    Hi Guys, Any Subaru BRZ owners out there? Has it been reliable for you ? Thinking about buying one, probably 2015 / 2015.
    Regards,

    There are a few GT86 owners on here I think. The BRZ is very rare in ireland.
    There are a few GT86 threads, search will throw them up.

    Hi. Not much of a poster here but I drive a BRZ. It hasn't given me an ounce of trouble. No Subaru we have had has given us any trouble ( we also have an Outback) . The BRZ is a joy to drive. The speedsters will tell you it is underpowered and I understand that point. It doesn't have the raw power of an STi but the BRZ will put a smile on your face every time you drive it. Only downside of it is the €750 road tax .

    Hello Sharkey, Thank you for the response. A BRZ pulled in beside me at the petrol pumps this weekend, he gave a similar positive story to yourself. One question I meant to ask him is does the car clear speed bumps or does it scrape them.  Whats your experience ?

    Hi SeanElec1,

    I drive over speed ramps every day and the BRZ clears them no problem.

    Hi guys, tempted by a BRZ! Anything other than the positives to report 8 months later?

    Are you guys using it as a daily driver or weekend machine?

    Any other tips/advice?
