I think I have yet to hear a truely negative review of the BRZ. You alaways get thee, "it needs more power" but I don't think anyone has complained about the handeling which is what counts the most in my book. There were a few disappointing things that I read in there though:

The very nice protruding two exhaust tips on my test car are only available on BRZs sold outside of North America. Our exhausts will be somewhat tucked away under the rear crash bumper as per safety regulations. Other differences versus the Euro-spec car tested here include the addition of a spare tire, standard sat-nav system and no optional aero underbody panel for us as in the rest of the world. In addition, the outer reflector on the taillights will be red and the inner reflector in the headlamps will be amber. Finally, an inconvenient truth: Split rear seatbacks are not available.
I guess we are going to be getting JDM parts again.

And this is the first time that I heard more than a rumor that there is going to be a more powerful version. :smt030

I love that you can get a stripped down version with steelies and unpainted bumpers.
