6 out of 27 topics on the first page agree. Buy a subaru BRZ.

Kinda, I took some but I'm not very impressed with how I did. I'll post some better pics once I have some good ones
This is the only one I'm satisfied with:

Nice, can we get a long or atleast a short review? What is the maintenance like?

Thanks guys. I'll edit my first post with a good detailed review. The weather here has been bad and today was the first clear day. I haven't even done a proper Italian tuneup yet.
You should start a new thread
I just ran into a small issue with my F355 and want to get it sorted out before posting a formal review.

I used to have a '97 355 Berlinetta--great car. It has a lot more of the nostalgia factor when compared to the newer stuff and sounds great with Tubi headers and exhaust. Is your car an F1 or 6 speed? Have your valve guides or headers been done yet? It looks great! Congrats!

Anyways, I am looking for a third car to fulfill my automotive desires. It needs to be awd or rwd, manual, have an affordable aftermarket, easy to mod/work on, and decently reliable (no dsm plz). Must be able to survive lots of abuse (maybe autocross or a track day if I'm up to it).
...
Other than that I'm open to suggestions. I'm not sure what my budget is yet, let's swing for no more than $20k for starters. Easy to work on is key; I have worked on cramped engine bays with a v6 stuffed in there and it was not fun at all.

I simply don't find the F355 to fit in any of the things you've mentioned. I suppose you might be able to find one for under $20k, but it might be pretty banged up. Or perhaps you simply threw all the criteria you originally started with out the window and made an emotional decision?
