Everyone in here is gonna bash on the FRS/BRZ because it is way underpowered compared to other cars in this price range. I test drove a BRZ recently and it does feel no faster than the 4 cylinder camry I currently drive, but man the driving feel is unmatched. It feels really nimble and you sit really low in the car, so it feels a like a real sports car. Also I think its the best looking car under 40K. If you mainly drive on straight roads, then I think this car can get boring quick, but if you drive through canyons and twisty roads, this is the car to get.
Brz owner
If it is going to be your daily and are not used to driving a "drivers car" I would at least try to spend a good amount of time in one before i bought it.
Im sure your GS rides very smooth and soaks up bumps really well but you wont get that with the 86. While you are not worried about power leaving the torque of the GS might be a killer for you.
They get a bad rap for a couple reasons that I wont really go into much here because people really don't care about the car or just like to downplay it because journalist speak so highly of it.
My thoughts on the car
I love it for what I bought it for. I wanted a weekend car that I can slowly build to become my track car. It handles great and it is a blast in the mountains (New York, PA) The biggest complaint people have is the power but you know that going in and there are maybe 10-15 different kits that can change that now (if you are interested i can go further into this).
RC350 to a BRZ? Stop it.
if you're wanting a sporty little RWD car, get yourself a 350z, 370z, G35, G37, S2000, etc. Not the Scionbaru
better car, and possibly less money depending what you get
Simple... never put the top up...

Info on these kits
Turbo
The "cost effective" way
Speed by design
Same company that manufactured the Greddy kit got a North american distributor, slapped a better turbo , Blow off valve and renamed it. It costs about 3k and comes with a off the shelf tune that can be etuned for a couple hundred more. If your looking for just a little more power its the way to go but you wont be set up for high hp.
The "best " kit
Full Blown
Most people consider them the best turbo kit and i haven't seen much to dispute it. They start at about 4100 for the base kit but you can easily spend over 8k if you upgrade to the good stuff. Easily can see 400hp and people are running way into the 500s but you will spend a lot of money on other upgrades.
Other notable kits
Ptuning
Avo
JDL
Greddy is a rip off your better off with SBD
Superchargers
This segment is full of options so u really would have to do your research
Kraftwerks
(Makes more power but people have been having issues with the belts)
Jackson Racing
(proven to be reliable on the track)
Both use a Rotrex blower with e85 you can see over 300 and i think a couple have hit 400 with the bigger blower
Edelbrock just announced their kit and thats my favorite out every kit.
If you get it installed by a ASE mechanic they match subarus powertrain warranty
They are CARB certified and make 250 on a completely otherwise stock car (exhaust and better full you are over 300 easily)
Other kits
Sprintex
Vortech
Cosworth

I never understood the Miatas stereotype as a girls car. I see more old guys driving them than anyone else. I've only known one girl who ever owned one and hers was a handmedown from her father.
It really is the quintessential "drivers car" and all of it's driving characteristics are the antithesis of what most females look for in a car.
it is. I see tons of girls in S2000s.

What if I can get the labor for free or almost free , what am I looking at for something with good sound ( I want my ish to crank but I still wanna hear my music, not distortion or my car rattling) and durable
Do it.
