That new dash looks pretty darn good in real life, nice and bright.

Subscribed. Thanks for making a good and detailed review. I like the part where you show the acceleration runs and hear the engine sound. Keep on with the review! |

I. HATE. BIRDS. the one the took his business out on my car specifically.
This is the outcome of a golf ball sized crap that had been on the hood for <9hrs in 90 weather. And I havent even had my car for a month yet...and this happens on one of the hottest days in California this summer. Guys don't wait to clean off your bird crap. It killed me a little bit inside..one thing led to another when i was preasure washing the poop off, i accidently knocked the tip of the washer wand on my hood to create a small permanent scratch. Totally my fault but would not have happened if not for the bird. Just wanted to say....damn bird. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk |

Run your finger on the damage of its smooth without any roughness or a stop in your motion. Or if you don't feel anything under it or out of place like a indentation. You can wax and buff it and it will come off.

Well, I traded my '13 FRS in for a '17 BRZ Limited today. Definitely happy about the switch, the BRZ is so much nicer inside.
Love the steering wheel controls. Steering wheel IS thinner than my FRS wheel, but I still like it Shifting action is noticeably smoother and not as loose. I like the power delivery better, even with just taking it easy so far. Everything is just smoother. New headlights/DRL's are awesome. All the keyless entry/push button start things are nice to have, oh and backup camera. Soon, STX prep

I test drove a new ND Miata too, and it does have better power delivery for sure, but everything else is better about the BRZ IMO.

Very bad performance of the new BRZ in a comparative track test. It was only better to a Mazda 3 with a 1.5lt diesel engine.
The results: Mazda 3 1:24.275 127.93 km/h BRZ S 1:19.237 151.71 km/h Nissan March Bolero A30 1:18.965 141.48 km/h Levorg STI 1:15.395 158.46 km/h Lexus RC F 1:13.437 175.86 km/h Porsche 718 S 1:07.894 185.69 km/h I would expect to be at least faster than the sporty March Bolero (another 1.5lt/150ps car) and much closer to the family car Levorg.

I am sorry but this is not a "very bad performance" but more "very bad interpretation" by you. First it is clear that the track conditions vary a lot (especially that Micra vs BRZ lap), also isn't that Micra 4WD? And Levorg? On wet? And on stock fun BRZ tires?
