As a car enthusiast I am happier the 2nd gen is a 2.4 N/A. More power is always better with bigger displacement. Why would we need another smaller engine with a turbo in today's auto market. That's what all the mainstream is doing and the response, power linearity and delivery is not the same as an N/A car.

I love a raw no frills sports car. I appreciate it being normally aspirated and having a manual transmission. Roll up windows would be fine also. This power train will be going long after a turbo is toast. 👍🎯

I like this car for several reasons, it's RWD, it has a manual transmission, not as expensive as other cars. I think this is a fun car to drive. Ok, rear seats may be small and have enough room for people but hey, small sports cars aren't made for hauling people. This car and the Mazda Miata are my favorite cars to drive. Nice car and video. Greetings from El Salvador!

No, we enthusiasts definitely didn’t want it to be a turbo, and we didn’t want 50kgs of sunroof messing up the weight and CoG either!

I heard you say your getting to old for this when you got in there...Wait till your 42... its even worse getting in vehicles as you get older.HAHA!

the gauge display doesn't look cheesy... its clean and gimmick free. huge difference.

Bro, did you say you're getting too old for this? PLEAZE lol. Love your content. Btw last time I saw that tach screen was on my 1985 XT-Turbo.

After test driving an 86 last year, I've been shopping for a 2022 BRZ limited trim. While I think the GR86 looks better, I wanted a more compliant suspension. In the San Francisco Bay Area, Serramonte Subaru is charging $15,000 above MSRP, and with added dealer options, it's $50,000! Diablo Subaru in Walnut Creek is expecting one in 2 weeks for MSRP, so I've reserved it. My wife said it reminds her of my old Mazda RX8. Having previously owned 6 coupes, including V8s, I'm alright with less power, more balanced, more practical sports coupe.

Would love to see a video on the excellent cameras you are using, This is top notch video

You're like asking for too much like heads up display, bigger touchscreen, better gauge display, that isn't the point of the BRZ the point is pure driving excitement.

I'll buy 10 thank you, 1 to daily and 9 to keep in a warehouse for about 30 years.

Thank you! Love manual, naturally aspirated cars...

2022 Subaru BRZ Limited looks great in blue exterior color ! Slainte' ! Cheers !

Great review sofyan.

Just Turo’d one of these in Hawaii, for a fun weekend car, Miata RF felt more special.

i just picked up a 2024 brz-ts, and love it. it is so basic, it takes you back to earlier times when cars were simple. the engine, like the presenter stated, loves to be used. love the 7500 redline. i was looking at the 2023 wrx, and that is about 1k lower redline. ended up that you needed to shift too soon on the wrx. the brz just wants to go, go, go!

The blue paint with grey wheels 😍 💙

Love. This. Car

great review

Dealer mark up is going to be nuts on these 😵‍💫

i ordered one of these a few weeks ago. trading my 2019 veloster N for it...pretty excited.

funny, i love the digital display. its so simple but solid.

I bought one. I have had the first gen. I put 150k on it over 10 years. I bought it for almost the same money as the first one. I think it’s a miracle that this thing even exists in 2022.

Younger buyers? Half of everyone of these that I see is driven by someone over 30. I was passed by a woman that was well over 70, yesterday. I love that these seem to be every persons cars.

Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!

I saw "RE" in the title and immediately thought, "uh oh, some one did a rotary swap!!!" Lol

My only gripes are the digital cockpit and the sound induction.

Nice drive 👍

Not more refined? I had two versions of the prior generation and this is worlds different it’s not even close as far as refinement goes. The interior is much nicer than it was in the prior generation. The quality of the materials that they use inside is an upgrade the leather steering wheel and upgrade the doors the way they open and shut an absolute upgrade the infotainment and the electronic speedometer/odometer upgrade I can go on and on and on. Not sure what you were expecting. Maybe you should drive the prior generation one more time just to get an idea of how cheap everything was in the car

THE front end of the brz looks like a smiley face

I'm a 62.5 year old owner of a lowered mustang gt, I don't have any issues getting in or out of it I don't want hear any complaints

The trick for the 0-60 mph is that the car hits 60 as you crest the top of 2nd. That’s why the magazines can get under 6 whereas a 0-62, 0-100km, is 6.3.

Weird I got 5.8 seconds 0 to 60 in my first try in my GR86 on Michelin x snow tires. A few other youtubers have got around the same number too. But where this gen really shines compared to before is mid range torque. On a twisty road, I really can't see myself wanting a different car.

I don’t understand why dealers charging 42k 40k …. 🤦🏻‍♂️ they killing the sale point of the car

How’s the sound system in the limited?

A lot of people are getting this into the mid-to-high 5's, 0-60. Car and Driver magazine reported 5.4 seconds for their example.

Nice S2K replacement, especially for the money. Miss that VTEC tho.

Just curious, when and where is this video recorded?

I know they are 2 different vehicles and you have tested both but what's your take on the Toyota GR Corolla vs this car? I'm looking at both but can't decide which is the better for me.

good luck finding one at msrp

Stop complaining about the trivial things. It's not a $50K car.

I don't get why people would want a sunroof on a sports car; cutting a hole in the roof affects body stiffness.

It seems like Subaru did all the work & Toyota just slap it’s badge on. That’s why I rather get the Subaru version.

Actually the 0 to 60 times for the manual is 6 seconds and I have seen some get 5.8 seconds. Yes a power moon roof would be cool. I would go with the Subaru version because Toyota’s dealership customer service has really went down hill recently and I think the grill on the Subaru looks better

Also not deleting the Eye Sight feature on the manual would be nice. Oh well maybe 2024 will be little better model and address these problems. I will wait.

I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU INVITED ROMAN, FROM TFL, TO DO A JOINT REVIEW

If you can buy only one car, would you choose Subaru or MX-5 miata RF

If I didn’t have my Fiata, I would buy one of these as my fun car

You should be able to get closer to 6 seconds flat on a dry surface and warmer temps. Oh and that piped in synthetic engine noise sounds GOD AWFUL! There should be a button in the cabin to disable it. Fortunately you can go to your local dealer and have them disable it fairly easily.

That front end got Ferrari California vibes

Can you review a camaro v6

for some reason, people still hate it when they know it’s a brz 🤣

I bet in 2024 they will magically find more HP and torque. I think they detune them and then add HP back in later models to get more sales

Any way to turn off the fake engine noise?

Would you buy this or the new civic SI?

3:18 ''sharknose BRZ''

For all the people bitching about the turbo and the 50kg's of additional weight; SHOW me your lap times and how all this actually negatively impacted everything....and that you're not being a Lemming and just regurgitating what the moronic world is saying

BRZ or the GR86?

Quick question, I'm seeing a few KZfaq videos by guys talking about silicone in the pick-up tube of the engine. Potentially could be an issue. Are they using silicone instead of a gasket? That would really piss me off as this same issue happened on my 1996 Corvette where the silicone dried up and started leaking.

Brought my BRZ 2022 a month back and I am really happy with the decision. The car does not come with a donut wheel. So I installed a full size tire in the spare tire storage area (trunk). You may look this video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsuFosmJ29uteKs.html

Should have made this one a hatchback

Do you criticize Porsche for not changing design of the 911?

Why does a 2.4 non turbo require premium?

I have the 2018 BRZ and its all around a better looking car

Don't forget about dealer markups.😑

Sports cars are supposed to be a little raw. The BRZ is like a Miata just a tad bigger. They handle close

Team Subaru

Back to analog instruments.

Subaru looks way better than the GR86! :)

Getting into 1st was always an issue with the 1st gen and it sounds like it is still with the 2nd gen... i always wondered how people auto crossed this car with constant need to downshift into 1st...

Where is the convertible for the love of God?

The interior looks like a Scion TC replacement, if Scion lived

14% increase

Toyota version looks better 👏🏽

Really wanted it but with the current rtv situation it looks like pretty much every engine is bound to fail

A 3L v6 would be just right for this. It should be able to do 0-60 in 4.8 sec avg.

Turbo adds more cost! so I don't see why it's necessary besides being some sort of childish 🙃 adult children thinking 90% of the buyers are getting turbo, but really it's only 10% because of this so called economy inflation where everyone is moving around in circles.

Yeah it looks pretty wet. I bet you are losing some traction and that’s why you are getting slower 0 to 60 times.

My 15 yr old V6 268 hp camry gets better mpg.

Is there no car manufacturer that can make a decent looking interior AND exterior. It’s always one or the other. The outside looks GORGEOUS from all directions and then the inside… lmao. It’s like they only had pizza-party budget money left over and used it to design the interior. The startup chime, wtf is that? The instrument display cluster?? The infotainment??? The steering wheel????The buttons and knobs????? I just.. don’t understand?!?

You must be terrible at launching cars. You got a 6.7 sec 0-60mph in the manual, while Car and Driver got a freakin' 5.4 secs 0-60mph with the same 6MT.

It does need the AWD option though or I’d have to garage it when the seasons change…

Typical cheap Subaru interior. I've owned 2 Subaru vehicles, a previous gen WRX and now a current gen Impreza Sport and they both had the cheapest interiors I've ever had in a vehicle. The worst thing about Subaru interiors is the endless rattles. I swear, no other manufacturer has as many rattles in the dash. It's infuriating and so annoying. They need to re-engineer the fasteners they use or something.

If they killed the wrx sti they wont make a brz sti thats forsure subaru is starting to lose there fan base because if that dumb move trying to go electric bs

WARRANTY VOIDED

No storage. Okay as a college or High School car. Chicks would dig it. Cool if you’re in your 20’s. If 30 and above only for losers.

When I saw the power train specs I never clicked off a video so fast. I get it’s a tuner car but this is miserably underpowered.

ALHAMDULILLAH(SWT)- ASTAGHFIRULLAH(SWT)

Get the new 2023 Z for 10k more double the HP

Great handling car that’s still too slow. Interior is very cheap looking

No removable Targa top, no convertible...just another boring hardtop. Yawn. Might as well be driving a Prius.

Cheapest Porsche

First

Still seems kinda lame that my 2007 Camry can beat this thing to 60...

Looks like a Hyundai Tiburon......Not a compliment.

What a slug It’s laughable how slow it is

So glad this car and the new Z exists. I don't care neither runs on a clean sheet design, they're both a throwback to the 90s JDM golden years.
