The BRZ is a nice car... it was my second favorite after driving every sport and muscle car under $40K. But it is too slow. It badly needs a turbo. If it came in an STI model it would be a real player. Until then, I'd stay away. You will get bored with a NA 2 liter motor. The Z lacks a little in driver feel but over all performance and especially straight line performance is a whole different level. Nissan just lowered the MSRP on '14's by 3K mostly to compete with the BRZ. For low 30's you can get a '14 base Z with the sport package. You get a lot more car for you $$$ with the Z. A limited BRZ is close to 30K and it needs a $5K Vortech and then it still wouldn't have the balls of a stock Z. Good luck with your choice. I struggled with the same choice in September last year and choose the Z. I'm glad I did.
