What's the news?
Has Santa come early for new Subaru BRZ buyers? It certainly appears so. Subaru is extending an offer of a free set of new alloy wheels and winter tyres with each new BRZ that is purchased. The offer is open now until the end of February 2014 and is worth £1,095. The winter tyre pack includes a set of four 215/45 Toyo winter tyres with a choice of bright silver or anthracite grey 17-inch alloy wheels.
It seems storing and changing the tyres won't be a problem either. Qualifying customers can have their tyres and wheels stored at the dealer free of charge. Handy, if you don't own a garage. The re-fitting will be undertaken by the dealer when the weather improves. The Toyo tyres included within the deal are a special tread pattern ensuring safer and more predictable handling for BRZ owners.
"The BRZ has won plaudits from across the industry as a great driver's car. The offer of a free set of winter tyres will mean new owners can fully appreciate the BRZ's blend of light weight, usable power and rear-wheel drive handling, even when the weather takes a turn for the worse", explained Darren James, Subaru UK Director for Aftersales.
Anything else?
Naturally, you'll need to order a new Subaru BRZ before the end of February 2014 to avail of the offer. But, we say that any initiative supporting safety is commendable. This is especially true in light of the harsh winters experienced by British drivers over recent years.
