ftfy.

Congrats on the purchase! Am I the only who's disappointed with mpg (for MT) figures though? the V6 mustang manages 29mpg with all its power and heft.

My only complaint is that the engine has EL headers so no rumble But oh well, it's all about the twisties anyway.
Yes! I love that design as well, it's like an oil relocation kit from the factory.

Agreed, I hope that's not the case later down the road. I can see the automatic versions being bought by a lot of single "business woman" types. I see many female Genesis Coupe owners. But I think it will get a lot of enthusiast drivers to buy in.

They can have the automatic inventory! I'm surprised Subaru made an auto trans an option in this car since they are transmission ****'s. I can't stand how you can't get the newer Fozzy XT's in manual, and it's funny that they don't have an auto trans option for the new WRX's and LGT's(this I don't mind though

Yeah the MPG leave something to be desired.. But I'll be happy if I can get 26-28mpg out of it. I'm actually quiet interested in getting it tuned for E85 to see what kind of hp gains it would get. And if it has a ECU program like the impreza I don't see why it couldn't get tuned by a local shop.

Since you'll have one of the first BRZ's and your in the modding scene it would be good promotion for any shop looking to tune these in the future to give you a free tune, "R&D" tune FTW
