Trueno as a daily?
Hi Everyone,
It has been 6 months since an idiot hit me and my 2019 BRZ limited got totaled. I am waiting since Sep 2023 for a BRZ but very unlikely to find one (WRB, AT). Today I checked the Trueno and liked the automatic Halo's look. since the dealer asked for an 8500 dealer adjustment I did not even bother to test drive it. I was happy with the comfort of my BRZ. Will this Trueno edition be too harsh for a daily? I know there are some differences regarding ride quality but is it that noticeable? 18 The GR dual exhaust: is that something like the 2018 TRD exhaust? Any input especially from those who had the chance to drive the BRZ and 86is much appreciated. thanks |

My old daily was an 2013 FRS with TRD lowering springs and TRD exhaust.
My new daily is a Trueno with GR exhaust. The new GR exhaust has definitely less drone, and is perhaps a slight bit quieter than the TRD exhaust. A deeper/louder sound than stock though. The Trueno and sachs dampers are MUCH nicer and compliant than the old struts and TRD lowering springs, and although tastes differ the Trueno ride is not harsh at all to me. That said, the BRZ was always a bit softer than the FRS, so I cannot comment on the ride relative to the BRZ. Really you are going to have to judge ride quality for yourself... it is just too subjective. What I think is a great improvement over the FRS with TRD springs might still be to stiff for some people...

Thanks for the detailed response.
Still considering the BRz but if I can find a Trueno without the crazy dealer adjustments will try to get it. Did you also get the subwoofer as an add on? Some have it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Any Gen2 will be much better vs gen 1 as a daily. Personally you can't go wrong with either. I would try and hold out for a standard BRZ

AutoTrader seems to list a number of new blue BRZ in your general area... but none with AT. Tough to get an AT in a car known for its MT. (Funny, when I was looking in late '22, the dealer was baffled that anyone would want an MT!) Around here BRZs are easier to get, as our Subaru dealers are generally nicer to deal with than Toyota... but equally bad at fixing things. Good luck.
