I never understood dealers not letting ppl test drive those cars. At Porsche they beg you to test drive their cars. Yet I wasn't able to test drive an STi? Wtf? Or maybe they know if you test drive it you'll not want it anymore.

To be honest I drop a base model STI two or three weeks ago it only had like the shortshifter installed I think.

after the test drive I was ready to hand in my Z's keys.

now I still don't know what to get;

STI cuz AWD
or challenger SRT8 cuz POWER and V8 noise but it's RWD plus it has an AT

What else am I going to get a beamer or grandpa mercedes. there is literally nothing interesting to me other than murican or something like the ST/evo. plus as if the Z isn't boy racer/ricer material.

not many interesting cars out there after all the emissions/fuel economy bullcrap happened.

atleast I don't want racing stripes combined with 22 inch rims while slammed as much as possible. also sideways hat.

to be more on topic. to this day I still haven't seen a BRZ on the road. the toyotas are plentifull.

I test drove my sti, and some porsches. When I was shopping for my vette, the salesman said I couldn't td without a credit check. He said, "it's not like you can just drive a 911". I said, "funny, I drove two last week, and they insisted that I drive the new boxster s while I was there."

I was surprised to read how few BRZ and FR-S cars were actually sold, especially given all the love the automotive press has give these cars. But I suppose no amount of hype will make up for an actual test drive. Great looking car, but I was thoroughly unimpressed when I drove it.

I also think that the BRZ is way overpriced. Increase the HP by at least 50 and reduce the price to about 25k and it will be a very popular car.

I even think 25k is too expensive. Just 5k more and you get a base Z. If you are good at haggling then you can probably get one with sport for 5k more.

if it was 20k for the current BRZ/FRS, then that would be considered reasonable for me.
