But the point is that these screens are laggy as a 2010 smartphone. Also, with no haptic feedback you don't even know if you really touched the "button". This is distracting during the drive and can be dangerous. I don't wanna sound like a boomer who hates screens, but if they are less precise than physical buttons, why use them?

So they kept the center one empty in the manual version 3. The Subaru engineers knew exactly what they're doing not putting a turbo in it. Watch Engineering Explained's video on why the new BRZ doesn't need a turbo for its power:weight ratio (and why a turbo would kill this cars' sales).

We also tried the rear seats in the old model with my friends once (all grown adults), and we could fit in, not comfortably, but this “you cannot fit anyone here” thing is way excessive, you just have to pull front seats forward a bit to give room to the ones in the back and not have all the available space just for yourself, and that’s that.

It's an incredible design to achieve so much with so little space.

With that, on the performance side I am a little underwhelmed with the Torque. Of course keeping the RPMs lower for break in, but this car has a long 1st gear and I can tell you are going to have to rev it to keep up with traffic. I couldn't imagine driving the 1st gen in town. The wife hates getting in and out of it to drive, which is a small negative. Car does feel a little cramped, but it's not terrible. I can see the point where people say buy this car for a track car. It does fine on the streets, but not sure you could live with it daily (if you are older like we are). Take the power issue with a grain of salt as this is coming from a Mustang guy that's used to higher HP/TQ cars, but I did have a 2018 Civic Si and that was a fun small car as well. Can't wait to get the engine broke in and see what it can really do. It handles corners wonderfully!

I would prefer to go new again, so the 2023 BRZ Limited would totally work out money-wise as I'm paying cash. I'm used to my uncomfortable V6, but it looks nicer inside and out IMO.

In today's world SUVs and some Sedans will try to run you over at stoplights. They see sporty car and think you are going to take off at every light. I do have to say again, taking curves in this car is phenomenal! The only other car I could compare the handling to is a Miata, BUT honestly I think the BRZ gives more driver confidence. For the price I would say its a good value in how crazy the market is. The boxer engine for sure is not the smoothest running engine and sounds terrible when it does its cold start cycle. LOL Once it gets up to temp though the engine sounds fine. We agree with you on the leather seats. Would have been better than the Suede, but the seats are not bad. I am worried about how long the seats will last from grabbing/rubbing them when getting in and out.The biggest issue is watching your foot when trying to get in and out of the car. You end up hitting the upper part of the door sill or the door itself. We put on the GR86 spoiler (black) on our white BRZ and it looks even better. :D

Actually everyone wasn’t complaining so much about “power” as they were complaining about it lacking torque especially down low in the rpm range. They increased max torque by about 20% but it also comes in at about half the rpm of the previous BRZ. HP has increased but it comes in at the same rpm as before.
@TimurIskhodzhanov3 жыл бұрын
You've been tricked by Subaru/Toyota marketing people. If you look at a dyno graph of the 1st gen, you'll see it had almost as much torque around 3k as its peak torque. The low end torque was never the problem, the problem was always the deep "torque dip" in the middle. The new engine still has the dip, but it's not as deep, and its lowest point is still above peak torque of the first gen. Similarly, the peak torque of the 2nd gen in the ~3500 rpm zone isn't much higher than the torque plateau around 6k.

Interesting quirk about the digital gauge cluster: The right side is an oldschool backlit LCD display. As such, the display is limited to monochromatic output and predefined shapes for assigned areas. This means it doesn't really have the ability to change configuration. The center speedometer, and the left side of the cluster are backed by a single, modern, color (probably OLED) display panel, topped by the round metallic bezel shape with horizontal lines breaking it up into areas. If you look closely in the video, you can see the boundaries of this rectangular color screen behind the gauges. The interesting part, is that to create a consistent look across the gauges, Toyota/Subaru designed the left side gauges to match not only the shape of the LCD bars on the right, but also the monochrome color scheme. Even the center dial has this kind of appearance. Keep in mind, they could have made the left and center any combination of colors available--but it is mostly white, with a touch of red (and a tiny bit of green on the bottom left by the odometer) so that the LCD display doesn't look like a separate piece from the modern screen.

I finally figured out what Doug's voice reminds me of when he's in his over excited presentation mode: Jim Parsons voiced animated feature " Home " playing a purple alien named "Oh " . The similarity is very close especially his higher pitched enunciations

He did seem very excited about this one. That’s great, I imagine after so many different ones, he really only gets going from the super weird and quirky.

Maybe someone already commented this but, 1. The rear seats are only unlockable from the trunk so that you can store personal belongings in there and set it to only unlock with the car keys. (Pressing the trunk button locks it so you can't unlock it with the lever on the driver side) 2. The increased headspace is for people with helmets on track day. It gives that extra room for them bulky helmets - but, yes it works for taller people as well haha!

I mean, it's not something I think of either but in my last Subaru the dealership put my birthday into it without me knowing so hoping on my car to drive to work and having my car saying Happy Birthday was a nice surprise. Also good if you put your SO's anniversary in a few days early as a reminder.

I really get annoyed when these beyond normal height KZbinrs say that back seats are unusable. I like Doug overall but he’s joys me with this. Had I listened to him I’d not have considered my Maserati GT. The back seats are comfortable for anyone under 5’ 11”. The brz was similar. Having more useable rear seat room than the Camaro or mustang. I commented for anyone who’s considering this but also needs useable rear seats
