    It's not that bad. The one where they're asking $21900 with 5000-6000 km is an automatic which has very low demand. Also remember that new before freight and taxes they're only like $26000-$27000 and that's where the depreciation starts from. So really to be down around $20K for an FR-S/BRZ with relatively low mileage, 30K km or so, is pretty much expected. Don't buy new, right?

    I bought my 14' Monogram for $31k and change. I had originally intended to just use it as a summer car for a couple years and then look at selling it. Keeping the car immaculate and etc.

    But I like the car as a daily so I will probably keep it much longer. Its worth a little more because its a limited run, but its not substantial. You can just go buy a BRZ Limited for the same/similar options.

    Its fun. Get a good set of winter tires and you should be okay. Really predictable in the snow.

    Exactly this. Fun and predictable. Just make sure you get a really good set of winters or else it can be difficult to get started from a stop.

    Yup. I winter drove my car for a season. With a good set of tires on it drives fine with the opportunity to hoon it when the time and place is right.

    I put a set of winters on with longer studs. Makes me feel like a world rally champion. Car just absolutely slays winter. Weight in the trunk helps a lot as well.

    I was going to park the car and drive the truck this winter, but then I drove the car and decided to park the truck.

    I'm 5'10 and it's like a glove. Only time I complain is lack of helmet space.

    I am 6'2" and my head almost brushes the roof normally and with a helmet I have to recline my seat AND slump as well.

    That's why I haven't even considered test driving one. I like the looks of the car and think it would be fun buuuuut I know I won't fit inside to my liking haha.

    I'm 6'3 and had the seat all the way back and my head kept hitting the roof. I don't even know why they put a back seat in this car hahahaha. Car feels super responsive though if only I fit lol

    Because not all of us are Ogres.

    6+ footers -> Mustang/GC IMO.
    That's not sweat. It's your fat, crying.
