The 25mm ones I have are well worth it though and changes the appearance of the car

I'm not sure if this is well known but I got fed up with the keyless fob only opening the driver's door.  I researched it and found out how to make door entry unlock both doors.
Sit inside the car, engine off.  Press and hold both the unlock and Subaru logo buttons on the fob for at least 10 seconds.  You will get a single beep.  Driver's door entry will now unlock the passenger door, too.

Yes, 2017 ex dealer demo.

I've got a white one.  It's my first white car and I'm pleased with the way it looks.

Those were Varrstoen ES2 18x9.5 ET35 

Welcome from another newbie! Just got my (1st) BRZ. I think the stripes look fine and should look good on that colour.

My first impressions: the BRZ is a grown up sports car. The handling in today's damp conditions was precise and I got the feeling that balancing it in the damp conditions was very controllable. No tail out silliness, just very easy to feel when traction is at its limit.  The way it rides (surprisingly comfortable) and holds the road is impressive.  Steering is well weighted and the gearbox not as notchy as I'd expected.
The big revelation is the engine: what a cracker!  Nowhere near as gutless as some people were claiming, it revs superbly well and makes a fantastic noise.  Overall, it's much quieter than my CR-Z was (with its supercharger and resonated cat-deleted exhaust) which I appreciated today on the A303.  If this is how it is now, what's it going to be like when I get the TD NA package?
Very, very impressed with my first drive and looking forward to my 30 mile commute to work tomorrow.  Going to park it next to my colleague's new white MX-5

Congrats. Very nice. Enjoy.  

...and here it is having just enjoyed a three hour drive back from Plymouth.

Hi all,
i picked up my GT86 the other weekend, on my birthday. And they are just SO MUCH FUN!!
Even in standard tune. very easy to get the back end out. Just typical that i haven't had the weather to enjoy it really.
 
Its not the first RWD car i have owned, but its fun getting back into how they drive compared to a FWD / 4WD car. I'm just in the process of selling my Toyota Surf, which has a 2" lift and slightly larger tyre's on it. So a bit of a change.
But i have been using a Lotus Elise as a track day car with my dad as of a few years back now, and i figured i wanted something a bit more exciting once more as my daily driver. 
I'm sure i'll see some of you around sooner or later.

I'm going down to Plymouth to look at a BRZ tomorrow.  2017 facelift white with only 3100 miles on the clock.

Ok, the CR-Z is up for sale and I'm transferring my personal plate off it.  I've priced it keenly so hopefully it'll move fast.  Meanwhile I'm looking at what white facelift BRZs are for sale on Autotrader and there are two manuals.  I'm probably going to take a trip to see one next week.  Exciting!

Thanks, all! Yes, looking at a facelift BRZ demo car with low mileage. I surprise myself by rather liking it in white, I think it accentuates the swooping coupe shape.
I've already dropped Mike a PM on possibly booking him for March or so.
Thanks, Kevin, you're very close and I'll keep that in mind.

It's been a while but I'm getting close to making a decision on a nearly new BRZ.  Just letting you all know that I haven't gone away!

Thanks, Kevin.  I'll take you up on that closer to the time.
Where is the best discussion of unequal length headers, cats and overpipes?
 

Hi All
I currently have a Honda CR-Z with Sprintex supercharger, which is a great car that I've really enjoyed owning and working on.  I recently had it tuned to 190bhp, not bad for a 1.5l hybrid that still gives me 43mpg.  My payments finish next year and I'm planning on buying a BRZ as my next car.  I've joined this forum to start learning what's best to look for in a young used model and how to yield a little more power than standard.
Cheers
Martin

Stock 2nd cat is fine, "some" aftermarket 2nd cats are also fine. No visual inspection is done.
