I am in this forum since a short time and forgot to introduce myself. Sorry for that, I will catch up on that right now......
I am Markus (or Nick), way above 40, and since about 3 weeks proud owner of a Subaru BRZ. At first I ordered a GR86, but as I got no confirmation if that is going to be delivered at all, I switched to the BRZ, which by the way suits better for me. Long time to wait for delivery, though.
I am working in the automotive industry, long time in engine development (so I like the boxer also because of professional reasons), and changed over to battery development last year. I like that job, old one and new one, and the company I am working for (mostly, not always). But as time goes by I am facing my retirement next year.
So this is the car to garantee further excitement and to play around with for the next years.
I have driven many cars in the last 20 years, due to my job, partially with >>500hp, but never before one that is putting a smile on my face at this price level. Or at that performance level. So my choice seems to be prooved as a good one.
Nearly no complaints. Tire noise for example: yes. Check. As driving is so easy and reliable, this is the prize that has to be paid. Don't think I will add damping.
Sound system: yes. Check. No reason to buy this car, but usable. And with the adjustment modifications from this forum quite OK.
Keyless go: yes. Cool. Works better than on my basic car, a C300, that I have to return next year.
And so on. As i said: no real complaints.
What else? I am located in the soutern part of germany. With a bit of envy I follow the posts about exhaust systems. Not much allowed here, very soon I will install a Milltek, and then refuse further thinking about that.
Rims on the list as well, but next year. Car is at 1000km roughly, still not quite run in yet.
Fine to be here. I found lots of useful informations, thanks for that!
Wishing all of you a nice weekend and some empty winding roads!!
