There's limited numbers around to test drive and they're being really protective of them. All metro Toyota dealers pretty much have one that I spoke to but it might not be the model or transmission you want, or they don't want you to drive it. The BRZ there's even less around but Subaru Docklands were happy for people to test drive it. And that's more surprising given the way you have to order them and they might not see anything from the sale (if you nominate to get it delivered to another dealer.)

hehe went on the subaru website and made up my dream order. Came out $40k driveaway. With spoiler, floor mats and the diffuser. Find it weird how there is no haggling, just accept the price down to the 12cents. Also says 13+ months waiting on all variants lol

There's no room to haggle on these cars at the moment anyway, demand outweighs supply by a huge amount so no dealer is going to give you a price reduction. What it stops is dealers marking up over RRP by upping dealer delivery charges, etc. which is what some Toyota dealers have been doing. You only need to look at the phantom cars on Carsales to realise - these cars don't exist, they're getting people to call up and they say "oh sorry, we don't have any GTS. Oh but look, we have a GT, here you can have it for xxx (over retail price) right now." So at least you don't have to deal with any of that bullshit. When I ordered on Saturday it said 12+ months so it's gone up a month on the website. The Subaru dealership itself was quoting a shorter lead time (approx. 9 months) but we'll see. I've put a clause in my contract that I can pull out if the wait extends past 12 months. Just waiting for confirmation of my contract acceptance, hopefully tomorrow!

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
