For real? That's Fkn lame who carries screw drivers!?

I'm sure they'd have one you could borrow. But I carry a screwdriver in my handbag all the time, you don't know the amount of times you end up needing one! It's not so great when your bag is being scanned at the airport before your flight and you forget it's in there though lol

ceramic screwdriver. =x

haha I did that once at Sydney airport with a small set of scissors (the male grooming type) in my toiletry bag and this guy calls me aside my mates are laughing a few meters away.

"What's this for?"

"My pube scissors" *maintain straight face*

hands them back.

ceramic screwdriver. =x

still xrays

still xrays

oh yeh. keep them in pocket. LOL

[llama_au]

so just keep calling toyota dealerships till you get one?

There's limited numbers around to test drive and they're being really protective of them. All metro Toyota dealers pretty much have one that I spoke to but it might not be the model or transmission you want, or they don't want you to drive it. The BRZ there's even less around but Subaru Docklands were happy for people to test drive it. And that's more surprising given the way you have to order them and they might not see anything from the sale (if you nominate to get it delivered to another dealer.)

[xALmoN]

then subaru have better service and toyota are just being stuck up

[llama_au]

Oh absolutely, they were far nicer. Really pleasant experience at Subaru Docklands, that's why I nominated them as the dealer I'd pick up from even though there's 4 closer to me. I want them to get the comission. I just appreciated their no bullshit attitude and allowing me to test drive it by myself, given how rare the car is and if I wrecked it they'd have nothing for people to test drive and they couldn't even get another one in for a year!

Blue looks sweet in the brz

[xALmoN]

it does look pretty nice..

do want. just cannot afford. lol.

All this hype and exclusivity for a slow (from all reports) $30k car....marketing at it's finest.

[UNR33L]

depends what you want I guess, would be okay if you plan on hitting up the hills often given it's meant to feel really good in the corners

most new cars are expensive these days

[xALmoN]

30k is expensive?

The 'hype' came from car journos who fell in love with the car and the word spread like wildfire. Not much advertising has been done, the car sells itself. It's not like the you can just waltz into a dealer and buy one (well, maybe a base model GT if you're in the right place at the right time - the demand isn't as high.) No denying it's not fast but straight line speed isn't everything. I've had cars with straight line speed, nothing I've had feels as fun as this car. Go and drive one before you pass judgement.

For 30k new I'd say nothing competes with it if anything hats off to Toyota and Subaru for filling a niche perfectly

[Mohsen]

haha

actually are Stu's bags engineered?

Don't think so.
