In addition to the optional Performance Package, there was also the ultra-limited, handling-focused BRZ tS, which featured stiffer springs, larger wheels, additional chassis stiffening and more aggressive aero with a large carbon fiber rear wing. Unfortunately, the engine was the same as the standard car. When it comes to this, the best advice we can give is "go for the stick.
While there are plenty of performance cars these days that come with fantastic automatics that are well-suited to their mission, in a small sports car that puts driver connectivity and fun over outright performance, a stick is the right choice. Not only that, but the power bump that came with the refreshed versions in didn't apply to automatic-equipped cars. One thing to consider with any late model used car is to make sure you compare the pricing of a pre-owned car versus a brand new.
While there are people who will advise against buying any car that's been modified, it's best to take things on a case by case basis. If you find a car that's been appreciated and tastefully upgraded by a caring enthusiast a purchase can make a lot sense, but always do your homework. As with any used performance vehicle or sports car, you'll want to keep an eye out for crappy mods and signs of abuse.
Even when new, the FR-S, 86 and BRZ offered some of the most fun you can have in a car for the money, and now that the cars have started to age, they can make great used cars as well. Whether you are looking to leave it stock and enjoy it, lightly modify it or build something serious, there is no denying the potential of this modern, lightweight, rear-wheel drive platform.
