So where are all the GT86's/BRZ's??
Discussion
I've seen two thus far. both GT86s and both finished in metallic black (Whick looked great IMO!) its a smashing little car i must say, the shape and stance of it is spot on!
Can't wait to see one up close now
Some nice snaps on here BTW, particularly liking the one with XH558s nose poking over the hedge!

. . . auto is cheaper to tax and better mpg apparently . . .
Will be interesting to see from owners reports which actually has better real-world mpg, seems like autos are often tailored to the official lab tests at the expense of the real world.i have an auto version.. wasnt [totally] sure it was the right decision but loving it now.
cruise on, over c10-20 mile sections of private road (overall fairly flat - some small inclines, likewise descents) is getting over 40mpg every time .. 43.2mpg in the image below (cruise control on for the distance).
- 2500rpm @ 80mph is decent!
On average though, im low 30s i think [on Super UL], but i dont do much motorway in general, lots of A & B road blasts, also i'm very much enjoying selecting the sport buttons with the manual mode in the AT [its fully manual, will let you bounce the redline if you miss your change, and allows you to drop a number of gears quickly provided you'd be doing <7100rpm (7200?) in the selected gear].
Ive dropped a couple cogs quickly on the mway, (coming out of a clear roadworks section) and the automatic blip/rev match is superb, dropped to 2nd at 50mph from 4th and the change was fantastic, so smooth and quick, i held it at ~6k rpm for a couple secs then gunned it past the 'go for it' signs.. fantastic. Even with the auto box on this car, it really doesnt feel "slow" at all once you get the rpms up ..
