I use to judge this car based off of the power until I actually drove one. They are so much fun to drive and it handles very well

The red paint on the intake manifold adds 50 horsepower.

I think the reason why they don't turbocharge it is because it would cannibalize some sales of the WRX.

They really cleaned up the rear tail lights, front bumper, and wheels. Looks great!

Dude cracks me up how rough he is with the interiors on his reviews. Always hitting and slamming everything down hard lol

Dude you wouldn't want a sunroof for this car. The whole point of this car is 1) light weight and 2) low centre of gravity.

So many people argueing that this car has low hp, cheap interior and still sell expensive. And many comparing this to other car like mustang, golf, focus, you name it. You simply can't compare them with other as they do a totally different job. This is not a muscle car, it is built purposely to different driving experience. And I think Japanese car maker finally go back to their roots, just like the AE86 or other JDM car. They are not as powerful, but they are the perfect platform for mod just like you would on JDM car. This car is a ninja, small power yet agile. And this car will perform very well in Japan, a small country with lots of mountain road. Bottom line, I wouldn't mind about slow accel or top speed, I mind about cornering speed. Plus I wouldn't be driving crazy fast in my daily life.

The tail lights look aftermarket ones but it looks so modern. Gotta love these cars

I bought a 2018 BRZ early June. I was regretting it in the beginning because it was my first manual but I got the hang of it now and I absolutely love it. Manual is thoughtless now almost and the car is fun as hell. Not super comfy for longer trips (3-4+ hours). Great car overall

When your car only has 115 HP and makes me appreciate 200 HP cars. lol

I'm driving a Cadillac ATS 2.0T on a lease which is expiring, so I'm looking for something new and fun. I have no idea what I'm getting yet, but I'm finding myself reviewing every idea by watching your channel. You're reviews are in-depth, detailed and filled with the sort of information which helps a person make an informed decision. No fluff. You my friend have earned a sub...keep up the great work.

you don't know how happy I am when I see sofyan upload a new video

Your review make me want to buy a BRZ right now. LOL

Just bought this exact spec car used yesterday. Never thought i really wanted an brz till I drover one. Don’t let the numbers fool you. It’s so much fun to drive even at low speeds which makes it fun all the time!!

Drove one of these the other day, very fun little car.

Great review, Sofyan! You are such an informative and very descriptive reviewer! I really like the new Subaru BRZ's refreshed design. It keeps the vehicle looking fresh and competitive with its competition. Keep up the great work! -DriveAndBeDriven

How to sell a cheap car in 2016: slap LEDs on it

Nice review! I just picked up my 2017 BRZ last week and agree, it is really nice! I previously had a 2013 FRS.

I like the updates to the car! These are fun little cars. Nice review

Very professional, informational and fun review.

Them seats look comfy as fuck. I need a BRZ looks really good.

they need to add apple carplay and android auto

I test driven one of the BRZ, it is incredibly awesome! Great performance.

I love the tail, head lights, bumper, spoiler and the dash! I would put this on my BRZ

Whoa. 5 whole horsepower!

subaru finally listened! they gave us a whopping 5 horsepower

I like the UHHs that you add in every other sentence of your review. Make it longer... like "UHHHH" and "UMMM" to show how fresh and real the review is!!!

Literally crying here! This car is so beautiful! I can't wait until I can get my hands on one!

Nice, they added a live display so you can visually see when you're sputtering around in the infamous torque dip that they apparently didn't bother fixing.

not gonna lie, This is one sweet ride. Normally I'm a euro guy when it comes to cars (I still am) but this is nice. Good review

Excellent review... I love the shift light and the beep so much

i just subscribed, love the review and would be happy to see more!

Seriously, what's the intro song in the video? And great review- makes me want to save up some more for the 2017 model, rather than the 2014

can't wait until you review the new type r civic when it arrives in the US

Well done bro, by the way nice Shirt as well ...... As always awesome and knowledgeable video..👍👍👍

wow what a great review. I think I like this car now. I have a 2013 frs that I bought 2 and a half or 3 months ago that I'm very happy with. I still haven't played with the sport mode or traction because of a car accident I was in before I bought the car has me a little scared to push any car. this makes me want to go to an empty parking lot and try it out this weekend

The exterior of the vehicle is very bold and aggressive . I love the refined shape and the sporty visual appeal . Conversely , the interior seems obsolete and the instrument cluster could use a refresh . Would’ve been better if Subaru incorporated all leather seats . I understand it is a sports car , and alcantara inserts gives it that traditional sporty feel, but leather is more premium .

That LCD screen placement is pissing me the hell off.

Nice review. Very nice quality. Will be getting this brz, just debating on whether I should get the perf package.

Sofyan did I hear you rev match at 15:08??? I think that's the first time I've heard you do it on a car that doesn't do it for you! So proud.

You still gotta rev the heck out of it to get any kind of acceleration.

Can you review the new Honda civic hatchback with a manual transmission when it comes out?

hmmm just found out this channel this is wayyyyyyy better than other shit review channels clear and quick no BS very professional review

wow i love your Reviews!!!!, keep it up, btw the sound???, how does the BRZ make that awsome sound??xDDD its awsome for that price.!!

Are they tire size on this and the Toyota 86 square or are they staggered?

That power band gauge is actually awesome and I'm surprised it's been added, I wonder if it'll know to change itself after performance mods have been added

Stellar review. Good job

Great review. That car looks like a blast to drive

hey Sofyan can you try to review a Toyota tundra please (:

Actually allowing you to see the imfamious torque dip on the LCD screen isnt making me want this model year. :( There were rumors that this would be fixed, but out the box they are showing you clearly its not. Kind of weird they would include a feature that allows you to see a major flaw.

Performance package 2017 BRZ looks really good. White exterior + black rims + red brembos!

I'm glad your presentation's speech has become much better - a lot less of those "uh..." pauses do wonders. Great job. The engine shot portion actually got me a bit nauseous though lol, your cam is sweeping around left and right too much, and the shaking doesn't help. Try to do one full clean sweep, left to right, then back to left.

i think the BR Zed looks nicer than the 86

I know it drives great (I've driven 3 of the pre-refreshed ones), but it needs more torque. Most people are often not in places where you can exploit what is fun about this car, so it needs to be a little more exciting in a straight line to be great. Until then, it's a bit too expensive. At least this one looks A LOT better than the '17 Toyota version.

Great review, new subscriber!

Hey Sofyan, which car would you buy if you can choose between this Subaru BRZ and the new Civic SI 2018? I know they are different cars but I'm not really sure about which would be the best option and I really would appreciate your thoughts! Your reviews are always great!

*Edit Needs forced induction.Not really all that cheap. Up here at altitude where I stay , even the cheapest most basic turbo hot hatch dusts these things off. Around 280-315 bhp these things make a lot of sense I'd reckon.

better than the 2017 Toyota g86

defiantly getting my hands on one next year. great looking car

First mod: Forged wheels with 245 section tires, performance summer rubber. Sofyan....how good does the A/C work in warm weather?

10:50 what did he blur out?

I'd love to have one of these with a supercharger

great intro with the shirt lol

Nice video, finally some changes... Still waiting for the STi badge on the BRZ

Hey Redline reviews, is it just me or have they done a better job with the sound of the car? It seemed when you did the exhaust clip and during the drive portion it had a nicer sound than what I recall? What's your opinion. :)

So this is the first video of yours I've watched, and I appreciate the video but I honestly had to give up watching at the halfway mark because the "Subscribe" popup every 30-40 seconds is REALLY distracting and super frustrating on a 23 minute long video. Just once at the beginning and once at the end is plenty - if you're super bothered about always having that "subscribe" reminder, maybe integrate it as a static part of your logo or something? It's just really, really distracting to have it keep popping up and disappearing. Not trying to hate or anything, just wanted to offer some constructive criticism, your production quality and actual content is great otherwise.

im so in love with this car! i cant wait to own one.

This video totally makes me want to go to the Subaru dealer and test this car out! :)

I hate the way you say "pedestal" at 3:16

Wish you could have mentioned which trim level was your tester was

Great looking car and such a nice noise from that flat four. Love it.

It took me OVER A YEAR to get used to the throttle in the BRZ. But once I realized what Subaru wanted of the driver and why it's like this, it was a GAME CHANGER. Basically, they wanted this car to be a "slow" city commuter with amazing fuel economy (for the era), hence the torque dip in the lower-middle of the rev range. They ALSO wanted you to turn into a Formula 1 pro (and did their best to make you feel like it) when you hit a corner or a country road. You need to keep the car screaming at 5000+ RPM floor it to 7400 out of a corner and then powershift up and then down every corner - sometimes two gears in 2 seconds! You MUST NOT try to floor the gas in 3rd at 4000 RPM. Do the work. It's a car that forces you to learn to drive like a pro and rewards you with some of the rawest, most agile, and thrilling driving experience on the entire market. Sadly, so many dumb people (like myself) and even reviewers try to drive it after getting out of a TDI or a Supra and then complain it doesn't pull. Subaru, I understand now. I understand why they forced you to change the BRZ in 2021. Thank you for making it in the first place.

BRZ THE BEST EVER 💺💞

I want this car so bad.

Interesting review! Which car would you say is best for balance, power, etc at under $30k? Need some good opinions, planning to get one soon late 2018

Great review, btw do you rev-match on your downshifts? Thanks in advance :)

has a nicer front end that Toyota

Oh how I wish I wasn't a poor university student....that being said, I'd be all for an AWD Turbocharged BRZ haha

Those roads look like so much fun to drive! (I live in Florida every road is flat and straight)

great video...ordering mine soon!!!

Car intro song pls??

Sadly I have to wait for a year and 3 months to buy this car.😥😪😢 unless i can make something happen.

Great review

The OIL temperature gauge is finally here. Still missing the turbo boost. No problem, the Abarth has it... Thanks for the video.

I'm 25 years old male does it suits me or to old for me ???

This made me depressed, I got a 2015 brz, which is same as all previous year, now they decide to upgrade everything... GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I've gotta ask since it was shown here. Does the retail version of the 2017 BRZ actually carry the rear view camera

How do you get the lights to rotate? Also, how do you change the shift pattern beep from 7,000 rpm, down to 5,000? Mine somehow is set to 3,000 and have not had time to go through the BRZ manual.

But it does need more power because people that buy this type of car care about power as well as handling.

In Thailand BRZ price is 90k usd 😂 I love Thailand❤❤❤

as always, great review.

My dream car. I've been saving up for this. This will be mine soon.

:( buttons on the wheel is just clutter, like the old buttonless wheel.

i test drove a 2016 frs and it was slow as hell. Waste of money, not impressed. I dont see why people just don't buy a used 370z. So much more horsepower and probably 5 grand cheaper.

Very good review, informative

Hey Redline, updated BRZ or RC-F for a daily driver? I've driven both and I still can't decide. The RC-F is (obviously) the better high way car, but that horse power feels almost excessive and unusable for a daily driver.

Just put a turbo in it already, worse car to own at high altitude I.e. Colorado

This guy cares way too much about tech stuff. Turn signals really????

Thank you, it helped decide what make to purchase which is a Subie.

Kamusta! Great reviews as always!
