You might also be able to get the version with the 1.5L engine, which is what the car was originally designed around (the 2.0 is heavier).
as a Golf R owner, have to agree with this, 100%. I found the BRZ a blast to drive. I may still end up with one, but dog transport is a challenge... The R is, in many respects, not as fun to drive until you're at felony speeding levels.
