Got beat by just 1 minute!

Kinda boring.

MRZ415 04-25-2012 01:11 PM

And here I was thinking people in the UK prefer MT rather than AT

sprintertrueno86 04-25-2012 06:02 PM

that was painful to watch, especially with the driver making stupid faces.

Guff 04-25-2012 07:46 PM

He looks like David Tennant....

ngabdala 04-26-2012 03:28 AM

He has that look where you get the urge to punch him the face. Some people just have that look.

I do appreciate his negative comments on the engine. It's something for me to keep in mind on a test drive. I'd love to be able to say that he is as dumb as he looks.

That was downright depressing, like someone died.

ngabdala 04-26-2012 02:33 PM

What I hate about the video is it's making me question whether the car is right for me. I want more torque. The only way to get the answers I need is a test drive.

whitejdm 04-26-2012 03:17 PM

He didn't seem taken with that car AT ALL lol. Reminded me of my reaction when I test drove the 370Z...

I couldn't even test drive 370z. I couldn't fit at 6"2

Slow overtaking ability and a drony sounding engine....

Will def look for that if we can ever get a test drive.

I read the EVO magazine only gave the BRZ 3.5 stars.

ngabdala 04-30-2012 11:56 PM

Don't believe them and you have to remember the car goes for double over there. I'd bitch too if it cost me 50k.

I've seen two brz to date and the car is perfect. It's so perfectly balanced that any changes to the car fuck up the weight distribution.

The guy says it's not very comfortable ride. What ride is driving 12+ hours in the driver seat unless you strip the seat and put in a LA-Z-BOY recliner ?

bimmerboy 05-01-2012 12:30 AM

wow what a shitty review. and that guy is annoying as fuck.

I'm okay if you have constructive criticism about the car, but in 6 min all I got was that he didn't like the sound of the engine and that he thinks its lacking power...

ngabdala 05-01-2012 12:36 AM

I also appreciate criticism. I had the most criticism of anyone and after seeing a brz twice. Asking many many questions I have come to conclude it is perfect. Nothing needs to be changed under the hood, exterior, or interior. It's a work of art and I'm not talking about how sweet the car looks. I'm talking about weight distribution , low weight, cog, handling. All the stuff we were told about the car that makes it awesome. Well, it's true.

It's hard to pick up because of how quickly he talks, but he actually says: "...it's quite a small car, the BRZ, and so I was thinking it would really be quite uncomfortable on a long journey, but it's not; you're simply low on your car.. (then rambles on about low cog and engine etc)"

In other words, it's surprisingly comfortable and not uncomfortable given the type of car it is haha.

ahhh, that damn brit accent combined with the large brit teeth and I need a translator to understand the guy
