You prefer the digital gauges on a sports car, you rev the engine while it is still cold on a brand new car, you start driving without having your seat adjusted properly, and you complain about someone turning as if a dozen cars on the road is “traffic”. I won’t give my conclusion of your review, just like you didn’t give a conclusion as to which car you were shocked you liked more.

Just bought a base 2023 WRX today. Absolutely love that car. I had an Si before the WRX and the WRX drives so much better and is so much smoother. The thing I like the most about my WRX is there's no rev hang. Si had tons of it and it drove me absolutely bonkers. WRX is so much fun to drive since it doesn't have any rev hang. Thank you Subaru for fixing the rev hang issue in the WRX's (something Honda should've done a long time ago and should still do). It makes the car so much more fun to drive without the rev hang. The rev hang is one of the reasons I got rid of the Si and I'm much happier with my WRX. My favourite car I've had and I plan on keeping this car for a long time. Such a fun car to drive.

I cross shopped both of these along with Miata. Really wanted to have awd sporty car to round out my driving experience but I’m a sucker for lightweight rwd sports car. The Miata was a little more fun but BRZ has actual storage. No issues getting large grocery order. The BRZ provides all the feels I look for and enough power to b enjoyable. Would buy another if anything happens to current car

I ended up going Miata, but the lack of space is becoming more and more problematic. Would you say the BRZ or WRX is more bumpy than the Miata? I could not find any dealerships nearby to allow to test drive BRZ or WRX. That's why I ended up with Miata since I could test drive really any Mazda I wanted at the local dealership.

Yes, this. Mines a premium with the HK and moon roof upgrade. Saved me a lot of money getting that vs a limited which allowed to choose a lot of other options from the factory without the car being over $40k.

As of yesterday, I own a 2022 BRZ Limited, and a 2023 WRX GT. The GT is like....light years faster. If you pop the WRX into SI+ it's scary acceleration from 0. More than likely do to the AWD from the jump, but then the turbos spool and it's night and day. I love my BRZ, it's a literal joy to drive. However, the WRX is wayyyyyyy more car.

The comparison between the BRZ and WRX makes perfect sense to me. I'm actually trying to decide between the two myself. The reason is, there just aren't a lot of fun, high quality cars on the market right now in this price range, and Subaru just happens to have two. For some reason the only vehicles every manufacturer seems interested in selling are SUVs, crossovers, and cars that look like an SUV or crossover. And Subaru has a lot of fans that specifically want a subaru, and the only decision is which model to get.

Poor job of reusing old material as a new release. The WRX video was clearly done independent of the BRZ. Near the end, you explain why you are talking about the BRZ as if you had dementia and the answer was not because you were producing a comparison video. The fact that you had no final comparison comments was the worst part of the quick throw it together job.

Apples and Oranges, 2WD vs AWD. If I lived where I could use a 2WD all year I would buy the BRZ. Reason, I dislike turbo charged engines. If you want to wear out a engine fast, turbo charge it. Anyway, I bought a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Sport and 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness last year. Both of course are AWD and have 2.5L naturally aspirated engines. Win Win!

WTF? Abrupt ending with no conclusion? Here is a tip. Slow you speech down, can't understand half of what you said. I know some young men speak.......um......quite fast but slow down and man it up a bit. Also, manual seats are piss easy to adjust, for most of us, just do it before you start drive off, you know, slow down a bit. Also, the BRZ will have the shorter gearing, check em out on the highway. That is why , for modest power output it accelerates briskly and revs to 7000 unlike the WRX, higher gearing ,more torque. Just saying.😉 I went with the BRZ

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. The big title of the video, then it just kind of ends like the battery in his camera died. The WRX has gotten insanely expensive. And shame on Subaru for putting HVAC controls on the touch screen. Someone on the WRX design team has lost touch with what Subaru customers value. Just because we have the technology to put HVAC controls on a touch screen, doesn't make it a good idea. I have a '17 BRZ Limited with Performance Pack, and a Forester XT. Love the simple controls. One thing he failed to mention is driver height. A family member who is tall with long legs opted for the WRX over my gen BRZ because he just didn't fit well.

@@clintonrodriguez9771 That's exactly where I was. I have a Forester too, so this didn't have to be very practical. That said, I test drove a Miata too, and just couldn't see how that would work with NO room in the cockpit for anything. Jackets, wife's purse, etc, all has to pretty much go in the footwells. The back seats on the BRZ are mostly uninhabitable (squeezed a single passenger in there once), but they are great for jackets, and anything you want to be able to grab without getting out of the car. Also in choosing the BRZ over the WRX, I wanted, for once, to choose a light RWD car built on a dedicated platform, vs something designed to be 10 different flavors depending on mods. I'd already had a Civic Si, and the WRX is an Impreza on steroids. Nothing wrong with those cars, but I'd never had a great time/circumstance to just go for the dedicated design until I pulled the trigger on this. Got a great deal - it was still on the lot in January of '18. Sadly, it is difficult to even find the new gen BRZ/GT86 on a dealer lot.

The base (premium 🙄) WRX starts lower (under 30k USD - maybe he meant CAD) than the limited BRZ. Only when you option it does it get that high. Shit the base ecoboost is the price of a BRZ. But once you go Premium the price rockets up 5k (and the premium is Much better than the base - least they finally added a touch display -_-). If you want it convertible (add over 6k since it doesn't come in base models), auto tranny (add 1.6k), the high performance package which also adds magnaride and dual exhaust (add 6.1k), the digital cluster (add 2.8k), speaker upgrade (add 1k), you end up over 50k before a spoiler and blackout options, wheels or paints. Nevermind if you want the V8...you might as well just try for a GT-350, or at least a Mach1 if you're going fully loaded.

Which is why you can make about 50 hp with a tune and almost another 50 with bolt ons. Subaru themselves have stated they made this car for tuning. I don't know how "reviewers" like you miss this. 😂

I was actually torn between these 2 cars myself. The WRX is the more practical choice for sure. I just wasnt sold on the looks so I ordered a BRZ a year ago. I have since taken a WRX for a test drive to see what I might be missing out on. I was VERY unimpressed with the WRX. Even though on paper it makes more power, it is also much heavier, revs lower, and the AWD creates more drivetrain power loss. The result is the BRZ is 1000 times more fun to drive. I am sooo glad I didnt buy the WRX. To solve the practicality problem, I also just ordered the Impreza RS. Why compromise with 1 car, when 2 is better. !!

I recently went for an Ikea run with my BRZ and had no problem fitting flattened furniture in the back. And it's not the first time I've easily transported furniture. Practicality is overlooked or underestimated for small cars in general IMO. Most people don't need the amount of space they buy.

@@WhatisaLee The BRZ can definitely carry some stuff. Just not more than 2 people. I find the backseats completely useless, even for children. With good winter tires it can drive in light snow too, but its too low to deal with more than a few inches. Those reasons gave me an excuse to buy another subaru, one with AWD. Lol

@@SacredCASHcow I didnt "have" to. But I wanted a real performance car which to me only exists in RWD. I also wanted a great useable daily drive that my kids could drive and has room to haul stuff, which is what makes hatchbacks great. Since subaru sucks and doesnt give a wrx hatch and just this overly cladded goofy looking sedan, that ruled that out as well. So my logic was, why settle for 1 half assed vehicle when I can have 2 and get exactly what I want?

@boost331 I don't agree with the hivemind about the looks. I just ordered a wrx 2023, and I don't even have kids. I just like having backseats. I also feel like power is not that important to me. I don't want a speeding ticket. I do want good handling, awd, etc.

@@BRZguy CVT only for the GT model, you're right, terrible idea, plus it costs too much. Even the limited trim is a bit much. Looks are subjective, to me it looks better in person, except for the rear bumper. The fenders I already got used to, and now even Porsche is adding them to their off road 911. I wouldn't say they dropped the ball though because there's really no other AWD 4 door sedan for under $40k with a manual.

@@mistamaog I've seen em in person too and I just can't get over all the cheap plastic trim they have everywhere. Reminds me of an early 00's econobox. And the proportions of the last gen were just better. On this one, the grille is too big, the headlights are too far apart, rear bumper plastic takes up too much vertical space. They dropped the ball relative to the previous gen.

Hello! Quick question, I can not seem to get my rev match down shifts down from 3rd to 2nd gear in my wrx. I was wondering if you had any suggestions that would help?
@MrNbkelly
@MrNbkelly Жыл бұрын
You just have to blip harder (a lot harder imo) from 3->2. 6 to5, 5to4, 4to3 are all about the same light blip, but 3to2 and 2to1 require a way larger blip (Would guess it has to do with gearing) for it to be smooth. Also, a louder exhaust may help you learn it quicker/easier as you'll have an auditory cue to accompany your foot cue.

Yes, bigger blip and or let the clutch out faster once you hit the throttle before the rpm’s drop. 3rd to 2nd is hardest for me to get smooth too.
