Default BRZ

Had a BRZ as a courtesy car again (for a couple of days this time not a couple of hours) while mine has been in for detailing.

Got to say it's a cracking little car, the steering is brilliant and it feels a lot more planted than it actually is, think more Italian in feel than Japanese.

Might not have the massive shove of the turbo variants most of us are used to but it's great fun to drive. I would suspect a great car for a young enthusiastic driver to learn the art of driving a rear driven motor, or something less demanding and easy to live with for the rest of us.

Anyone on here got one? Would anyone get one if they put fatter tyres, STi suspension and a hundred more horses under the bonnet?

It'd def be on my want list.

Have you seen the company in the US that have made a 400bhp + version. It's on youtube and looks and sounds awesome!

An owner of one who works for Subaru has been looking at the Crawford kit, seems very good. Anyone used them all I know is that they have a great rep in the USA.

I've not driven one, but I have to say they have my attention given what I've read about them - it's refreshing to see companies making something that (by all accounts) drives well rather than trying to outdo their market rivals in the BHP stakes. They're something I'd look at in a few years time when someone else has taken the hit on the depreciation
