Japan-spec infotainment center

I noticed that there is a difference between Japan-spec infotainment screen as being slightly larger than the non-JDM spec models. I was wondering if anyone knows whether Subaru plans on making these...

Literally the same. Based on the initial launch drives in Japan, the BRZ sounds like it's the more stable ride. More predictable and therefore more suitable for my driving needs. Otherwise, I like...

I think I'm in the same boat as many people here.

I currently have a 2018, less than 25k miles on it. I like it, but from what I can tell, the second generation seems like a better car. They kept...

Odd, I have no problem heel-toeing mines, but then again, I've been driving manuals for a while now, so maybe I got used to adapting. I always thought the 86 had the ideal pedal distance (especially...

I'm genuinely surprised about the suspension tuning of the 86. I'd have thought Toyota learned something from the pushback about the Supra's random bump oversteer (something a lot of people,...

If this is true, then it would be an easy fix. Buy the premium model but remove the spoiler so that it can look like all other market 86s.

Yeah, that's too bad. This should definitely be an add-on only. I assume there's no taking it off without there being some issues regarding the holes there.

Hopefully they'll fix that for later...

I noticed this has the 18-inch wheels but no additional spoiler in the back like the U.S. specs that come with the 18s. Does this mean that the spoiler is U.S. only where to get the upper-trim one...

I think they'll retain value pretty well, and perhaps in 10 years when everything is completely hybridized/EV'd, the unmodified ones with low miles will be highly sought after.

That's the main reason. Plus, wanting to wait and see how the car is (which I'm mostly sold on), options and what kinds of discounts after car sales peak.
