I've always loved this car since it was teased by Toyota 11 years ago and I've had it in the back of my head when the right time to buy one would be.
I started poking around last year when I got the itch to do track days again, and my original plan was to get a cheap, salvage, body damage or otherwise beat to crap FR-S (Actually my FIRST plan was Exocet), then RallyCross it and do track days.
That slippery slope turned into a 2017 BRZ Limited with Performance Package when I found a great deal on this car. 2017 brought some really nice improvements and tweaks, and the PP is an incredible deal for what you are getting (though as mentioned, the brakes are causing some headaches)
It was meant to be a drive-it-to-the-track track car, but in a way its too nice to just track. I love driving it around town and my kids love riding in it, so I may (or may not) delay the rollbar and race seats for a little while.
For now it will get basic track prep and stay mostly stock. So far the mods have been focused on getting some negative camber so as not to chew up tires. Ill do a few track days and re-evaluate what it needs to be a good track car.
As it sits it just needs an alignment to be track ready and I should have it on track in August.
I love the red on these cars, which you are correct is pretty rare for the BRZ (lots of red FR-S though). While I love World Rally Blue, I think it looks a lot better on an Impreza than a BRZ.
