I love the cars, but I dont think theyre worth the money. If I want to get a low-cost, sporty car... Id wait for the Hyundai Veloster Turbo. Its cheap, decently fast and cute!

Just fly over to Norcal, buy one off the lot and drive home. It will be a great roadtrip and worth saving several grand.

I love the cars, but just my opinion; I dont know if I could pay anything over 22-23k for something like that. Especially since its something I would end up needing to modify... :P

That's what I thought as well... Why the hell is that a $33K car? No thanks.

Both are nice entry-level RWD sports cars. But they are just that... entry level.

Agreed. $23k for the Scion... $25k for the Subaru and maybe I'd look. No way I'd spend $30k+ on one of these...

The truth is, they are. Fully loaded BRZ should cost you $30K OTD. FRS price is rock solid. What you see is what you pay. Are you in?

sti4thewin is infamous around these parts

My friend bought his brz for 29k. Markup is way too high on the brz's, not worth it at all in my opinion. maybe a turbo'd version for 30k would be reasonable

I am thinking soon you will be able to buy cheap aftermarket add-ons kicking that power up to 300 horses.. It is a flat four engine and Subaru and their tuners know a thing or two about those engines.

im pretty sure imma be picking up the brz. BUT i will wait for sti version to come out, wheather it be turbo or not doesnt matter. and buying the first year production cars is stupid. but this car has a lot going for it.
