What should we review next?
Probably a Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid. 😁
718 Cayman! Base!
Might as well do WRX even though :/
Y'all should try the new Nissan Z, if you haven't already!
S5 / S4
You are the only brz owner who sat in the back seat to show us if people can fit. I'm not kidding. Thank you!
And what did we learn? 😂
yeah that really something,,😊
My son took my grandkids 3 young adults for a ride in mine. All fitted and survived although my grand daughter told me not to let her father drive it again.
The rear seats are NOT there for insurance purposes. Toyota chief designer Tetsuya Tada has literally said he gave the 86/BRZ rear seats simply so they can fold down and owners can carry an 4 extra tires to the track. That’s it…he said he didn’t want to create a pure two-seater like the Miata and S2000 because those require a trailer, or a friends van to carry extra tires and he said that’s a pain in the ass. So he made millimeter adjustments to the car specifically so an extra set of tires fit with the rear seats folded down. That is the only answer why it has rear seats.
To go further, insurance companies haven't been fooled by the 2+2 trick since the 1980s, if not earlier. Risk assessments today are based on crash statistics, demographic info, and other data points that are much more related to the potential insurance payout than an extra pair of seats that never get used. The fact that everyone still spreads this little bit of misinformation really highlights how little understood insurance is.
Yes. When I bought my first MX-5 eight years ago, my insurance premium was actually less than what I was paying a month before for my Mazda3! I just got a '22 BRZ yesterday because I need to haul around my grandkids sometimes, but I still wanted a sports car. We'll see what happens with the insurance, but I don't expect any surprises.
I got a 22 BRZ. Amazing car. The reason I chose BRZ over the GR86 was the 7K markup on all the 86’s in my area.
BRZ has more fancy seats and wheels. Looks cooler than the 86. Congratulations on MSRP in the madness.
@@salimrandall The BRZ has a smiley face, not very cool.
Same
@@saulespino2510 so does a mclaren p1.
Screw toyota dealerships and their scam tactics, there are plenty of mods to make the front end look better than toyota and if you want the rear end to slide get a stiffer rear sway bar cheap and easy to intstall yourself.
Nice review of the new BR-Zed! 😁
It's all perspective. The infotainment for me is amazing space aged tech.
Former RF owner now in a 2022 BRZ here. I loved the Mazda and I love this. Pick either and you can’t go wrong…but if you are over 182cm (6ft) you are actually going to fit in the BRZ.
Actually had the BRZ (still completely stock) on track today and I spent 15 mins chasing two GR Yaris…and you know what? They were a tiny bit quicker on the straights but not very much. I was expecting them to run away and they didn’t.
How did it do under braking? That’s my concern
@@Kart_18_Racer I was running at 8 to 9 tenths on a pretty flowing track, so I wasn’t troubling the brakes overly. I think they could become the weak link.
Truck engine was a bit disrespectful, though i understood what you meant. That said, it does rev to 7500. Most cars dont rev past 6000 these days, even NA. Performance oriented competitors in this segment dont rev past 6700, not even the SI. Its a pretty healthy revvy engine.
Blows my mind how many people wanna ruin this car by making it supra priced because turbo/awd. This is supposed to be a spiritual successor to the AE86 not Supra or Celica GT Four. Not to mention all the people who ask for these expensive changes end up not even buying the car. 🤦
Not to mention turbo complexity and reliability concerns.
Mike really could sell anything. I don't even like Subaru like that (or smaller vehicles in general), but thanks to Ian and Mike, I could so very easily see myself driving that thing. And I do like how "underdog" it seems. It's like the type of car that you wouldn't expect to be fun, but it turns out to be a barrel of laughs. :D
Underdog? It looks like a sexy $100,000 sports car. It's very eye catching.
@@braetonwilson4296 only the Subaru badge gives it away.. not that I cared one bit.
4:40 Better than S2K in every way.
Except VTEC.
1:30 Small, comfortable and fun
2:40 Engine
3:55 Aluminum/light weight
5:30 Baby NSX looks
8:55 Old tech
10:30 Good resale value
it has more low/mid range torque than S2K but top end S2K will win
This is a sexy looking car especially for the price.
It’s crazy they less then ten thousand of these every year, I think the peak sales hit 11K during 2016.
I find the problem getting in personally. Exiting or as you say "pulling myself out" is easy to me.
Awesome video thank you. My BRZ has just arrived. My challenge: fitting a drum kit haha....
Love my 2022 BRZ. The GR86 costs $2,000.00 MSRP.
Might actually trade in my Miata for one of these... I guess we'll see 🙈
6:50, was that a fart? 😂
even though this has a boxer engine ... i would pick this over a miata ANYDAY. Miata's are too damn small
Winner!
Quick question, I'm seeing a few TH-cam 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.
Is very minor.... people who are tracking the cars are having any problems from it. Is like 1 out of 10,000. If you get this check after 5k km... I can't see any issue..
This car or GR86?
Ive had many porsches and driven virtually every porsche there is and i now own a 2019 brz ts which is better then the porsches and better then this newer brz with the only mod on my car is the header and tune. This is my honest opinion
Liking the looks of the BRZ than the GR86 🤔
❤️
If possible for Thursday night 🌙
Also people are selling these for $5-10k above MSRP used because they're that unobtanium.
I just got a '22 BRZ for $32,998. There were 3 new ones left in the country, local dealer was only willing to ship one of them here, and then it was bought the next morning by someone before they could send it here. At least a 5 month wait for a '24 but I needed a car now. I bit the bullet and paid more than MSRP for a 2 year old car, but only 5700 miles, mint condition, and I couldn't be happier.
The hood is aluminum on the first gen. also.
You can make right turns in a Porsche
I see 👀 in peekaboo
THOSE ARE TAIL LIGHTS. end rant*
If you wanna buy a Cayman, there’s no substitutes if they’re charging half of the price of the authentic one lol
Solutions:
1. Save money and get the Cayman.
2. Wait some time for getting a cheaper offer on this car.
Superb 👉Subaru ❤.
Tiny , affordable, stylish and speed...
It's faster than a Miata?
Yes
Not mechanically the same, the BRZ has aluminum front hubs and the GR86 doesn't.
I generally prefer Subarus, but the GR86 grill looks so much better. The grill looks too goofy. Still lean toward a Miata for a long term ownership option as my last manual transmission car.
2160p @ 60fps please
Not a huge fan of how 60p looks. Big fan of 24fps haha.

those are tail lights ...
Make a review for GR86 bro. TIA. More power!
Hi Mike, i mean it´s a good small relatively sporty 2 door coupe, not really up to date but the biggest issue is the price i think, it´s a little bit to high for that what Subaru offers to the customers.
Miata .. have something that you cannot do on a brz ...top down never forget M.i.A.T.A. miata is always the answer😉😉
It rolls like a boat.
@@zinny999 i solve the problem easily just put a coilover set and voilà! You got the cheapest convertible track car on the market 😉
Rather have less road noise and a stiffer chassis
Backseats is always the answer as a miata owner
Owning a bunch of two seaters forever insurance claim is a lie. Don't believe me price it try brand new Miata vs WRX
How could it slay a Miata if it has a close top?
Because they're both sports cars...
Because only wankers drive with a soft top
@@mharro88 Miata doesn't only come with a soft top lol. Lrn2GoOglE
@@FDNY101202 That's like saying a Honda Odyssey slays a GR86 "because they're both cars". Come on, really? One is a convertible while the other isn't. You're leaving out the biggest feature of a Miata.
@@BN99239 in Australia they do. They're for softcocks
A real car driver chooses manual. Obvious reasons no Diddy.

❤🎉😊😮
It'll never be a Miata slayer until they offer a rag top
No. The AE86 wasn't a rag top. Don't ruin/ over complicate my boi.

All the car shows i go to 99% of the brz/frs/86 owners are young kids.
64 year old 2022 BRZ owner here.

43 and just got my 2023
38 here, seriously planning to get the 2023 one
@@dan_dai i was looking into the GR86 but the Z has taken over.
1st
🔥
Still rather have a miata
Nah too slow

You do grreat review on TH-cam. You are picky on choosing your girlfriend
A cheap sports car. The insurance industry basically killed this category. Anybody younger will pay through the nose to own one of these I'd guess.
subaru brz is lighter and faster than gr86
Wrong
@@moldyrefrigerator th-cam.com/video/86Hci52Fuh0/w-d-xo.html
@@moldyrefrigerator subaru invested much more money in brz than gr86 in tests carried out in japan by professional drivers subaru is faster it is harder there are a lot of differences even the playing system that's why i chose subaru 😃
They’re literally the exact same cars with one minor difference in suspension tuning. The 86 has actually posted faster lap times than the brz in case you didn’t know
@@ak740_ please, if you didn't know, this is just one of many such wins by subaru

its light YES but its S L O W ...
No one should review back seats in sport coupes. That just dumb and common sense. Really!,
Porsche 911, Camaro, Supra, Mustang, and all coupes cars. Next time don’t do that again
perfect car if it had a turbo and AWD
You can add a turbo aftermarket I guess
then why ever buy the wrx?
Idiot buy the WRX
In case you do not know, Subaru had this WRX STI that suits your requirements. And of course, price is higher. Cheers~
No/No. This is what killed all of our favorite cars of the 90s.
The ND2 Miata is more fun to drive period (especially the soft top at just 2340lbs or ~ 500lbs less than the BRZ w/ top down) so "Miata Slayer" the BRZ is not, not even remotely close. It's its nice little car but no sense in being delusional about things.
Each to their own - “more fun to drive period” is not true. The BRZ is simply different and I personally enjoy the experience more than the Miata (same way you prefer the Miata). Gotta drive and decide individually
Nice review of the BR-Zed! 😁
