The guy in the video seems to be rather displeased with the BRZ. He complains about the engine size and it's ability to overtake other vehicles. He also says the "engine is not great and a bit drony".

The cover of their magazine seems rather negative as well:

"2000 MILES IN THE NEW BRZ - AND WHY IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Against its' rivals on road and track - and facing up to the legend"


Seems to be the most negative review I've seen so far. Hope it's more of his personal opinion than truth.
