Worst-sounding engine I've ever experienced. I can't believe they found that to be an acceptable engine choice for a sports car. My 240Z may only have made 150hp but it sounded like pure sex, and I'll take that over 330hp any day! You need the SynchroRev feature because the motor hates to rev; a flywheel might fix that but still unacceptable for a sports car. Total deal-breaker for me, which sucks because I too love the way they look and everything else about the car was pretty nice.

I drove one yesterday just to make sure I was making the right choice with a BRZ, and I'm glad I did, because now I have no regrets!
Stop being so angry and biased. The 3.7L VQ37VHR V6 is a great engine. Sounds lovely and makes for an awesome Z. GTFO here with your rubbish asinine comments.
