Obviously he is saying that you dont need to rev out the other motor to climb a hill or achieve a decent merging speed because of the mid range torque. Small displacement, high revving car vs a turbo charger or a large(r) displacement v6 in that specific example.
Not comparing 0-60, average everyday usage. Same thing this forum discusses all the time. Also the same reason everyone says to "just drop gears and get above the torque dip." Etc etc.
To get the full 0-60 of this car you'll be launching and getting close to redline. Not everyone does this on a daily basis in every car.

It just goes back to what someone is used to. It's not "hard" for the driver to rev it up. it's more work for the engine sure, but it shouldn't be stigma against this car that you have to rev it up higher to merge or accelerate.
And I never really get to actual redline ~7400 to merge, I usually stay below 6500 when getting up, I just don't think that's a valid argument. Especially for people seeing this thread thinking they might want this car but decide against it.
The FRS/BRZ is not fast. But it is definitely more than capable for day to day commuting in almost any condition.
