I can't really speak for the is350 f sport as I haven't driven one but the two seem like quite different cars with different purposes. The Lexus would certainly make for a more daily-drivable car but the BRZ is a lot of fun if you put up with it.

AJ Jafari As do I, they're great cars! Thank you!

Completely spot on with the "complaints". Had mines for a year now and still loving it.

For downshifting into 2nd, try double-clutching: 0. Currently driving in 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th (hopefully not too fast!). 1. Put the gear in neutral. 2. Let go of the clutch. 3. Rev! This causes the transmission-side of the clutch to spin. Important: Clutch must be engaged (i.e. clutch pedal in up position). If clutch is disengaged, you'll just be revving the engine-side of the clutch (flywheel), which won't help you with the down shifting. 4. Press the clutch and quickly shift into 2nd. You should probably release the accelerator at this time too, but it's not necessary as engine side speed won't have anything to do with gear engagement at this point since clutch is depressed. So feel free to rev-match using the accelerator. People talk about rev-matching all the time, but most of the time, they're only talking about matching engine speed to wheel speed at corresponding gear position. That does nothing to help with the shifting. It does help with smoothness when you're letting go of the clutch pedal, but that's after you've already shifted. To help with gear shifting, you need to match the wheel-side gear speed with the transmission-side clutch speed. The only way to control that yourself is with gear in neutral and clutch engaged (i.e. clutch pedal in up position). It's really the synchronizer's job to force the transmission-side clutch to speed up or slow down to match the wheel-side gear, but sometimes, it needs a little help.

I've had my gt86 for nearly 2 months now (bought second hand) and I've noticed most of these myself especially the things about the transmition but I wouldn't trade it for the world the most fun you can have on 4 wheels

I have never seen one of your videos but as soon as I saw that intro I subscribed. Best intro i've seen.

the door unlock behaviour is to prevent you being carjacked. with a regular keyless entry, you press unlock once to open driver door, and twice for passenger door. with the keyless go, smart key, it's opening the driver door only on purpose. just use your keybfob, and hit unlock 2x if you have a passenger. second gear issue sounds like synchronized issue, it should not do that. youb could try double clutching to get into gear.

SI0AX I said TRY double clutching.. I also said it should NOT do that, if double clutching works, it could help indicate the trouble... trans fluid change would be an obvious thing to try too. But if you CANT get it into gear while moving.. I doubt its just a fluid issue... difficult to go in.. possibly. I would think when fluid is hot it would work ok regardless... also if it was just fluid.. why only 1st and 2nd gear? if it was a fluid synchro mismatch I would think it would effect all the gears. Or at least they would all be stiff.. not impossible, and perfect.. depending on gear.

I Don't Even Know Why You Respond To These Haters .. Good Car And Good Video Keep It Up ! Btw The Seats Are Dope

I also have a Series.Blue, love it! By the way, the keyless not unlocking both doors is an anti carjacking protection. Lots of carjackings happen with somebody waiting on the other side of your car while you approach it in a parking lot and an automatic unlock of that side would just be too big a risk apparently. Same reason why the passenger door won't unlock from the outside touch panel if the driver's door is already open. The More You Know... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>*

Lmao the horn made me laugh so hard 😂

I started going to the track with my 02 A4 AWD. It has taught me a tan, it's a heavy car and not so much power. What really stuck w/ me and thank god I understand it is the fact of power to weight ratio. This car all I hear is one of the greatest thing to come out in recent years. Getting closer to getting one. Balance and power to weight ratio not everybody understands that's for sure great video, thanks for the info too!

The passenger door unlock thing is probably like what if you go to the gas station to buy gas and a weirdo comes up to you and says hey give me a ride and as you start to walk to your car they try to get in as you unlock your car well if your door is the only one that opens and not the passenger that's a good feature

About the downshifting being difficult, try double clutching to 2nd and see if it's easier. If the car has some syncro issues then it should go in like butter. Lot's of cars have weak syncros that quickly wear away from use, so double clutching not only prolongs their life, but can aid downshifting smoothness. Anyway, I like your videos!

For the limited: Open the driver door with the car off, hold down the lock and panic buttons on the key fob for approx 5 seconds. When you let go the car should beep. Now both doors will unlock when you touch the door handle. Not sure if that works with the premium.

Absolutely. It's a great looking car and it's tons of fun to drive. It has the lines that makes it look beautiful. I've had my 2015 red FR-S 6 speed manual since last Jan. 2015. It currently has 5800 miles. But yeah, I agree it should have more torque because at 151 lbs., it's virtually nonexistent. But no matter, I love it and prefer my car over any other car on the road.

So here you guys go, 8 minor things i dislike about my Subaru BRZ. Oh and i hope you guys like my new intro! (it's temporary until i get something really nice done)

+Exoticars19 I think "200bhp" is enough in a small car, you only have to look at the Fiesta ST, the main difference with that though is it has torque so does pull lower down in the revs so feels fast everytime you stamp on the throttle.

The driver-side-door-unlock-only is actually a default setting. You can either bring it back to the dealer and ask them to change the setting to unlock both doors at once, or go search online forums on how to change it

The keyless entry is to remind you to open your door for your passenger :P Be a gentlemen ;)

Dude, about the keyless entry, you can change it to unlock both doors. If you hold down the lock button and the panic button simultaneously while the car is off and the driver door is open, both doors will now unlock when you touch the inside of the driver side door. Hold the buttons for a few seconds and the car will beep. Then it's set.

Thanks, nicely done review. I'm picking up a 2016 this week. FWIW in all the Subaru's I've owned I've always swapped out the horn first thing. This will be #14 for me...

My Aozora, aka Series Blue, has been an excellent road trip ride. I double clutch to 2nd and it works reasonably well. The Aisin/Toyota engineers wrote that they tuned the transmission for very hot state, which really makes it notchy when cold. I often stay in 2nd around town and enjoy the post 5K rpm fun.

I have an FRS and usually rev the engine instead of that horn haha

Phil Miecznikowski well i did

Got my 2014 BRZ Limited last year and I absolutely love it!!! I totally agree with what you said. The first thing that happened on mine was the snap on the seat belt strap broke off within the first week. After two weeks of ownership, the passenger side DRL started to have condensation problems. Maybe a month in, I started hearing the crickets. The transmission was also very picky (especially in 1st and 2nd) and I had to readapt my shifting. During the winter months (or whenever it gets cold) the clutch makes this weird horn like sound when disengaging at around 4000 RPM. The paint is also extremely thin and my front bumper looks like it got blasted by a shotgun a couple times. It's true that there's always something making noise in the cabin. For the most part, mine comes from the rear deck lid. But all in all, these are just minor inconveniences and don't take away from the experience of driving an FR-S or BRZ.

Dude, I have an Audi A5 Sportback right now 2011.. but this is my dream car. Subaru BRZ or GT86 from 2012-13 will be my next purchase as a summer car only. Been watching your videos and im sold. Love the look of the car with a slight 25mm drop and 45 profile tires just makes this car amazing to look at. Can't wait til I find the perfect example for me to buy. Im from Sweden so ruining that car with salt would not be ideal.

There's a solution to the power 'problem' add more turbo!

You can double-clutch down to first and second no problem.

I’ve watched and heard so many people bad talking the car because of the horse power. I avoided them for this reason till I actually test drove one the other week. I was so wrong. The car is so engaging, super fun to drive on public roads. Picked up a super clean 2017 BRZ, couldn’t be happier

the keyless entry thing, you can fix that by using the console, go to setup, vehicle, customization and you will find what you need there.

9:38 shifter linkage is binding

4th gear at 35shhh? the only way you can get the feel for the torque is if you max each gear, at that speed its 2nd and it does go. And i do have a brz thats how i know if anyone is asking.

Nice review, bro!!

The reason that both doors do not open at once is that it is supposed to act as an anti theft feature, if you are going to get into your car and both doors unlock someone unwanted may be able to slip their way into the car which most people don't really want to deal with. It is just like if you have a car without keyless entry, and you click the button to unlock only clicking it once will unlock the drivers door but not the rest of the doors.

That crickets sound at idle is your High Pressure Fuel Pump in the engine bay, to run the Direct Injection. Everything with Direct Injection has some noise from it.

Just a thought, I drove one briefly and the issue I had with it was the crazy low torque, not the horse power. I drive a 200HP car with similar weight to the BRZ, and the lack of oomph from acceleration was really noticeable. Yeah, the car feels good, it's low and feels sporty. But, so is the 15 year old car I already have. I need more than "yeah but it's new" to spend $30k. More details if ya care: I drive a 99 Integra GSR with a JDM GSR motor and a Type R tranny for the LSD. It also has a comptech cold air intake, DC Sport exhaust manifold, Greddy SP2 cat-back exhaust, also most of the suspension has been upgraded to Type R. I haven't dyno'd the car but a modest estimate would put the HP at about 205 if you don't take into consideration HP loss over time (the JDM engine produces 10 more, each of the bolt ons claim 10-15 HP gain, the USDM engine starts at about 180HP, and the JDM versions starts at about 190HP -- an issue of sport compact car from 10 years ago used the 1999 integra gsr and a dyno and used my model exhaust, my model exhaust manifold, and the AEM cold air intake and got 195 combined (the AEM has a great name but for that engine it was basically a slightly longer short ram, the comptech actually pulls air from the wheel well)). The weight of the car is roughly 2,600lbs give or take some amps and speakers. I got the car in about 2001 and slowly made modifications over the years. Now the car is starting to feel pretty old and I'm in the market for something new. I test drove a bunch of cars and the Scion FRS was one I was eager to look at. After the test drive I set aside any notion of getting an FRS or BRZ entirely. I can't imagine paying about $30k for a car that is slower than my 15 year old car with a couple simple bolt ons. The tail wagging of the FRS was fun, but I can initiate inertial drifts in my integra pretty easily for the fun occasional feeling of the back end sliding out. $30k is a whole, WHOLE lot to spend on a car that is, at best, readily comparable to what I already have. If the FRS/BRZ came with a fully modern tech package that would be something, but it's a pretty barebones tech offering. But, if I'm willing to throw mods onto the integra to make it faster, why not plan to do the same with the FRS/BRZ? The Integra was already very well established and there were tuners everywhere that specialized in them. The FRS/BRZ has only been out a short time and there isn't nearly the same amount of aftermarket support. Also, the dealership I bought the car from installed the bolt ons to the stock car and continued to honor the warranty, I wouldn't get the same thing with a FRS/BRZ, and I didn't change out the engine and tranny until after the warranty expired (I sold my perfectly good engine and tranny to the race shop that specialized in engine swaps, and the exchange, plus the suspension mods ended up being less than $2k). All of this leaves me with a 15 year old car I bought for about 24k and modified for about 4k (ignoring stereo), being compared to a car that sells for about 30k. All that said, the basic lack of feeling of being pushed back into my seat when I accelerate was really difficult to deal with. The car REALLY felt a lot slower. Same basic amount of HP, but a noticeable change in torque. I expected more.

Thanks for sharing. The horn is funny, but I wouldn't change it. So far I like the way the BRZ sounds. I wouldn't upgrade the exhaust for fear of sounding like one of those "tuned" Subarus

Not everyone can evoke the most out of a BRZ , the engineers from Toyota developed it to reward the driver when putting it into curves , twists and out of the apex , it is not a straight line car , like the game of golf , its not the brute swing , its the skill and finesse of the individual.

***** What? Flat fours are all about torque. It's just that the BRZ is tuned for top-end horsepower because it's a sports car.

My Scion TC has keyless entry as well. I was kinda frustrated with it not unlocking the passenger door and people doing EXACTLY what you did. However, I looked at the owners manual and it was VERY simple to reprogram via the key fob.

#4 you can change the setting for unlocking just one door or all the doors. They explain this clearly in the manual. quicker workaround is to just unlock/open the passenger door first -- this method also unlocks both doors.

The door only open one door for safety. You're a lady in a garage and you open door someone can jump in passenger door.

Exactly. I don't mind having to open the door and pressing the unlock button inside the door. Sometimes I like to annoy my passengers by taking a long time to unlock my car :)

no1ymfan1 Can't you press the unlock button twice to also open the passenger's door?

+Jonas Rosenven We're not talking about the unlock button on the key; we're talking about touching the door handle to unlock the car with the keyless entry system.

Yeah, BMWs with many more keyless entry systems have the feature to touch the drivers door handle twice and all doors unlock, if you unlock the car with the passenger door, you unlock all doors.... Why didnt Subaru or Toyota think of this..?

I came here to say this is likely to be the high pressure fuel pump issue

Interesting that you mentioned the Lotus as a recent issue of the British magazine EVO had an article asking whether you should buy a new BRZ/86 or a used Lotus Exige. The Exige has the 1.8 liter Toyota engine, but with a supercharger, so it makes about 10% MORE horsepower than the BRZ 2 liter. Yet, they thought you could not go wrong with either car, but as others have pointed out, the tires you put on the BRZ will make a HUGE difference in how it handles. Going to test drive the Toyota tomorrow or the next day.

Hey! Great video I just wanted to add that my Cruze LTZ was the same way (I realize they are different cars) I actually had an option in my vehicle settings (using touchscreen) to unlock the four doors instead of one when i press the button on the handle. maybe that will help great vid tho

Just swap it with a 2jz or LS.

I think the brz/frs should be priced under 20k, that would be reasonable for the performance, but almost 30k? nahh, thats way too much.

Telexic Especially considering that price includes all 3 american pony cars in a V6 model, a base 370Z and the Genesis coupe. Yes this car is smaller and more nimble then the other 3 but for value, you're loosing.

I test drove the frs before I bought my gen and the interior was disappointing. The seats were very comfortable and it shifted nice but it doesn't even come with a proper center console.. it was an accessory that you had to buy and it just slides back and forth lol. No power at all in the lower rpms which makes city driving brutal.. you're literally getting passed by mini vans. If only it had an extra 30-50 hp...

I can agree with the horn and idling chirp. I just got my FRS a little over a month ago, and I thought there was something wrong till I learned it's just the direct injection system.

In my FRS I don't have any of the down-shift issues. I always downshift all the way down to 1 every time .... maybe thats because I rev match downshift? I could do a video if you want, but rev matching down to 1st is super important for the heavy twisties to really feel the fun as you sit just around the red-line ... very fun.

the note of the horn isnt aggressive enough for you??? typical american

Hey awesome video I agree with those noises and rattle. but I just wanted to throw it out there. I have the frs 2015 with the TRD sway bars and lowered. greddy evolution gt exhaust air intake and computer chip. and you were talking about the down shifting. and 1st and 2nd are not working right. after a year of driving the scion and breaking the car In.. I can down shift all the way to first gear with Rev matching and I race mode I would call it. I noticed brand new that it had a hard time downshifting and you really have to rev match until it's broken in

I've owned my BRZ for about a year and a half, and I agree with all of these except maybe #8. I haven't had trouble going from 3rd to 2nd with a good rev match, even on the track. But my other half can't drive it because the shifter is so notchy it hurts her shoulder, so you're right on there. I have the Premium, and the standard remote locks work fine - push the button once to unlock the driver's door, twice to unlock both.

Early Apex Productions Every now and then, it'll go down to second like a champ, but i just go from 3rd to neutral just to avoid it.

I haven't had any issues with second, other than it feels notchy from 1st to 2nd, revmatching or not. but speed is a factor if not revmatching.

I got a 1# shift knob from flossy shift knobs, it helps with notchy transmissions

Isn't there a setting you can change to unlock the passenger side door when the driver side door unlocks? My friend was having that problem and somehow fixed it

You can change the settings and set the keyless feature to unlock both doors, look it up. I did it on my limited brz

You ever get a weird grind shifting into 5th? I’ll have the clutch all the way in, and when I move it up right before it locks into 5th it feels horrendous but it only happens randomly and the gear still works fine

On the STI the keyless is set for driver side door only. But the is a setting you can change to enable the other door

My friend just got one of those and that chirping cricket noise is the fuel pump.

I also have a series blue and if you do a quick search of FT86Club you will find how to make it so both doors unlock at the same time

When you said you can't gun it, do you mean the response to hitting the pedal is slow? Because that's a major issue when it comes to cutting into lanes during traffic.

If you are still having transmission problems, have you tried double clutching? To me it sound like the synchros aren't doing their jobs right.

im sure someone already informed you, but there is a button combination you can do to make both doors unlock with the keyless entry button, great video btw

You gotta get a Hella Horn set up man. I had to get them for my 2016 WRX; it had the same horn as your BRZ

you can change your keyless entry settings. get in your car, close the doors, hold down the two buttons on your remote for ~15 seconds, now when you unlock driverside you also unlock passenger

Thanks for the video.

Well said dude. I got a catback exhaust and I don't care about the crickets as much anymore, but man does that horn get embarrassing haha. When you say "last BRZ" what happened to the last one?

at 4:30 I completely agree with you. My other car is 2011 M3. I rarely hit the 8400 RPM redline (on the street) since that always puts me well beyond the speed limit. While the M3 can be driven daily, the BRZ is my preferred choice.

What fuel are you running? A friend of mine was running 94 octane and it cause the "Cricket" sound almost like a ticking at idle, i asked him if he had checked his lifters, i mentioned i read about the octane on some brz forums.. soon as he change back to 91 octane the sound vanished..

Yeah the keyless entry thing seems to be a problem with some other cars too. I think it’s for extra safety so no one can try getting in the car while you’re getting in

Hey man, idk if its different there in the US, but I've got a BRZ S here in Australia and when i use the keyless feature (putting my hand in the handle) it open unlocks both doors.

I put an upgraded trans oil (Motul or Amsol) which calmed down those occasional clunky shifting and noise issues.
