LOL!!!

Our brakes suck, I doubt the stock brakes are strong enough to rip the torsion beam LOL.

That'll buff out..

$34k.. I may consider the CLA instead for sure!

Considering this day and age, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to have a "NICE" car without it going to shit. When people have zero faith in their $25k-$30k subcompact cars, there is seriously wrong with this picture that we totally accept cars to fail so often and so early. Some things...

If that logic is right, then we're all idiots for buying any new car over $20k..

Wow that doesn't say much for what these cars cost..

BRZ/FR-S is unusable to any average 5'4"-5'8" adult and the trunk can fit maybe 3 bags of luggage. When people claim they are going to use that car for "practical reasons" they are only kidding themselves. It's not a practical car, it's a car built for one reason, not multiple.

I like this car a lot! The lines are very intriguing and the price point is "affordable" (that stings when referring to a $30k+ car these days but I have to admit it really is affordable considering what you're purchasing.)

Thanks for this info. So.. he either had an older '10 GTI? Or.. he has no idea what he's talking about.

LOL glad it made you laugh, it almost made me spit up my food when I thought it in my head. Some people have no conversation skills at all. I would respect him if he asked "Hey, Mike, how are you enjoying your GTI? That's a really nice car, hey have you heard of this issue?" and come to me...

No kidding. He seemed totally offended when I told him I had EcoBoost long before Ford did with both my Mazdaspeed 3's and the CX-7.

So..we're sitting at the table enjoying a great Christmas dinner. My family knows I generally enjoy and support foreign automakers after years of disappointing crap coming out of the almighty Big 3. Then, a friend of the family chimes in (who happens to be a Ford engineer) and says: Engineer...

From now on, absolutely.
