Practicality:
Unlike some other sport or sporty cars the BRZ can carry golf clubs. The vestigial rear seats can accommodate one adult sitting sideways for short trips, or my wife's purse. I have been averaging 7.1 l/100 km so far in 60/40 highway/city usage. As it is a Subaru I can get parts and service throughout Canada. Unable to carry a hockey bag but it should manage a snowboard or two.



Unable to carry a hockey bag? does not fit in the trunk? with stick in front?

thanks

I get to drive the BRZ next week.  Race car stiff?  I bet I'll think it's marshmallow soft :P

so? still think it's marshmallow soft?

Golf clubs?  Pics or it didn't happen.  :popo:

Rear seats fold down. So clubs and sticks fit.  Ride is cushy :-)

speaking of "cool cars", i saw a mint Acura NSX on my way home from work today...man, after about 20 years (it looked to be an early 90s model), that car still looks great...out of curiosity, have any of you guys ever driven one (review)?...fun?
