Xyster101 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Made a thread a while ago about my wife wanted a new car. She wanted: 5 speed Red sporty Unique Test Drove: A3 A4 A5 CTS Genesis G37 370z FR-S at a driving event Looked at a Lotus Mustang, Camero, corvette are a dime a dozen so they were out. We ordered a BRZ 4 months ago and picked it up today, on her 33rd birthday, great gift! Say what you want about lack of power, I wanted one and I am glad she picked a BRZ over a soft handling A5. No mods, no track for a few years until I get full custody of it. I have my track rat MR2 for that. http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/cars/DSC_8650.jpg http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/cars/DSC_8648.jpg http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/cars/DSC_8655.jpg I filled the car with helium balloons for her birthday before she took delivery of it! http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq342/xyster101/cars/DSC_8661.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Nice! A good handling car that doesn't have too much power......perfect for a woman too....meaning they won't likely get in trouble too easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I don't normally like red cars but it looks better in red than the darker color the other member here has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossle Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 A5??? 370z???? And you picked up a (new-age) MIATA? They were probably looking for a more out of the box "driver's car". Those are not the first cars that come to mind when I think of a driver's car... Congrats Max, I remember when you guys were going out to look test drive a handful of these. Nice range, but not surprising what you chose. What would choice #2 have been? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyster101 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Thanks for the "women's car" comments, haters. I have not driven it yet, but will tomorrow. Talked about looking at a Miata, but too small and they are not unique. Wife is 5'10" and I am 6'4" and we both fit just fine, steering wheel teloscopes! #2 car would have been a 370z if I had my say, but she wanted the red A5 (manual) The Why Nots: A5 - not sporty enough for me, a touring car, heavy G37 - same reason CTS - did not fit, not a fan of wooden steering wheel, very plastic feel inside Genesis 2.0T - was slow for the weight of it, plus horrid sales person. 370Z - expensive for what you get, felt heavy and disconnected I am also comparing all this to my MR2 which is a great drivers car that has stiff suspension and handles fantastic.

ForeverMaker Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Genesis 2.0T - was slow So get a BRZ?? :lolguy: Element, MR2, BRZ. The girl-car trend couldn't be broken. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldsoda Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 dont put a front plate on! Agreed. I think red might be the best color I've seen on this car. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
