Hi folks, I'm looking at the GT86/BRZ as a bit of fun to replace a very hum-drum Volvo S60.
I've realised that I don't tend to drive with more than one passenger very often and would prefer something more "fun" so a coupe seems a good choice and having test driven a BRZ its tremendous to drive.

However I'm probably looking at something used, I'm considering a 66 plate ex-demonstrator GT86 from a Toyota dealer, immaculate car 1200 miles on the clock and its a Pro so comes with all the kit (Sat Nav) but while its a lot cheaper than new its still not exactly cheap but do need to factor in the remainder of the warranty, etc.

I was wondering though given the reputation for reliability how safe am I going back a few years? I'm seeing a lot of 2014/2015 cars with c 20-25000 on the clock at good prices and wondering what can really go wrong? I've always had a though in my head that this type of car I'd prefer to buy new as then I know it hasn't been "screwed" but am I over-worrying?
