Default Any BRZ Owners on here?

How do you rate the car? Have you upgraded the performance at all? They seem quite a fun car to 'play' with. Did you compare to the GT-86?

I have had fairly long test drives in both the GT86 and BRZ, and couldn't tell the difference between the two except the interior on the GT86 seemed a bit better and the BRZ looked better on the outside - I think it looks great in WR Blue.

I found the performance on both seriously lacking so haven't bought one - the lack of pull below 5000rpm is infuriating.

The Cosworth upgrade 2 looks very interesting but no price or timescale yet which could leave you high and dry if you bought one to upgrade.

My wife has a GT86

great fun car, but as said it is lacking in the power dept, Cosworth do a decent priced stage 1 tune though

its not a car for power but one for fun.....

Have you had a quote for Stage 1 fitted can't seem to get a price from the 'official' suppliers?

I was all set to buy one then went for an extended test drive. Handling was superb but the lack of power, even if expecting it, put me off plus the piped into the cabin engine noise was horrendous.
