    Peak power isn't my only issue with this car, it's the torque dip from 3,250-4,500 right in the meat of the power band. Having driven most iterations of the Miata (NA, NB & ND) and Mustang (most everything from the 60's to current, save the new GT350), either are better options. I currently drive a (mildly modified) 2006 WRX wagon that destroys a BRZ in every aspect of driving except for driftability in the dry, in the rain and snow my WRX out drifts a BRZ. All of that stated, I know people that have and love BRZs/86s, it's just not the right option for me.

    John Anderson Not arguing with your reliability point as I’m not familiar enough; however my own friends who are also mechanics don’t seem to have a problem over any other cars they’ve owned. For your other points though, to be fair I don’t think anyone is getting this car for quarter mile times.. American cars have come a long way but there aren’t many that handle like a BRZ in its class. And that’s why you get these cars. They’re very fast in the corners.

  • @microsickful

    4 жыл бұрын

    John Anderson if accelerating in a straight line is all you care about then by all means stay as FAR AWAY as possible from the likes of BRZ/86 and Miata since these cars aren’t built for straight line speed. I traded in my V8 charger for a manual 86 because I wanted to learn how to drive fast on the racetrack and the 86 is the perfect tool for the job. Teaches you so much about car control and gives you so much feedback, but then again you only car about straight line speed and drag racing and all that stuff that hardly require any skills.

  • @microsickful

    @microsickful

    4 жыл бұрын

    John Anderson yes I agree that the BRZ does not seem like it has the best value for the price and interior quality is somewhat cheap. But I feel like that’s the point of this car, a minimalistic lightweight sports car that resembles the classic JDM cars in the late 80s/early 90s. The Kia Stinger is a VERY good car and honestly I was tempted to get one of those used if not for it doesn’t come with a manual option. The thing is if you want more “interior quality” and such it would most likely come in the form of more weight, and the Stjnger is A LOT heavier than the BRZ despite it being not that much bigger. I never said that the BRZ is fast, because it’s not, not even on the racetrack, well it is through corners if you do it right but you know... it’s more like it teaches you how to drive fast and trains you really well for the fundamentals of racing techniques. Make no mistake I WILL upgrade to something else when I have the money, but for now, my 86 is perfect for what I need. And yes I do go to the track for HPDE events more than 5 times a year. I try to go once every month or so. Will be going again in late October for one last time this year before winter comes.

Drive the powerful truck never even saw me again ......fiesta st 20ishk brz 25ishk truck 50k better in a straight line but still not that far ahead few car lengths around turns so many car lengths ahead the truck is a memory. As crazy as it sounds pro race car driver took stock fiesta st vs hellcat and fiesta had best overall track time by granted only a .16 and better consistent time of a tenthish more.

I used to work for a GM dealer and my BRZ interior and my old impreza interior was a nice place to be compared to the cheap plastic and rubber that American cars have.

It’s a Tuner car FFS! Meaning it’s a blank canvas for anyone to mod the crap out of it. If you want more power, you have 370’z. The original 86 from the 80’s stood for the same purpose - Affordable fun sports car.

    Cham JDM “more power” =/= “unaffordable” Using the 2.4l would have cost nothing incrementally and using the WRX power plant could have been done reasonably as well. Everything that is good about this car would be better with 50-80 more hp and lb-ft. And 370’s are a terrible comparison of old, heavy, wallowing, 2-seat garbage.

    Another benefit of satellite radio, is you can drive a LONG distance without ever losing signal. There are many places where the only option is a country station and a half-dozen religious stations. With Satellite radio, your stations never change and never drop out. Spotify is good if you have a playlist downloaded and want to specifically listen to that, but otherwise there are still plenty of areas in the US where cell signal strength/speed drops off HARD outside of a good sized town. My only issue with satellite radio is that my signal gets blocked by large buildings to the South of my car when driving through cities with even moderately tall buildings (i.e. ~4 stories or taller), or when really close to a building, such as when in the drive thru at Starbucks.

    YES!!!! Awesome vid - fun is the word to describe the BRZ. Every mile driving it is fun - every one! We got the Series.Gray in the US which is the same EXCEPT we didn't get the cool STI lip or side spoilers! Not sure that I love them but that's the one difference. 250 Series.Gray in the US compared to the 100 in Canada. RAIU and Series.Gray get that frameless cutout RV mirror as you noticed (save weight!) but also extra alcantara on the doors and above the steering wheel in addition to the Cool Khaki Gray and black exterior bits (wheels, mirrors, badges, radio fin). And all RAIU/Gray have the performance package so you get the red brembos behind the black wheels next to that gray/blue paint which looks siiiiiiiiiick... You got the traction correct - click once on the left for snow, hold the right for drift, hold the left for donuts. HAVE FUN!!!!!

Altho my BRZ is not a turbo or the same motor as that classic STI, I so love the rumble and the rugged driving feel.

Dodge doesn't sell to the same market and especially not Jeep either. Subaru doesn't sell a single truck, or any dedicated offroad vehicles. America is the second largest car market behind China. And Americans have this false notion that American made equals good and foreign is bad. And that American made engines especially V8 equals great. The Hellcat motor is some of the most low technology, low quality, crudeness that has ever been made. Somehow it only makes 707 hp on 6.2L that's BOOSTED. That's barely over 100hp/l with BOOST. It has pushrods and only 2 valves per cylinder. Overhead cams caught up to pushrods in reliability 30 years ago. Also subaru is a much smaller company with a smaller marketing arm to start with and less dealerships. So they will always sell less.
