound great!

    I'm not a mod anymore but this site has pretty generous sponsor offerings if you're wanting to advertise to the community. I'm sure you and Matt can talk more about it if he heads up that way.

    How's the legroom in the BRZ? :naughty:

    front seat or back seat?

    front: not too bad. over 6'1" and it'll be rough.

    rear: made for oompa loompas and insurance premiums

    even at 6'1" you'll be fine. I'm only 5'10", but I still had ample head room, and the seat still had about 3-4" before it was touching flush with the back seats. I think the uncomfortable height will probably be labelled around 6'3" or os

    I say back seats. There's just padding in the back behind the front seats...

    I am 6'5" or so and have a 36" inseam. I will be trying to cram myself in Matt's car in a couple of days.

    I am happy to report that I fit. I am 6'6', 210 with a 36" inseam and a 38" waist. I would suggest if you have over a 36" waist that you go on a diet. Holy Bolsters Batman!

    I have went from :| to

    Now, where is that STI version? If the STI version ends up being NA, I am all in. The BRZ could never be my daily driver as I have to haul too much stuff for my hobbies, but it would make an excellent toy though. Time for a diet. :rofl:

    I agree, I am so envious of those seats! For once there is a USDM Subaru with a seat that can provide side support for my skinny asian frame.

    The seats are epic. I can't speak for the stereo though.

    buying a car based on the seats?

    pass the crack pipe, please.
     
  48. longfury

    I like the looks, and the seats, and the interior and I will of course drive one at a later date before I actually buy it. I was just really impressed in person. When it comes to everything except driving it, I really like it.
