Way better ride on the BRZ.

BRZ visually looks way sportier.

BRZ has better dash layout.

Speaker system is noticeably better.

Shifting is smoother.

I find that I can hit 60mph far faster in the BRZ than in the Toyota.

Camera system is far superior in the BRZ

Air conditioning blows better in the BRZ

Already I’m seeing increased fuel efficiency over the Toyota.

BRZ has better cruise control system

Honestly the utility from the 86 Toyota is huge but the BRZ is just a better daily driver.

Right now my take home pay after all expenses is 2700. The new car would make that new take home 2200. It would also eat 15% of my current savings as money down.

I’m pretty frugal and the monthly take home drop from 3k on a good month to 2.5k at best is a punch to the gut. Also the savings hit makes me cringe.

I do have a vehicle right now. It is an old truck that can get me to work/ school/ grocery, however, it has no AC, and I don’t trust driving it more than 60 miles at a time.

The pros of a new car would be quality of life daily and the ability to visit friends who live across the state from me. Also having a set of wheels that doesn’t look crappy is a good impression for dating. My buddy told me that women like air conditioning.

Part of me wants to stay my current course and save/ have the disposable income. The other part of me knows I’m young and should enjoy what I can.

What do you think, is it worth it?
