  1. Yes. I test drove it. The Sport setting did tighten up the ride a lot. But I didn't find Sports+ make a lot of difference. I did a few 0-40 under traffic lights, I didn't find it very quick. But it met my expectations. I just wanted a unique car in good condition. What killed the deal is that the dealer really didn't want to reduce the price by one dollar which made me very suspicious. The next day car was sold. Damn, I really don't know how things work now. I used to be able to bargain a truck load off the asking price. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
  2. Stock Subaru BRZ has various sizes. 17x7 17x7.5 and 18 inch wheels. Also have offset 48. Seems good for you. The best looking is the 17x7.5 performance package wheels which typically goes for $440-500 a set. No tires. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
  3. Man, I just realized that this forum is called LGT, not just legacy. No wonder everyone is talking about GT. What is the most appropriate forum for 3.0r owners? Nasoic? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
  4. Nice. My BRZ is a stick shift. Don't need another one. Also the 45:55 torque distribution is great. I guess this is the dream of an Audi? Is the 45:55 all the time, or it is the max which happens at certain RPM and engine load? Also I read these cars have Bilstein suspension, which is great. However, how long do these Bilstein last? Should I be ready to pony up $2k to replace those dampers? Finally, do you know the weight distribution? I always thought there's a connection between weight and torque distribution for AWD cars. But I don't know for sure. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
  5. Reading the posts in the forum, everyone , almost, is talking about LGT. Is LGT that much desirable than a 3.0R? Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
  6. Thanks. I didn't realize that the valuation for these cars is so robust. I was hoping to negotiate about $1k off. Maybe not. From my limited awd knowledge I think these 3.0r should have a more than decent all wheel drive. But I am kinda surprised that the HP is only 180+. So the engine is designed to spin slower but generate decent torque at the lower end? How is the shifting quality of the automatic transmission? I think I am going to test drive it tomorrow and getting a bit serious. Thanks for the input. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
  7. Hi Guys, Owner of a Subaru BRZ here. But I am not sure about other Subaru cars. Today I came across a nice clean copy of a 2008 3.0R. It has about 65k miles and dealer is asking about $8k. I looked at the carfax report. There wasn't an accident, but damage was reported once back in 2011. The damage spot is driver side quarter post. It seems to have been repaired. Cannot see what is obviously wrong here. So my question is how is the long term reliability of these cars after 11 years? Does the engine tend to blow gasket or not and whether the transmission is durable in the long run. Finally of course, whether the price is too high? It is sold at a Honda dealer. So I am not sure how much I can bargain down the price. Thanks for any suggestions!
