As a BRZ owner. The only complaints that I do have is the fact that it has a tiny fuel tank, it requires premium fuel, it’s not fast in straight line speed, and I wouldn’t recommend it for 12 hour road trips! Trust me on the that one! Driving from Central California to Idaho definitely isn’t for the faint of heart! Haha

What do I hate about the FRS? Boxer engine. That's right, I said it. Work on it, you'll see why. What do I love about the FRS? RWD. Its also pretty basic, which is nice. No giant iPad dash here. All in all, it could be worse. It could be an RX-8. Looking forward to those upgrades and track days. Cheers.

@jrod1577 20 күн бұрын

Audiophile here: You can't "fix" the sound system in any BRZ/FRS/GT86/GB86 with a new sound system. Its only about 10% of the problem. The main 90% is just unavoidable light weight sports car problems. Thin sheet metal vibrates like crazy, amplifying the sound of tire and wind noises in the car and allowing bass to escape the car. The best fix is to add small patches of sound deadening in key areas such as inside the doors, roof, floor, transmission tunnel and wheel wells(from the inside). This can make even the cheapest sound systems sound like studio quality. These cars don't have bad speakers, just bad acoustics. BUT, that would add a out 100lbs to the car which would be undesirable to most people.

@sethlozeau2962 Ай бұрын

I honestly like the 86’s and you didn’t do half bad with this one. My only gripe with Toyota and Subaru for these cars (and why I never bought one) is the same complaint that most gear heads have. They have a perfectly awesome STI engine readily available that would turn these cars into absolute screamers, but nope. 200hp it is. 👎🏻

Once you go wide and sticky you lose that ability to slide easily, easily with only 200hp stock. I'm FBO with coilovers and the works and have 255 200tw tires and while I can fly around turns at supercar speeds I am literally unable to slide my car around since it just doesn't make the power to do so. Rear seats aren't to fool insurance companies. They don't just look at it and say gosh darn it you got us, it is must not be a sports car due to the rear seats. Or that it is any less dangerous. They figure out everywhere possible to squeeze the most money from you. The rear seats are simply there to make the car a bit more practical everyday. You can fit people you hate back there, use it for extra storage, and you can also fold the backseats down for even more room. And its predecessor (AE86) had them.

@Tyrgoth99 Ай бұрын

RTV has no direct connection to oil starvation on the new gen. Yes there's a little that gets caught in the pickup screen, but it doesn't block the flow, and has nothing to do with blown engines. The cause is well established at this point and there are a few workarounds including products in development to fix it. Don't waste time on oil pan baffles as they can make the issue worse. Do some research, and you'll find that these guys are talking about theoretical stuff that's many months out of date (and not supported by people doing actual testing on tracks). Blown engines are from high rev, high g long right turns that get some oil caught in the upper/mid galleys of the engine, resulting in slow oil return, and air gets pulled up instead. That's it.

Toyota is supposed to be reliable and all about longevity. I get it was a financial/business move to obtain a share of the company but man it would’ve been nice for the engine to be a real, reliable, Toyota. I would still buy one 😏

You want a car thats OVER built. A car with room to grow. To me, that means a naturally aspirated v6 or v8, with an engine that can handle boost out of the box. With these you have to start with an engine swap, then boost it, plus reinforcing everything else in the car, cuz it was never meant to have actual power. 4 cyl's are a no-go for me.

Insurance isn't cheaper due to having a back seat. Insurance companies aren’t stupid. The actuarily assess the risk of the driver and area in which the driver lives against the cost of repairs and or replacement in the event of a total loss. They take down your vehicle’s VIN to know what trim level and or other features your car has from the factory. A two + 2 sports car is not going to be in the same class as a family sedan😂
