Another review - CNET
 

Interesting that they mentioned the Aha radio interface as already installed in the HU. Haven't seen that in any of the reviews so far.

The reviews from the first drive in France had a preproduction non-nav headunit.

I know this has nothing to do with the car but I have a lot of trouble taking CNET (or any other "reputable" news source) seriously when their articles are filled with spelling and grammatical errors.

I know, I know, it's the age of the "blog" but it still makes my MA in English cringe when an article like this is so poorly written/edited.

"Driving the BRZ quickly is more about technique, efficiency of motion, maintaining inertia, and cornering mastery. The BRZ would respond more positively to a driver upgrade than a power boost, so your modding dollars would be probably best spent of a performance driving school."

Love it! (and didn't I read that on here somewhere before?)

The weight listed is 100lbs too heavy. 2782 is the official curb weight with actual examples weighing in at less.

EDIT: Nevermind, read it again and it was for the Auto, not the manual.

I wish he had the chance to play with the manual. With the shorter gearing, I think he would have enjoyed it even more.

Possibly me. My goal from the start was to invest more in track time, autox, and HPDE's.

Yep, that's it! Spot on, engee, spot on!

Yeah, I saw those had the base headunit. I feel like Inside Line had a unit with the nav and didn't mention it. Guess they weren't really into the tech as much as the car itself.

Either way, it's good news. I was worried that it wasn't going to be pre-installed, since I hadn't seen any news on it following the CES demo.

Good review, nice to hear a review about the head unit since nobody talks about that.

"Choosing a Subaru BRZ couldn't be simpler. There are only two decisions to make: Limited or Premium trim and six-speed manual or six-speed automatic gearbox"

Actually, choosing a FRS is simpler.

"Driving the BRZ quickly is more about technique, efficiency of motion, maintaining inertia, and cornering mastery. The BRZ would respond more positively to a driver upgrade than a power boost, so your modding dollars would be probably best spent of a performance driving school."


Spelling and Grammar errors or not, this guy "gets it" better than a lot of people on this forum. I am speaking to those who are whining for a turbo and/or comparing this car to a Mustang/Camaro/Genesis Turbo/370Z.

Learn to drive = Learn to get the most out of your car and have fun while doing so!

It was a decent read. I like his take on it.

Another review says the suspension is fairly stiff!

Def a good read though. Too bad he got saddled with the "slushbox." :bellyroll:

I think we need to show them how to write an objective(negative) review because they're not very critical(negative) about this car at all. :rolleyes:
