Went a Subaru dealer that a fellow cyclist works at to drive a new WRX Hatch they got in when I noticed they had a nice 2013 silver BRZ Premium sitting there. I had concerns about fitting in one (has issues in the past), but we fiddled extensively with the seat and steering wheel and found a position that works. Drove it and thought it was really fun. Then I drove the WRX, which was more powerful, bigger and not as much fun. The gearbox wasn't nearly as good, nor was the driving position and handling.
Even better, as a leftover 2013, the dealer really was motivated to move this on. It had 5 miles on it (aka nobody had driven it) still, and the winter and the 2014's were coming. They made me an offer so good, I just had to take it. So here she is:

Sweet! Congrats.
I was also seriously underwhelmed with a test drive of a WRX, and that was coming from owning an '05 Mazda 3s for 7 years. Gearbox and interior were considerably worse than my Mazda. Good to hear the BRZ is better.
All you Opponauts need to buy a ton of these, so there will be plenty to be had on the used market in 10 years when my son starts driving.

Always nice to welcome another toyobaru! Hurry up and break it in so you can take it to some autocross (and some rallycross if you're feeling brave). These things are so much fun

You got one without the $5K "we're an asshole Subaru dealer and we're selling this car 5 grand above sticker price because we can" tax?
I would have jumped on it too. Due to popularity my local Subaru dealership was marking them up by around $7,000. So I got the cheaper, more powerful, more versatile car, that I agree, has a terrible 5-speed in comparison.
Congratulations! She's a beauty.
