New GT86 Owner in Waiting.

[New GT86 Owner in Waiting.]

Hi Chris, the GT86 and BRZ appeal to experienced drivers (I'm 47). What have you owned before?

[New BRZ owner]

I own a BRZ and also came from a DC2! Welcome.

[2nd year service]

Bell & Colvill charged me £340 for the first service, which is little more than an oil change, and they didn't even use the right oil. Not sure where I will go next year, but probably not to a Subaru dealer!

Cheers, I'll look into that.Running in: There are no particular running in procedures from Subaru. What do people recommend?Fuel: 98RON recommended, but "95RON may be used with no detriment to durability or driveability." Do we all use Super Unleaded?

Finance confirmed! Hopefully will be able to collect the car at the weekend.To make some of the younger members jealous: Fully comp insurance for me (45) and my wife: £156 a year.

Thanks for the advice peeps. Keep it coming!Don't think the arm rest centre console cover is an option on the BRZ. Someone on here should know.Finance proposal form has been signed...

My current car is an Impreza P1 which is brutally fast, but always breaking and I am fed up of spending money on it. I test drove a BRZ a few months ago and although I was a little underwhelmed with the engine, I loved everything else. A session round Spa in a mate's MX5 made me realise that big power is not essential to have lots of fun.The availability of various power upgrades convinced me to go for it, as I will be able to bolt on more power in the future if necessary.

The one I am looking at is black. My first choice was the blue, but I'm not too fussed and B&C have a black one ready to go. It already has the satnav head unit, but they are not charging me for it.

I'm planning to buy a car from stock, so shouldn't have to wait too long!

I'm about to commit to a new BRZ SE Lux. Any tips or "things I wish I'd known when I bought mine" that you could post would be gratefully received!E.g. "Get the Toyota" or "If you ask this...you can get a big discount"Cheers, Alex.P.S. I'm in Chiddingfold near Godalming, Guildford. Currently dealing with Bell & Colvill.
