I have a 2.0L affected by all this cheating stuff. I considered the buyback, but I quickly discovered there are damn near zero decent family cars for sale in the United States. (Off topic, but seriously, just try looking for a well-handling wagon with a manual transmission. It turns out we already own a better family…

Yup. I bought my 2013 BRZ for barely over half of the new MSRP. Clean title, too.

Yup. When I bought my BRZ, I specifically shopped for the cheap version because I didn’t want push-button start. I always seem to lose the key if the car doesn’t require the key to be in the ignition while driving.

Depends what you’re looking for. I have a BRZ, and I think of it as a cheaper and more civilized alternative to a Lotus Elise/Exige. The WRX is nice, but the BRZ and Elise are both “an amazing steering rack with a car attached,” and that’s what I was shopping for. #JalopLife

It’s 400-500lbs lighter than an E46 330i, though.

Wow, this is amazing. I could spend the whole day and still not draw this well.

Yep, I commute on 101, can confirm.

With those wheels, it looks more like a C5 corvette than a Camaro/Firebird.

Tires.

I went to high school with Caitlin Bunt. She rocks.

I would be ok with that. I seriously considered a 228i before I bought my BRZ. Ultimately, I preferred the BRZ because it has more steering feel and more immediate turn-in. I would pay 228i/230i money for a turbo BRZ.

I remember reading on Wikipedia that it is FWD. It seems bizarre, but Ford did make a 4WD ranger, so I guess it just had the front part of that.

YES. The quality control is garbage. I typically order 5 pairs of my usual Levis 527 jeans from Amazon. I end up sending back at least 3 pairs because they are either too big or too small. All of them are the same size and color, according to the label. But, I haven’t found a better solution.

Mazda CX5

Yeah, I rented a CRZ Manual on Turo once. It wasn’t bad. It was about as powerful and chuckable as the non-turbo Fiesta SE that I used to have. The main gripe I had was the total lack of steering feel. Also, it is a tiny car with a ton of glass, so you could park it on a slightly warm day for a few minutes and it…

Make mine an E63 wagon.

Now I sort of want to get an X90 and then get the vanity plate “4X4 MX5"

The 53.9 cubic feet of cargo space in the new V90 is quite a bit less than the 67 cubic feet in my 1998 V70... progress?

Many Teslas do run on coal today... indirectly.

Those side windows are so ugly.
