I just traded in my 2014 BRZ for a 6th Gen. Handling is fantastic on the BRZ and has significantly more road feel than a 6th Gen, but after two and a half years of ownership I couldn't deal with its downsides. TONS of road noise, terrible gas mileage for a car that weighs 2700 lbs, and no torque whatsoever. I would have to drop 2 gears just to pass people on the freeway as all the car's power is above 5000 RPM.

The handling is great, don't get me wrong, but unless you are carving canyons every day, its similar to driving any other 4 cyl econo-car
