One of the best cars I’ve owned

I’ve owned multiple sports cars and this is one of the best in terms of value. It’s not the fastest in a straight line but that’s not what it’s designed for. It handles so well in the turns and is still comfortable for doing long road trips. They are super easy to modify and super easy to work on.

Definitely exceeded expectations

Pros: -Handles like a dream, really fun to drive -Quick for a 4-cylinder -Slick looking inside and out -Extremely reliable Cons: -Rear seats only good for car seats or animals -Fairly loud, minimal soundproofing -Not the easiest to get in and out of due to how low the seats are

I’ve never had issues with the BRZ

This car is not only stylish and sophisticated, but it is easy to drive and I feel very safe driving it even though it’s a smaller car. It’s extremely comfortable and has never given me serious issues I can’t fix. I truly love this car.
