I will say dealer markups are price gouging and should be illegal. I tried to test drive a 22 civic SI yesterday and not only was the dealer not allowing test drives, they added a 6k markup on top of MSRP. So a 32k car is now 38 and out the door is over 40k. That's ridiculous
@tomtang05142 жыл бұрын
Oh I've experienced worse. Tried to test drive the Supra last year, and the dealer was like: "Let's run your credit and discuss price first. Once you decide to buy the car, you may feel free to test drive it." How the fxxk is that a test drive if I already bought the car?!

I have the "limited" version, which in Canada is called "sport tech" (no idea why there is a different name for it). It puts a smile on my face every time i drive it.

In fact the sound emitted does not sound like an engine at all. It seems like some sine waves were combined to create a new noise to simulate engine noise. The end result sounds terrible.

Does it stay in sports mode after you turn off the car? Same with traction control and lane keeping assist. It is one of the main things that annoy me about modern cars. Having to configure things every time the car is started. It's what makes me think to get a base model as it hopefully comes with less. Though it might be different in Australia. The Type R came with lane keeping and other annoyances in AU when it didn't yet in other countries. PS: I did watch your Type R videos many many times. And when I got to a point of being able to buy one they stopped making them. I'm hopying to have more success with the new GR86 once it makes it to AU.

Different classes of cars so not directly comparable. Also they provide different experience. M2 offers more of everything except perhaps pure connection between driver and the car.

Agree on the steering. Apparently the rack is very slightly slower (13.5 v 13.0) but it feels like they’ve upped the assistance a bit too. It’s like they’ve been influenced by the ND Miata. It’s accurate enough and probably makes the car feel a bit more “chuckable”, but it’s lost quite a bit of feel (maybe any feel) in my opinion. Probably the only thing that I think the new model has gone slightly backwards on. Agree with the knee pad! The voice command initiation is from the steering wheel button.

I swear the Japanese just don't do good fake engine noise. I mean I'm not for them, but at leat the Germans make their soundaktors sound good. The new Civic Si and this BRZ soundaktors make it sound so much worse than just real engine noise. Its like they took a 4-cylinder sound, made it sound fartier, and threw the sound file into a speaker and called it quits.

I couldn't hear it in your video, but are you experiencing any sort of out of the norm transmission noise with your BRZ? When I depress the clutch in mine, I occasionally get a metallic rattling noise. It also makes some interesting noises if I'm coasting at 1700-2100 RPM with no throttle input.

I get the exact same noises in my 22 BRZ. Seems like the metallic rattling mainly happens after it’s warmed up.

You mentioned moving the lower bolt of the front knuckle into the top hole and installing a camber bolt in the lower hole. Are you at all concerned about this? Surely the bolt size was chosen for a reason by subaru, is the smaller diameter safe?

Im glad you said "Australia comes with a spare (tyre/tire)" because I was wondering why I sometimes saw a spare sitting in the middle of the boot/trunk in some videos and not others. Since im in Australia mine will obviously come with a spare (full size actually).. I wonder if I can pull it out and put in the repair kit instead to utilise more boot/truck space?

I'm getting ready to order one. How would you compare the seat feel between the Premium and Limited? I'm 6'3" and if one is more padded than the other, I'm concerned I might sit too high.

were there any dealer Markups when you bought it? Edit: you end up mentioning it. Thx

Had great luck in Ohio finding dealers with little to no markups.

How is the manual shift feels? It is smooth shift or do you feel a slight click (clunky) when shifting?
