Congratulations! You were a big influence when I searched for my 86 back in 2017, and now I'm also in a 2022 Brz. Thank you for the great content! I have to say, the biggest advantage for the new Brz for me, aside from the bump in torque, is the overall refinement of the new car. It is a lot easier to live with. And coming from the previous gen, the power just feels right now.

Congrats! I got my BRZ back in November. Had to go several cities over to pick it up. Same color, but the Limited trim. Got it for MSRP, too! I guarantee that you will love it--I certainly love mine, and it's my daily. It's also quicker than claimed--it's about as fast as a WRX. My advice for anyone who thinks they want one: Get it! You won't be disappointed.

I've had my Silver '23 BRZ for 6 months now and I freaking love it! I've had a bunch of vehicles over the years including 6 other sports cars and this new BRZ is my favorite out of all of them. They got so many things right with this new model. I'm a little older now so I very much appreciate the smoother ride of the BRZ over the GR86

@andrewchang7194 8 ай бұрын

Ayyyy. I got a silver BRZ as well (such a great color with lots of potential for wrapping or for decals). Love how it handles and the manual transmission is super forgiving for a learner like me. It’s my first car I’ve ever bought and it’s really everything I wanted to have (except it takes premium gas 😂). Absolutely love that the torque peaks at around 3.5k RPM’s (don’t have to rev it like a madman to get a boost in power) and the power delivery is super linear. Still breaking it in so I haven’t pushed it like crazy but I can imagine that it is absolutely an experience at high RPM’s

Also appreciate that you fit a car seat in the back - please make a short or vid about that when you can - it would be really helpful! I’m also in the same boat where I’m looking for something fun to drive under $50k - looking at Camaros, Mustangs, older M3s, older Porsches - but as you noted, don’t want another project. Keep it up - thanks!
