Yup! I think the radio is pretty decent. If not, try to listen to it when the car is not moving or with the engine off. The problem is the car's lack of acoustic... finesse? Might have to do a bit of...

That Yaris GR is HOT!!! I'm somehow wishing they put a similar engine/performance in their Toyota CH-R, which have the look but totally missing the bite. :)

I never like the WRX look and...

Does this basically make the engine spool up faster, having a better ratio? Is the difference noticeable vs. the older 4.1?

Bummer, I just saw this. Would've been quite last-minute if I hear it 10 days ago, but I'd definitely consider it.

Are you going to organize one again in the near future? Thank you.

This reminds me... when I started using the app and can see the throttle response, my '13 BRZ has this vague initial throttle response, the 0-20/30%. But after that, it's spot on. Also, once the car...

The N20, I had the 2016 228i.

In my reading also found out the HP goes up when BMW switched to the B48, which is also in the I4 turbo Supra. Interesting.

I traded a 2016 BMW 228i, inline-4 turbo, for the BRZ. Gotta admit the one thing I missed from the 228i is the engine. It's a gem, revs to 7K, barely any lag. 0-60 in 5.5 secs, would be even faster...

The turbo makes the mundane moments a tad more exciting. The previous owner installed one, about 50-70HP more. I'd be okay without for the turbo for the twisty duties. Something about being able to...
