For autocross it was fairly fun, though not competitive since it runs in STU with the Evos/STi's. For DD, I like it other than the lousy fuel economy (typical tank is about 24mpg mixed driving, and has to run premium). If we didn't have snow in the winter, I probably could do without AWD. I'm actually thinking about a BRZ in a few years for a DD since it gets much better mileage, still fun to drive, and I have no need for a backseat/back doors, to be honest. The kids ride in the SUV, not my car.
Otherwise, it's not too bad on tires, doesn't burn oil after 100k miles, still just as quick as when it was new. Note that I do have Bilstein/Racecomp Yellow Cup suspension, plus sways and all the bushings done. So the suspension is nowhere near stock. Engine is stock except for a Cobb stage 1 flash and SPT catback.
As for buying used....all I can say is maybe stay away from modded ones, but that's always the rule with all cars I guess. I like it overall, and even after 5+ years I'm not tired of it, I still enjoy driving it.
Feel free to PM me for more questions if you want.
