My EXACT thoughts! Before I commited to my WRX, I test drove the BRZ. It was like getting back into my 4 door 2007 Si again, but without the "vtec" cross over, it's actually a 2 seater, RWD, handles a lot better, and is as torqueless as the Si. :roflpuke2::icon14:

Toyobaru :gtfo2:

someone in the market for a brz/frs probably either has a lot of money to spend, or no money to spend.

Consumer Reports survey found the BRZ/FRS worse than average in reliability.

I bought my 370Z to keep being the chic magnet I was when I had hair and a beat up Honda!!! Bald at 65, hoping a Z would make up for it!!!!!

out of this bunch our 370z is the hardest car to keep for a dad with family cause he would need at least
another car to do daily tasks...given he is a responsible dad. :icon17:

at least for me, it's not easy owning a Z and having 3 other cars to take care... while raising 2 kids. not enough time. :rofl2:

RE: demographics:
Does this seem correct?

Our own site poll does not resemble a median age of 51 for the Z.

This implies 55% are baby boomers or older?

I'm not convinced.

It's probably fairly accurate. Forums tend to skew toward the younger people.
