2013 Subaru BRZ Sport-tech 2.0L from North America

Summary:

No regrets, love my car

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Bought my car in June 2012, was the first one out of the dealership. I do all the maintenance myself, and there hasn't been much to do. Oil changes twice a year, and that's about it. The car has been extremely reliable, I never had the "knocking" that some owners experience. I have driven this car hard as well, it's a solid car.

The car has enough power. It's misleading, but driving it, you really feel like you're flying. The throttle response is instant. A turbo would ruin this car. It handles like a dream. I can take onramps at over 100km/h with no wheel slippage. Even in winter, I just put some weight in the back and with good tires it's no problem at all. Much better than a 2wd truck which I had in the past.

My only complaint is the fact that it takes premium fuel, but I'm averaging 8.2L/100km so it evens itself out.

Even after 5 years, it still turns heads, and I love the looks. Everywhere I go, I take the longest route possible because the journey is so much fun in this car.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Is there any real difference with these cars and the Toyota GT86?

Probably not much, they seem identical or very close in stats on paper in regards to power, weight and dimensions.
