Smile Got a new FUN car - 2015 Subaru BRZ Series.Blue

Hi Everyone - Just wanted to share my new BRZ that i got recently.

Always liked the FRS/BRZ since driving it when they first came out.
When Series.Blue was introduced - I just fell in love with the interior and I had to pick one up before its too late.

So far so good - btw this car gets a TON of attention, too much for my liking sometimes....

Interior Thoughts
Pretty much its perfect - only option I wish this car had was rearview camera, will be a mod for future. Also will prob get center armrest to cover the cupholder area.
Two tone Blue Steering wheel and Seats are amazing - love the blue stitching on the doors and knee pads.
Material Quality is pretty good imo for this price. Hopefully it will not wear out fast.
My only complaint is the Horn - it sounds very feminine, not sure if they got it from a Toyota Yaris or something

Exterior Thoughts
Car looks great and the WRB color is Awesome
Complaints - 1) Stock ride height is too high
2) Wheel offsets are too conservative

Made a video of the car shortly after I got it.

For anyone interested please check it out.
Forgot to film the frame-less mirror which is also unique for Series.Blue.


A few pics:

Congrats man! A client of mine just bought a white one with STI pack. The car looks even better in person with the aero package. I took it for a spin and didn't wanna get out of it! XD

No, the color is World Rally Blue. It's a standard STI color, though not typically available on non-STI Subarus.

So the equivalent to the BRZ Series Blue would be the FRS Monogram Edition?

Release Series 1.0. Except Scion has Yuzu Yellow and TRD parts, Subaru has WR Blue/SW pearl and STI parts.

Nice purchase!
It is indeed a lovely car. I was going to purchase one in white but decided against it after renting one for a few days.
I could only imagine the heads it turn while you drive it. I drove past one the other day and literally stopped and parked. Got out of the car and went for a closer inspection.

Loved my BRZ Limited, unfortunately never drove it and couldn't justify keeping it around. Still one of the best pure driving experiences on the market!
