you're lucky no cyclists on filming day. on some days, you can barely enjoy that road cuz cyclists pop up every few turns.

Countdown to live Q and A Joe! And 3 days till the 2025 Dodge Charger reveal.

What kind of watch are you wearing?

Great video, bro! And what a backdrop! 😮

@@noob.168that would be really annoying. I guess going out on a Monday afternoon is key!

Wow! How many miles on her?

If your car survived a 19 year old and still going strong 10+ years later, that speaks volumes for its durability! Keep enjoying.

I’ve got a 2016 Scion frs for 3 years and I hate the car so much. It’s got 140k miles. Has been a pain in the ass with reliability and I can’t stand how slow these cars are even with FBO.

Only 90,000 miles, I swear. During Covid, I only drove it like 5k miles in 2020. lol @adambedski

@@Bupkus68 Purchased my 06 STi in 2008 as an 18 year old. Still going strong today. Still on the original clutch, even after learning on it myself and teaching 2 other people on it. 110K miles, now. Had 44K when I bought it, used.

It was really the stars aligning The car, manual gearbox and the road!

I put a catback and cold air intake on and it sounds so good

HKS axleback ftw 🫡

I’ve owned 2 WRXs and now the BRZ, just a totally different driving experience, you will love it I’m sure, rwd is just the best thrill, steer it buy the steering wheel so to speak, engaging everytime you go out, just the right amount of power and midrange torque, can’t say enough !! 😊

@@Tonga2 Ohh man that sounds perfect. I'm so excited, I can't wait! Thank you for sharing your perspective!

I've had my 06 STi for 16 years, now.. I think I'm going to buy a tS, myself.. but I do plan on boosting it in the future. Possibly a supercharger, though, to keep that N/A feel but we'll see.. the stock power might even be enough, after I drive it for a bit but it's such a good platform to build on.

@@hhaste Agreed! I get the impression that the 86/BRZ was designed to be "good enough" from the factory with full knowledge that it would be tuned to the moon and back in the aftermarket. I've read that the superchargers available can get it up to ~300 HP which I think would probably be plenty for a little 2800 lb car like this. I've also read about people getting the rear diff with a 4.3 final drive from the previous gen to replace the 4.1 final drive in the 2022+ so they can get more low end torque across the board at the cost of a little top end high speed. The possibilities seem endless.

​@@jaron95 Exactly. I had my STi dyno tuned and makes 294WHP/344WTQ. Even being 600lbs heavier, it's still very fun to drive on the street. Around 300WHP out of the BRZ would be perfect and it would remain reliable. RWD and lighter weight, it would be so much fun for the road. You can actually row through the gears without doing 2-3X the speed limit before getting out of 2nd gear, like a Corvette or something else would.

What kind of tune did you get? Been thinking of getting one for mine but don’t know from where?

@@alexresendiz5139I was curious and went with the delicious tuning stage 1 package since they were one of the firsts to tune the car. Not a plug for them, but they were very helpful with the whole tuning and revisions process. The car itself isn't a different car, but the response and powerband difference are very noticeable. Power delivery is very smooth, throttle response is immediate, and there is no rev hang anymore. Not cheap, but i personally recommend it if you just wanna improve the driving feel of the car.

In Aus you can get a bolt on turbo kit for the 2.0L(states that its best for 2.0L), its under 5k US. HKS 11001-KT001 86/BRZ GTIII-RS TURBO PRO Kit, parts : GTⅢ-RS Turbocharger Assy with an actuator. Oil & Water Piping Parts Air Cleaner, Suction Pipe Front-mounted Intercooler, Piping Exhaust Manifold, CATTED Extension Insulator Cover, Insulator Sheet Gaskets, Brackets, Bolts, etc.

A dyno tune should be mandatory on these, anyway.. I've heard the factory tunes have a bit of knock. I see some with 40K+ miles though, so it's probably not enough to do damage but still.. Just wish it didn't void the warranty, I'd get a tune immediately after buying it, if it didn't.

@@hhaste right? If I want faster I'll get a supra. Whatever few hp an exhaust system gives me is fine. These engines are known to blow, so I am not fucking up that warranty!

That’s so fantastic! Congrats!

Is is better than a Miata?

@@RaitisRides- better than a Miata?

@@rembo183 Yes, it is. I'm 6' 2" and I fit, which automatically makes it better.

Where you order

That is really awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing that!

You are spot on the money!

I just don’t know how to drive a manual. Like I know how but I know I’d stall the car and burn the clutch out so quick on it

A rear spoiler with some more downforce? 🤣😂🤣

​@noahcrust2903 if u have heavy traffic don't get a manual, don't let them bully you into it. A good automatic is fine unless u plan to add more then 100hp in mods, in the future. I drove a BRZ automatic and it was blast it was kinda better then my veloster turbos DCT

What is the hard on for manuals? I just don’t get it

Thanks for riding shotgun with me Chris!

@@RaitisRides Always an honor Raiti

The lower the HP, the more fun you can have on the street. Especially when the car is lightweight, like the BRZ/GR86 is. In something like a Corvette, by the time you redline 2nd gear, you're already going 80MPH.. You can't even row through the gears and have fun on the street with that much speed, without going 2-3x the speed limit and risking jail time or a car impound

You are going to love it

Welcome to the red BRZ Limited club. I got mine a year ago and still watch these review videos on the regular 😂

Where and how did you order?

Congrats! That's going to be a blast, going from FWD to RWD with the extra power, handling etc.. I recommend getting an oil pressure gauge as soon as possible, though. If you're not familiar with the RTV sealant issue, look that up and you'll see why. Just for peace of mind, so you don't have to worry about constantly checking the oil pickup tube for excess sealant every couple thousand miles etc.. If it _ever_ drops, you'll know you prob have some sealant in there, then you can worry about checking it. I've heard removing the oil pan yourself will void the warranty, so it's better not to touch it.

That really means so much! Thank you!

Have you already received your nre BRZ ts? what do you think, Im between this one and the WRX TR

@@franklinalejandroparradopa3801 It arrived....though I've only had it for four days. It's been at the dealership for about three weeks now due to an issue with the Eye Sight Camera. Subaru's Tech Line has been unreasonably slow in responding to the dealership's service center. Tons of data has been sent to Subaru to identify the problem and they've been dragging their feet on the issue. Dealership is almost certain it's the windshield which has numerous imperfections that could affect the camera's view. Already, the camera system has been replaced without fixing the problem - and Subaru won't give authorization to replace the windshield. Next step is that Subaru is sending one of their engineers early next week to fix the issue. I spoke to a Subaru rep the other day telling them that they have 12 days left to fix it, otherwise I am taking full advantage of my state's Lemon Law and getting my money back to get a GR86. Also, the car arrived with damage to the trunk....presumably from the factory or during transit to the dealership. Due to the location of the huge scratch, I'm thinking it was the factory. Beyond frustrated. My old BRZ was fantastic and was virtually trouble free. This new one, I didn't even get 150' from the dealership before warning lights were all lit up.

I’m in love with it!

a lot of subies are in that color

@@RaitisRides Me too!

I know! Sapphire blue... I want one exactly like this. Love the bigger rims, brakes and the Ts logo!

I was leaning towards white myself. But then I saw this review and I gotta admit it does look great. With gold rims it’d be perfect.

Thanks Brian! You really should!

Thank you my friend!

hey man i own both 2017 Miata and 2020 brz ts and if u want more of a daily commute sports car thats practical go ts if not miata wins with the hard top esp in cali. driver analog is similar i like input on steering from ts better and interior, mazda infotainment is horrible to but u cant beat the reliability from the miata man. that being said u can fit 4 mounted tires in the brz for track days if u cant trailer, if i could pick one its brz for me tho all day.

@@NotoriouslyRed Thanks for the insights. We have a good daily commute car that is very practical but that open air driving the Miata offers is something special. In perfect world I would have the Miata and one of the twins. I really think all 3 cars will be more sought after as time goes on. Thanks again. My wife and I are just going to have to test drive the cars and see which one feels right. The good thing is that there are no real losers here.

@@StandingUpForBettercongrats for doing this and remove yourselves from the high mass of bland cars out there; if only more manufacturers would think along the lines of mazda and toyota, the "driving world" would be a much much better place.

@@eugenux Thanks and agreed. Our "family" car is a Honda Civic Type R and my wife was on board with me getting it. After driving around in that car and seeing the difference between a normal commuter car, although my daily was also fine-tuned on the Nürburgring, the Type R really made car people out of my teenager and wife. Self-driving cars and automated everything have made cars more appliances than passion-built machines. To the best of my ability, I want to continue to support those car manufacturers who are giving us true enthusiasts' machines.

This is so awesome to hear!

Stay tuned because I will be bringing it! Thanks for your support!

You got it my friend!

I am glad that I can bring this one to you!

You are so very right about that

Interesting comment. Think this might be spot on absolutely.😊😊😊

That is so fantastic to hear!

Heck yeah

Big time and the best part is no glare!

I wish the made the all black with red stitch too

I love how its only 228hp and has a G meter lolololzzz. the wrx and sti dont even have a G meter

@@drywater3559 True

@@drywater3559 It's just a feature.. It prob has one due to how good it handles. The BRZ/GR86 is a great starting platform to mod, so having the meter would become useful later on, after some tuning. "Only" 228hp is still good for how light the car is. Basically identical times to a stock STi. Being an STi owner for the past 16 years, I know it wouldn't be that useful having one on a stock WRX/STi due to how much they understeer, without doing mods to it.

Nice! I think I'm going to get one, myself.. be sure to get an oil pressure gauge as soon as you can. If you're not familiar, look up the RTV sealant issue. That way, you can monitor the gauge without having to keep taking the oil pan off and checking to see if any excess sealant broke off and is clogging up the oil pickup tube. If the pressure ever drops at all, you'll know it's from the RTV in the pickup tube and you can get it dealt with before it causes any problems.

This one was much more fun than the id4. Would you agree Tom?

@@RaitisRidesyes ! Like a roller coaster ride 🙂

The 91' 2+2 was my second car in highschool. It was an auto, but much heavier than these. I'm pretty sure these will feel quite a bit quicker than our old Zs!

Hatchback would rock

​@AstroZombie1 would feel much quicker than our boat of a 2+2 that's for sure since these are very much lighter!

That’s so fantastic to hear!

good point! plenty quick to have fun w and a very attractive car to boot

Thanks for having my back Eric!

Me too!

The innuendos are hilarious lmao “Sessions”

The great thing is, the GR86's front bumper (which I think looks better) is a direct fit on the BRZ. So, you can get either one without worrying about which looks better. It just depends which suspension feel you prefer, etc.

@@hhaste ok yeah I think it’s much easier to try to get a BRZ than a GR86 plus from the videos I’ve seen. They say BRZ has a better stock suspension and I can fit the 86 bumper on the BRZ that makes it easier for me to choose

@@hhaste My BRZ is in black, lowered / wide wheels / duckbill spoiler, and all of a sudden I prefer my BRZ bumper - originally wanted the GR but had to go the BRZ - so glad I did now!

AGREED

Same here!

I totally agree with you!

That is one of the things that sticks out to many people.
