I find myself wanting a BRZ again. Why are there so many cars to buy and why do I have no money?

Small, RWD, manual. Why not get a 128i instead? Reliability? I’ve put 13.5k on my 8 year old N52 powered BMW in 5.5 months.

Because the BRZ is awesome!

The Performance Package BRZ is one of the few cars that I’ve actually considered taking on a new car payment for. I just can’t bring myself to do it though...

Because I’m a man who is dreaming and is in no financial position to buy a new car.
Also, new car warranties are swell.

I have come to the conclusion that the Miata is better long term buy. One of those may be in my future. An ND Club with 4k miles is like $22k.

It seems like a great car to get better at driving stick on, while also being fun. If I had the money and space, I’d get one in a heartbeat.

The BMW is 500lbs heavier, harder to find with a manual, and won’t be as fun or cheap to run at an autox or trackday. The 128i is a better commuter car though and definitely nicer inside. The BRZ has more trunk space and can a bigger backseat too (which is funny, because it only barely has back seats).

Eh. I like Mazda, I don’t care for the Mitata.

I drove my Dad’s 2017 Series.Yellow 3 miles a few weeks back and I have been scheming how to get him to give it to me ever since.

Buy a used white 86. Paint half of it black. Put Japanese stickers on the side. Add sports rims. Go chase down a skyline and start drifting with it during the night. Boom. Profit

My girlfriend already loves Eurobeat, so it should be an easy sell.

She’s a keeper. Marry her for Eurobeat alone.

For me it’s either the BRZ/86, Elise or the new Supra whenever it comes out.

Depends on the year/mileage, but you can get them for under 20k now. Good luck finding a manual though.

That’s the exact BRZ I want.
I took a 20K-mile FR-S Series 10 on a test drive last summer and I’ve been scheming as to how I’m going to get my hands on one since. Though I do get distracted by the occasional MR2 or 4Runner from time to time.

It’s such a good looking car in Yellow. It’s just coming out of the break in period now and I am really looking forward to seeing what it can do at autocrosses next year.

Forget used, you can buy a leftover 2016 Club for 22-24k. If you wait a few more months, you can probably get a leftover 2017 for about that much.

I’m waiting for future cheap ones with blown engine/trans problems.
I want to put at least a 2AR 4-cyl rwd setup into one and have a real GT86, powered by straight 4 like our good Toyota Motor Corp intended *shakes fist*.
Or be the anti-car a-hole and put a gen3 prius drivetrain into one.
