In my language BRZ mean Fast

[@zinny999]

BRZ all day long... here is Australia is almost 4k difference.

[@lynnmckenney1987]

How does it compare to the fiesta st??

[@shakespeareracing7822]

For everyone saying the car "understeers a ton" it really doesn't on the street. You can still easily induce oversteer by either throttle oversteering as Yuri did, or by trail braking. It's very easily to set the twins up nearly identically by changing spring rates, sway bar settings, and adding camber. On the track, the BRZ definitely does have terminal understeer through tight corners. That being said it still is a TON of fun and will make you a much better driver. 10/10 would recommend.

[@GR_FIRERARIZZ]

both cars are beast on the track out the box. They just need better pads, DOt 4 fluid, and camber bolts up front. and I am adding an oil cooler for those HOT summer CA track days.

[@drivingpsyche]

@@GR_FIRERARIZZ definitely get oil cooler kit. Ppl are reporting 290F oil temps after hot session in warm climates with stock cooling.

[@drivingpsyche]

I like to call BRZ suspension “less oversteering “ then 86.

[@GR_FIRERARIZZ]

@@drivingpsyche after driving fwd and awd my whole life i welcome any and all oversteer... more fun and skill required to control the car. plus not like its something i cant tuned out via suspension tuning. I'll see how the car is at the track this summer. im actually installing my color fittings oil cooler tomorrow.

[@rickc2102]

I used to coax oversteer from an Eclipse, no worries.

[@VanjaPejovic]

I got the new BRZ over the 86. Since I didn't drive either before I ordered it, the biggest difference was that my Subaru dealer has an amazing service department, and I don't know anything about the local Toyota dealers.

[@felspawn4841]

Same i got a BRZ over the 86. Asthetically i just like the face better, and the Subaru dealer sold it to me without markup, Toyota didnt want to do the same

[@65hi863dhyu]

Bought the BRZ. Because of the stiffer rear swaybar mounting points, stiffer bushings, lighter aluminum knuckles and the more linear throttle map. Modifying so a bit of a better canvas than the GR86.

[@DragonKnightX12]

Same. My Subie dealership was awesome. Seems like most Toyota dealers didn’t even know these cars existed till they hit the lot. They were sending people Supras. lol

[@R03333]

Honestly the handling differences will boil down to nothing as soon as you get an alignment. All this "more playfulness" of one model Vs the other will be 99% because of alignment.

[@65hi863dhyu]

@@R03333 respectfully disagree. There's definitely the better parts and higher rear lateral stiffness in the BRZ. That's why i bought it. The better parts without the carry over rear mounting points, softer bushings and more rear end movement. Why I went to Bilstein B8/Swift Spec R staggered spring set up. - 1 camber all around with a bit of rear toe out to get the rear end around a little easier. Rear lcas. Softer rates up front. Stiffer in the rear. Now even more tail happy and I still get to keep my aluminum knuckles for less unsprung weight, stiffer bushings, stiffer rear mounting points and linear throttle map. Can even change the bumpers if I want. Win/win

[@hsimpson1152]

I love the fact that this car exists. Reminds me more of the 240z days more than the modern z's. Just a simple sports coupe that's affordable and mod'able. Too bad about the fake " vroom vroom" sounds and those cup holders. That blue is 🔥🔥🔥

Congrats! Same here, came in yesterday. Personally, I don't want a car that's prone to "goonery", I want a car that sticks like it's supposed to and helps me to drive faster and easier. BRZ is that car, so that's what I bought. Enjoy yours to the max!

[@noahcoronado5257]

As a owner I love my sport tech brz. The factory short shifter is great in my opinion. But one thing that I see people always miss is the “hidden” drift mode. When you hold down the traction button for long enough you will see the dash change into what looks like track mode but unlike track mode it turns traction completely off.

[@paulstabin6233]

Great job of delineating the differences between these two enthusiast gems. Toyota went for more tail happy fun, Subaru went for more buttoned down precision. Both approaches are legit. The GR86 nailed the exterior design. The BRZ nailed...the price point. Thank you Mr. Toyoda.

[@aroundomaha]

I bought the BRZ last December. The local Toyota dealer had zero information but Subaru did. I didn’t buy for colors, grill, etc. I wanted the driving experience and the BRZ has delivered that. After three autocross events I’m 100% happy with my choice. Add the OEM camber bolts for $30 and the understeer becomes a mute point.

[@metalmystic6214]

Which camber bolts did you go with? My 23 BRZ arrives in August and I’ll be looking to fix the small amount of under steer if it has it.

I’d go with the BRZ because it looks a bit more exotic rather than boy racer. I’ve seen both in person and I prefer the BRZ. Also I’d rather have a Subaru badge on my steering wheel rather than a Toyota badge.

[@Mav86asian]

That’s exactly what i think. Despite Toyota being a lot larger than Subaru, they make bread and butter cars mostly, while Subaru is a smaller more idealistic specialized company.

[@shawnwang2182]

one big noticeable difference from the last generation: the turn signal switch now bounces back rather than stays in the left/right position. yes, it is now fully electrical.

[@Lord_Sunday123]

Turn signals have been fully electrical for a long time, probably since the mid 2000s on most cars. This is just a difference in switches.

I got the new BRZ for 5 months now and im loving it, Pearl white with the limited trim with STI parts on the way. Its definitely a precision machine through the canyons but its still fairly easy to throw out the back with the throttle on any turn, the quality is absolutely better than the last gen, awesome tech, gorgeous looks, No comparison for me the GR86 has a subaru engine, soooo..... its Subaru all the way!

I placed an allocation request for gr86. Found a couple of dealers that didn't have markup and projected 2-3 month wait. I didn't drive either of the cars but I like the front end of the 86 better and I heard brz tends to understeer. I have a small concern for maintenance by Toyota since it's basically a Subaru and some mechanics might not have even seen one, but I think I'll do most small repairs myself

[@zalien6]

They have a computer that runs a checklist basically for any repair, shouldn't be too worried about it. My friend showed me how in depth the scanner tool they use is for Ford, I'm sure Toyota/Subaru offer the same thing. I was really impressed by it... it's step by step until the job is done. Wish we could buy that for our cars

[@CSHracer]

I always like pointing out, this car is absolutely underrated from the factory and is likely around 250hp. I compiled a list of nearly 30 dyno runs from posts on forums and facebook groups. Stock the average so far is 215whp and 175lb-ft. So there is no way the reported figures are correct. This is also backed up by its 0-60 and 1/4 times. And it just makes sense. The FA20 made over 100hp/liter, so why wouldn't the FA24 a decade later? I thin the main driving force behind the false numbers is stepping on the 2.0t Supra's toes, which makes 255hp.

Biggest difference between the BRZ/86 - you can order a BRZ and have it delivered within a decent amount of time vs getting on a list at a Toyota dealer and hoping they get one you want. Toyota also seems to be making a lot of automatics for whatever reason.

I drove both in Gran Turismo 7 and they feel different. In the game, the BRZ is my choice. However, I heard that Toyota has done something to make the car rev happier and in real life where I will not be racing other people, the improved things in the engine will tip the balance. On the other hand, with the price difference, I can cancel the induction sounds in the cabin and install the exhaust with the unequal headers and remember why I bought my 2018 STI, the rewarding driving experience. With unequal headers sound, Subaru might be the right choice, since it was a signature sound on the street with the EJ engines that sound so cool making people decide to buy them just to be able to enjoy that experience. I would love to drive them a couple of days before deciding. I definitely want one of the two.

Subaru has relatively less roll stiffness in the rear, GR86 has more. It's little like the difference between the AP2 and AP1 versions of the S2000. Honda did the same trick to calm down the oversteer.

Trueno blue is the best color IMO for the 86. Light blue, pavement, silver, bRed is no comparison to me. See the Toyota trueno blue in person and you'll know what I mean.

[@gyneve]

it's trueno, not tureno. 👍

[@DragonKnightX12]

No match for Subie’s World Rally Blue though.

[@XxUltimateGodzXx]

@@DragonKnightX12 You gotta see trueno blue in person. Otherwise that would be my backup option.

placed my order on the BRZ, 4k difference CAD

[@gameboyterrorysta6307]

I prefer look of BRZ, so I would get it for 2k less and spend difference on stiffer rear sway bar and exhaust.

[@shehandesilva7530]

Personally I also hate the black wheel fad - so the BRZ wheels look better to me. And maybe I'm old and boring but drifting is not a priority to me - so in that sense the BRZ sounds like a more serious sports car too. $2k cheaper and both those benefits in my book? BRZ is a no brainer!

Owned a 2019 brz sport tech was fun but under powered , got a 22 VN DCT and literally blows it away lol now if Toyota put the GR turbo engine in there 86 I’d be in love

3 pot engine is weak af tho. It's already running like 25 psi boost from factory. Don't get me wrong, it's a good engine, but not for modding if you're into modding or getting higher ceiling out of engines etc. The best for BRZ would be an EJ engine btw. That is why the GT300 BRZ runs an EJ. EJ platform, like it or not, has insane development behind it. The FA engine doesn't, and never will with EV around the corner.

Why is the thumbnail front bumper, elongated ...compared to the side skirts ??

I got burned on the 2013 valve spring recall. It destroyed my engine twice. Dealer made me pay 6k out of pocket

Did you photo shop the brz in the thumbnail? Its bumper looks way lower.

[@tunedskillsz]
