Stock for stock, it basically all comes down to if you want a happy face or a mean face. 🤷‍♂️

I may not be first, I may not be last, I see gt86, I click really fast

Scion - mad face BRZ - happy face GT86 - meh face

yall should have had a GT86 in the video to creat even more confusing lmao

Man a subaru fr....i mean scion br....dammit

If one of these were debadged, it would be 3 different cars

My favorite thing about the 86/FRS/BRZ is the handling. I love swinging it around corners.

Corporate needs you to find the difference between the FRS and BRZ They’re the same

I'd go Subaru just for the community. Subie Fam is huge and passionate about there brand.

I'm old school so this is the modern equivalent of Camaro/firebird. The same car but different enough to have their own styles. Or in the truck world Chevy/GMC.

"So I can hear every time a squirrel humps a tree" is probably the most accurate saying for a stripped interior lol

I think the Toyota badge makes it seem so much more unsuspecting. But you nailed it, I would choose Scion/Toyota purely out of brand loyalty.

Funny the Toyota has UEL headers so the Toyota has the “ Subie Rumble” lol

Both cars look nice imo, however I do like the scion/86 better because of that front bumper. It looks and stands out more.

I like the FRS front bumper more, even than the “newer” GT86!!

Love this platform. ❤️

I just got a lava frs a few months back and I have absolutely fell in love with it. It's my first manual ever and I have never smiled so much.

Love my dso2 wheels and tein coilovers! Thank you for the amazing fitment!

Reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson with the GT86 and BRZ.

Agree on the lego part. I'll probably never sell my FRS and just keep modding it over time. Someday maybe giving it to my son when he's old enough. Probably still be rocking the Raijins and BR Coilovers by then too. Thanks for those guys!

Do 2020 supra and 2020 Z4 next!

I gotta say it, at first I didn’t like gels’ car but man, looks so good now!!!😍😍😍

What an awesome analogy at the end!

No matter which one you end up choosing I think the really valuable aspect of these cars is what he lovingly refers to as 'lego'. These are great, comfortable, easy, and when taken care of reliable platforms to learn how to work with vehicles. At the end of the day, more could you as for in a coupe daily driver.

Max just savage af, tellin' it like it is 16:37

The wheels on that BRZ look really good

y’all should do something with then GENESIS COUPE. i really love those cars!!!

Congrats on 500k

on the bright side, if that brz rolls over, you'll be perfectly safe and strapped in!

I have a FRS. My friend has the BRZ. I'd still pick my FRS over the BRZ. Though I would like the newer 86.

I'd get a BRZ because: It comes with heated seats and dual zone climate control and where I live the winters are ROUGH. (also I like how the headlights and gauge cluster looks more but...those are very simple to swap between the two cars)

Next episode: JDM vs EURO the epic battle!

Alex bruh you’re the best! Been subscribed for so long and I never miss a vid with you man!

Agreed Alex, please stop making loud/angry BRZ, FRS, 86 and put some power based performance stuff or just leave them at the stock power and just make it look good. These cars are becoming more and more this generations ricer Civic

I want Gels' exhaust on my BRZ. It's so perfect sounding

Love my 2013 FRS. #1 reason why I picked FRS over BRZ: The FRS has the "86" badge. Need to pay respect to it's older brother the AE86.😊😉

Comparing these to SRT4 and civics is not giving them enough credit. The chassis an the weight distribution is one of the best in the business and makes for an extraordinary platform to build on..... TASTEFULLY.... If you can keep them unsullied, they’re going to be classics.. The FRS is a good example of this.

Grrr8 Video!!!

I needed this video lol

What’s the exhaust on the FRS? Sounds wonderful....

THANK YOU racing harness on a daily driver is beyond dumb. Unless track boi

I think the biggest difference you missed was just interior. When they first came out, from what I saw when I was spec-ing them out, the brz had the cooler interior with little race style toggle switches near the shifter and the digital display for your dual climate control. The frs however had the really cheap looking three dials that looked like my '98 jetta The frs got that option in the later years as well as the Toyota version when the gt86 came out. Other than that, same car.

Gels’ 86 is coming along niceley👌

Just needed a turbo option oh well

Great video as always. What wheels are on the FRS? I need some for my Genesis. thanks.

Scion FRS owner, any tips for where to start nodding? I'm thinking about getting a little more engine power and speed. Also I love this car, hugs curves and sharp turns like a champion

I've got a 13' BRZ. The only mods i've done is Suspension, wheels, sti lip kit, Ducktail, and UEL PSR Header. That's all i need. and all will ever need. mostly cosmetic mod and sound.

I hope the person with the race harness actually takes his car to the track. If he doesn’t... why

I have a '15 BRZ. I went to both local dealerships, Subaru and Scion, and what an eyeopener. The Scion dealership was one corner of a Chevrolet - Toyota regional dealership chain with a 'Meh' reputation and their salesmen weren't interested in talking to me about the one FR-S. they had: an automatic parked inside the showroom. If I were a teenager or some 20-something I might have understood, but I was in my fifties! On the other hand the local Subaru dealership has a long standing stellar reputation for excellent service and many of my co-workers recommend them. Their salesmen happily let me test drive a car and even though I didn't take the engine over the break-in limit of 4500rpm I could tell that it was what I wanted. My decision was made by the dealership reputation and the fact that the BRZ could be optioned with heated seats, pushbutton start, etc. - better options! I agree, the car needs more power. The problem isn't the 'only 200HP' issue, it's mostly the 'barely 151 ft-lbs' of torque that pretty much disappears between 3000 and 5000 rpm issue! Out of the box, the car barely has enough power off the line to beat it's own shadow - its almost dangerous! You learned that once up to speed you would need to downshift two or three gears to accelerate, which was quite intimidating at first! I strongly suggest any BRZ/FR-S owner spring $500 for the Open Flash Tablet as is does a decent job of filling in the "Torque Dip". I also installed a catted UEL header and a cat-back exhaust. They also fill in the torque deficit and cut down on the need for heroic downshifting! There is no local dyno so I am guessing it might make 220 HP, maybe? The Prius tires don't help at all, they wear like iron and have the same traction. My winter wheel/tire set has more traction. I have Pilot Sport 4s' on Enkei RPF-1s for summer tires and they increase the BRZ's grip by an order of magnitude. I use mine as a daily driver. I switch between an older BMW 3-series (not an M!) and the BRZ. They are comparable in performance but totally different in personality.

Alex's frs looks very nice 👌

Do opposite Lanes Lexus is300 vs Toyota Supra please I love your guys content💯🔰

You buy the subaru cause its a subaru engine in it. Ask 2013 owners with valve springs issues.. I would prefer a subaru tech working on my engine than a toyota one.

Do you guys ever have plans on expanding? Maybe a Fitment Industries LA or anywhere else

BRZ comes with more features without having to look for the special editions of the FR-S (Monogram, 10 Series, Hakone). I took on the mission of converting my FR-S to a BRZ (all harnesses swapped and smart access features installed). it was a painful project, but thankfully I completed it. FR-S does carry a more aggressive front while the 86 and BRZ is a more refined look. Overall... Left shoe, right shoe.

Which would I choose? The Subaru. 2 Main reasons: there is a terrific Subie specialist near me (and, yes, I know that both cars are pretty much Subarus), and since I have a mountain of CDs, I would pick the Subaru because of the 2-3 cars it is the only one factory fitted with a CD player. Try finding the Scion or Toyota with a factory CD player.

What you got against racing harness. I love my 3 point sparco harness in my daily evo x.

I own a used 2013 base model FR-S and my buddy has a new(one owner) 2018 BRZ Ts and we had this discussion once because his girlfriend asked what is the difference? We asked around owners from varies age groups and found the results interesting. The younger owners would prefer the FR-S since it is cheaper as a used vehicle compared to a BRZ of the same year. Save some money for the first few mods. With the older generations ie baby boomers, they rather buy a BRZ since the car brand is better know, it offers different trim levels, and it one complete package deal. Regardless, I would pick the FR-S since Scion only sold the car only one trim level with a fix MSRP (with special editions throughout the years); therefore, I can enjoy building it. Plus I always have a good ice breaker since a lot of people would ask, "Scion, is that a new brand? I never heard of it. They must make expensive cars." - (me in my head, it is just a Toyota/Subaru)

I went with an FRS for a few reasons. The FRS has lower insurance rates and yes it was less used. (FRS wheel specs?)

If you compare the two you need to point out the fact that the frs had a different spring rate front and back than the brz. When the 86 took the frs place they matched the spring rate to the brz, but early models where different

I think something that needs to be said. As a Toyobaru owner you can shop for parts at both Subaru and Toyota dealers. The exact same part can have a huge price difference between 2 dealers.

I love the intro, what song is that?

what a beautiful car

FI Noti Gang Gang

If only my brz looked that nice and clean! I daily mine and due to the pandemic i had to move into the country side. So much for keeping the blue all shiny. Dang dusty roads! 😭

Hearing the engine rev out but the trees behind him were still passing by at a modest speed

The unequal length headers gives that traditional “Subie” rumble. But he’s going to want to watch his pistons. The 2.0 is meant to be equal length. So doing that cause extra stress.

Good thing you had that racing harness and roll cage to go 58mph LOL

Does the KW suspension works with the 2017 BRZ/86? Need link if ever works.

One has a Frown, one has a happy face, one is a catfish . They all good and very much the same i got the brz . Cause it has black and red stitching, push start, heated seats, spoiler, radio apps and more leather for the same price as a new 2020 86 with one 2/6 of those things i listed

the answer is simple: GT86

Mustang vs Camaro 💪

Bumping in both 😂

@1:52 The doors hold cups/water bottlers.

Gels should slap on the greddy t518z turbo kit and call it a day

LOL as I was watching the end of this video a random FRS goes by my house with a loud exhaust

BRZ owner here, I respect the FRS and 86s but I get to say things like Subuwu and it makes me happy 😂💀

Can you break out the mullets and compare a 90s Camaro and a 90s Firebird?

I may want to really get one

Not angry, but bumper covers, headlights dual projectors on brz, tail lights, trunk insulation on brz, suspension, interior options like heated seats and radio set up on the brz. And some color options. Brz costs more due to brand, and interior tech, better projectors. Both good though. I like the frs more in the video.

Nitpicking here, but that FRS looks like a 2013, not a 2016. You can tell because it doesn’t have a sharkfin antenna and the stock radio isn’t a touchscreen. Overall great video, and awesome series idea

7:55 is me everyday lol

Do an episode on domestic vs import!

Love that the BRZ and the FRS are basically the same price in germany...

To pick the BRZ just because it's a Subaru is silly because the FR-S is also a Subaru. Every single piece on the FR-S was manufactured, assembled,and has the stamp of Fuji Heavy Industries/Subaru.

What exhaust and header setup is on the frs?

Love my Toyobaru

Can you post the mod list for both cars?

Do a 4 cylinder American Muscle

So can i still take my scion to suburu meets? I mean it has suburb engine right

Except the rear spoiler, the BRZ looks sooooooooooo good (in my eyes) Especially the wheels

350z & Rx8!

Some brz comes with the sti red intake manifold and brembo brakes. Not sure if the frs does.

FRS GANG

you should do the 180sx and the 240sx😉

What type of exhaust does Gels have on his FRS?

As a brz owner u always gotta correct people when they call ur car a frs ;) i always make sure they know its the same thing just. A different interior and bumper

exhaust sounds like garb on blue one

you should do the hyundai veloster vs hyundai genesis (2014-15)

debating on BRZ or FRS. BRZ handling is spot on from what I hear, is the FRS the same? from where I live it snows a lot so handling is very important!
