Just to be clear, the engine is turning over fast, like normal? The noise you hear when it starts is engine compression/valves opening and closing, plus, in the case of a BRZ/FRS, very loud direct...

I suspect the long-term solution is sound-deadening mat.

It's a standardized labor time. If you do a job 100 times you're going to get really good at it. Why should you punish the skilled technician working on your car for being good at what he does?

It's an inherent flaw in how many mechanics are paid (flat rate/per job). It's a high-skill trade, they have to provide their own tools and maintain knowledge. You're not just paying a mechanic for...

I just changed the oil on an FR-S at ~5500 miles. It was a quart low on the dipstick. Seems to be normal in a lot of new engines that run 0w20. It's thin. It gets consumed easily. I also feel...

These things are still moving pretty quickly. I've only seen a couple cars sit on the lot for more than a few days since it came out last year. Most of the new PDI cars already have a 'sold' sign...

2GR weighs about 360 pounds, loaded up, as I recall.




We're not talking about a 2,000 pound Miata or Corolla. This thing is almost certain to tip the scales around 3,000 pounds.

The new -GR series Toyota V6s are very light and yes, reasonably compact. Not as good for weight distribution as a boxer engine, but still very good. Good enough that I seriously doubt most people...

Is anyone else on the fence due to the engine choice?

I'm sorely disappointed that they're not using something like the IS350's 3.5L V6 in this car... never mind that they're (likely?) putting a boxer engine in it.

I like the concept of the car, but...
