You chose wisely, the current BRZ is under powered for a 'performance' car.

I'm with aaaccc10, I almost bought a BRZ. There was a new loaded model that a local dealer had been sitting on for a while, but the night before I was going to go up and make the deal, but the power curve, and NVH/general feel of the car just weren't quite right. A nice Ashen Gray 2SS popped up on a local dealer used lot that same night, and the rest is history.

That being said, one of my friends looked at a new WRX, and after riding in it, if the BRZ had even that motor, and that torque curve, I probably wouldn't be on this forum. I have no regrets, obviously, but a turbo would turn what's already a good car into a great one.

Fun little cars if you under 6ft and 200 pounds.

Im 5'10 250ish. Thats what kept me out of one. They are so tiny

It is not just power they lack. Their brakes are terrible and they have a lot of road noise in the cabin.

Damn shame Pontiac was shutdown, the Solstice was far better than the current BRZ/FRS.

I'm skinny enough for the seats, but my shoulders are definitively too wide for the shoulder bolsters, and when I sit where I like, which is far less gangster-leaned than most people, my seat back almost touches the front of the rear seats, making it a two-seater. they're not exactly 'Murica scale.

This would be very nice canyon carver for those who live near mountain roads (SoCal) and short tracks like Streets of Willow.
