Old school formula for a proper sports car 2door rear wheel drive , manual,and a lever hand brake = a proper drivers car

Should sell pretty well, fixed the torque curve, more power, aesthetically looks a bit better too.
@iminapunkband2 жыл бұрын
My dream car for driving around the city and suburbs. Better torque curve, fatter atmo engine probably more reliable than turbo models and cheaper to maintain, perfect amount of grunt for getting around on the streets and the motorway; would give an SS Commodore a run for its money at the lights. Love the styling too. Spare tyre looks a bit ridiculous though lol, that and the rear seats are guaranteed to make blokes' wives roll their eyes haha Great review fellas

Randomly stumbled across this video from Canada as I just picked one up. The price was the biggest shock. This car is about $10,000 less here, staring just in under $30,000, and CAD and AUD are about on par. Crazy.

Cuz Australia has low volume vehicle sales than USA. So manufacturers don't give discounts like they do in North A.

@@rsoul7282 Maybe…but it’s probably more useable performance…and you can get a manual gearbox that doesn’t have Porsche’s utterly ridiculous moonshot gear ratios. I also have to say that I think the BRZ has even better electric steering than the Cayman. It’s more practical than a Cayman. And you can buy 3 of them for the price of a Cayman. It’s not a bad “poor man’s” choice.
