2005 tC died...Hello 2013 BRZ
After 237,434 miles my supercharged 2005 scion tc has finally given up. It has an issue with the 4th cylinder....The car has been good to me and i will miss it....But i welcome my new 2013 BRZ 
I was hoping to get my hands on an FR-S but i could not find a single one here in Maryland. I got lucky and found a BRZ that someone ordered and never picked up

The supercharger is still good, but i do not want to part the car out at this time. SInce i am new at my job i don't have time to take parts off the car at the moment. But if that changes I will let you know

I love it so far. After seeing all the reviews for it and still didnt believe the car was as good as all the reviews says it is. But it actually is. I fell in love with it on the test drive. The car is not the fastest in the world but thats not what i designed to be. This car takes turns really fast. Since I am really tall my choice in cars is very limited. Im 6'6" and i fit in there just fine, even though i feel as if i am close to the maximum height a person can be to drive it.

Cool glad to see a tall person can fit in the BRS/FRS comfortably. I have the FRS and got a chance to test drive the BRZ due to my GF wanted to get one. I have to say the interior is like night and day. I like the inside of the BRZ way better then my FRS. Any who glad to see you like it.

What's the #4 cyl doing? If it's losing compression, I say pull the engine and swap out the rings and get her running again. Then sell her and use the money for parts for the BRZ.

I wish i was a mechanic and i would do that. toyota and many of the other shop around town want way too much money to fix it. and on a car that has 237,000 i'm sure the cost of fixing it will out weigh the payoff of selling it. Im trying to go over some options for it now. i may just keep it and eventually fix it back up and just keep it. but at the moment fixing it just isn't an option
