    If daily driving means carting around three other people, and the two who sit in the back are not midgets... no.

    If it's just you and one other passenger... why not? Small engine, good ride and halfway-decent cargo capacity.

    JackFlash: Go for the Genesis Coupe. You do not have to wait for half a year to get the car sa presyong abot kaya.

    April_Ryan: Yes, so long as you and your passengers can easily get in and out of the car. The design is 2+2 in a two door coupe. This can pose as a problem for some people. This being the Philippines locals expect all cars to fit a small basketball team onto four wheels. Not being catty but the feedback I get when I talk about cars like the BRZ is like I was talking about buying original/licensed PS3/Xbox/Wii games.

    Keep in mind this has the ground clearance of the Impreza sedan as such should never be driven into floods.

    You have been informed! Hmmmm kay?

    eLoW...

    Actually, right now I'm considering the Gen Coupe because it's bigger. I just hope that they bring in the diesel variant or possible a V6 T if they will be produced.

    i own a brz and driven the genesis coupe numerous times, even the 300+ hp V6 not sure if that ever came out in the philippine market though. anyway for daily driving i really wouldn't recommend the brz even if the brz has a pretty good fuel consumption even on traffic. the brz is just too damn small and the ride is pretty stiff to be driven daily. i would've gone with the gc v6 w/ brembo if i didn't have any plans of going to the track. while the gc is more powerful than the brz/86 it doesn't handle as well and not as driver oriented as the brz/86, plus the fact that it isn't making enough power for the HP it has. even though it's faster than the brz/86 it still feels slow, reminds me of a turbo'd civic, you know that the car has HP but you don't feel that much power going to the wheels. anyway both cars are great naman, which ever you pick you would not regret it. for me if you go to the track or twisty roads then the brz/86 would be the right choice but for daily driving then gc ka na lang.

    oh and there's no wait time for the brz and they won't force you to buy all the BS toyota is doing. i got my brz the same day i inquired at MI. may wait time lang sa red mga 1-3 months since they usually don't stock red, sa blue about 2weeks to 1 month since yon ang pinaka ma bentang color nila.
