    The rear seats are NOT there for insurance purposes. Toyota chief designer Tetsuya Tada has literally said he gave the 86/BRZ rear seats simply so they can fold down and owners can carry an 4 extra tires to the track. That’s it…he said he didn’t want to create a pure two-seater like the Miata and S2000 because those require a trailer, or a friends van to carry extra tires and he said that’s a pain in the ass. So he made millimeter adjustments to the car specifically so an extra set of tires fit with the rear seats folded down. That is the only answer why it has rear seats.

    To go further, insurance companies haven't been fooled by the 2+2 trick since the 1980s, if not earlier. Risk assessments today are based on crash statistics, demographic info, and other data points that are much more related to the potential insurance payout than an extra pair of seats that never get used. The fact that everyone still spreads this little bit of misinformation really highlights how little understood insurance is.

    Yes. When I bought my first MX-5 eight years ago, my insurance premium was actually less than what I was paying a month before for my Mazda3! I just got a '22 BRZ yesterday because I need to haul around my grandkids sometimes, but I still wanted a sports car. We'll see what happens with the insurance, but I don't expect any surprises.

    Former RF owner now in a 2022 BRZ here. I loved the Mazda and I love this. Pick either and you can’t go wrong…but if you are over 182cm (6ft) you are actually going to fit in the BRZ. Actually had the BRZ (still completely stock) on track today and I spent 15 mins chasing two GR Yaris…and you know what? They were a tiny bit quicker on the straights but not very much. I was expecting them to run away and they didn’t.

That would really piss me off as this same issue happened on my 1996 Corvette where the silicone dried up and started leaking.

    I just got a '22 BRZ for $32,998. There were 3 new ones left in the country, local dealer was only willing to ship one of them here, and then it was bought the next morning by someone before they could send it here. At least a 5 month wait for a '24 but I needed a car now. I bit the bullet and paid more than MSRP for a 2 year old car, but only 5700 miles, mint condition, and I couldn't be happier.
