FRS VS BRZ - EVERYDAY DRIVER
 
I still haven't figured out how to embed despite googling:

From the the Everyday Driver on Youtube:

They had pretty interesting thoughts during the end.

Great video! Doesn't change my decision about what one to get, as the suspension components are so easy to change, but it's really informative.

Makes me want to test drive the BRZ to see the difference. It's not like it matters though. With everyone swapping out the suspension the only difference is how you want to tune yours.

Great video!

Enough with the "low on power" commentary!!!! 200hp in a 2800 lbs car is perfectly acceptable. Get over it people!

I agree with you here. For me it good enough, I will not be running max speed.

Hahaha interesting ending!

Haha! I really like their review. It goes to show how it depends on driver preference.

I'm uncertain what to think of the conclusion: that the car you want has to do with your driving style. Mostly, I think, because I have no idea how to determine which driving style I have. The only thing I hear in there which makes the differentiation between Todd (in red, as always) and Paul (in blue, as always) is that Paul, who preferred the BRZ, also preferred lots of power. Todd, who worships the steering of the Elise, preferred the FRS.

Maybe I won't really know what they meant until I see the review of the cars.

Pretty good review...I usually like their reviews, but for some reason I was expecting Todd to hate both cars.

I think the power for the street is fine, but on a track once you see you're getting passed and not catching up to other cars; you'll want more power. I think that's natural.

Again on the street, I think both cars are probably pretty indistinguishable driving-wise.

Putting so much emphasis on the subtle handling differences may mislead the average person into believing the cars feel totally different. But that's how these guys entertain... by standing behind their opinions even if it means adding a some exaggeration. Hope they shoot the standard everday driver type review next.
