I am thinking about swapping my car out for either the GT86 or BRZ (decision to be made sometime).
I currently have a grey Edition 30 which still ticks all the boxes and really is a nice car, but, I have an itch for either of the above. I know they will not be as quick or as fast but I think they look stunning and having driven 1 of each I know they drive exceptionally well. Whenever I get my thinking hat on there is always a niggle at the back of my mind saying I will regret it and not to do it, but is that just the worrier in me.

Plenty of upgrades to make them loads faster and I also really like em under powered yeah but heaps of fun :driver: you only live once so do it

If you're not 100% on getting rid, then now is not the time :)

Nooooo don't do it :signLOL:

Not really. I was looking at these today (only interesting car on the forecourt) as my folks were looking at an Avensis.
In my opinion - a great looking, and decent specced car, but I wouldn't change my ED30 for one. I do like the fact these are RWD & have a boxer engine, so will be a great drive. Pearlescent white looked lovely...
They're £21-£26k for one at the mo, and I guess - being so new they're at the top of their depreciation curve. If you won't worry about the money - go for it, and have fun!
ED30 prices seem to be sliding abit, so if yours isn't super low mileage, you could always buy another for less in future if turns out the GT86 isn't for you...?

The spec of your ED30 ?

As they are the boxer engine they would be fine for an impreza engine swap for turbo power. :evilgrin:

Lichfield Imports do a Supercharger kit for them :happy2:
